Concrete paving may not seem that exciting when compared to natural stone or other, more glamourous-sounding options on the market.

However, there are plenty of reasons to consider this material for a backyard. And, as our roundup of ideas shows, it can look just as chic as its counterparts.

For starters, whether you’re looking for patio paving solutions or planning a new path, concrete tends to be cheaper than stone or porcelain slabs.

But it’s not just the affordability that makes this a good landscaping option: it can look great, too. Concrete is fast-becoming the go-to material of choice for those seeking to create an intrinsically cool, urban look in their garden.
