At Distinctive Deck Designs, we love to use Techo-Bloc products for our paver installation services because they hold up especially well in Northern Virginia’s climate. Here we see all sorts of weather, and their products withstand all the elements that our weather has to offer. Recently, Techo-Bloc released their 2015 Catalogue full of new products and hardscaping trends for the year. Keep reading to view this year’s most trendy outdoor spaces to inspire you for your own home renovation.
The English Garden draws inspiration from the Cape Cod aesthetic and brings the look to life with both traditional and contemporary elements. This is great for a gazebo or covered patio area because it uses a mixture of a cobblestone and the elongated slate pavers. The photo below uses Antiqua and Monticello stone, though we recommend the cream and ivory tones of Pure and Eva for a classical, elegant appearance.
The pictured example of the Country Rustic style uses the new Borealis outdoor hardwood flooring. If you wanted to incorporate wood into your outdoor space, Prescott retaining wall products and Villagio hardscape stones are great options to complete the look.
Luxury homeowners will want to pay special attention to the Contemporary collection featuring Raffinato, BLU and Industria products. The Raffinato line also surrounds a beautiful outdoor fire pit and pizza oven! Ask our design experts how to work this into your existing patio space.
Euro Flair is going to have the outdoor design industry talking. Tux products help bring the classic black and white bistro combo to outdoor terraces and patios. The French and European influence is strong in this image, with crystals and iron-wrought details.
If you prefer a traditionally Northern Virginian aesthetic, you may be most interested in the Polished Casual combination. Natural wood colors pair exquisitely with Travertina with Rocka, Stonedege and Antika accents to provide a combination of natural, smooth stone with some semi-rough surfaces for contrast. All of these stone pieces come in natural light earth tones to put more focus on your wood features and outdoor furniture accents.
The final Techo-Bloc hardscaping trend is the Exotic and Eclectic one. This collection looks great for poolside decks and displays minimal grout for a more seamless look. The Rocka step design brings a lot of character to the overall display. The pictured example also features Inca and Portofino hardscape materials.
