Picture Perfect: How Paving Can Transform Spaces

Good day everyone. I'm Shandalle and welcome to my paving blog. I work as a secretary for a paving company and I must confess that I had no interest in design when I began working in this office. Over the past five years, however, I've learnt how carefully chosen, well-placed pavers can transform spaces such as gardens, parks and public walkways. It has been a real eye opener! One of the best parts of my job is the annual photography competition. Our contractors take pictures of their best work and, as an impartial judge, I get to choose the winner! I am just so impressed by the fantastic effects that a quality paving contractor can achieve. I have started this blog to inspire others out there who might want to tackle a paving job and are looking for ideas. I hope you find something useful in these entries. Enjoy.
