6 Planting Ideas for Your Outdoor Paver Patio to Give it an Eco-Decor Touch

If you have a patio or paver walkway, you may be wondering what kind of plants would work best. Here are six ideas for planting to make it an amazing paver patio evergreen in San Jose, or wherever you live:

1. Perennials

Perennials are a great choice for your patio. They come back year after year, so you won't have to spend time and money on planting new flowers each spring. Plus, perennials require less maintenance than annuals--you don't need to plant them every year since they'll come back on their own!

If you want something low-maintenance but still colorful and interesting, choose a perennial border around the edge of your patio with different types of plants that bloom at different times: some will bloom in summer and others will bloom in fall or winter. You could even add some shrubs if you want more privacy from passersby; just make sure they're not invasive species (like ivy).

2. Shrubs

Shrubs are a great choice for your patio. They can be trained to grow in a variety of ways, so you can use shrubs to create privacy or block out noise from the street. The best part? Shrubs are like plants on steroids--they're incredibly low-maintenance and easy to care for!

In addition to being beautiful additions to your outdoor space, shrubs also provide a sense of enclosure that many people find comforting when they're sitting out on their patios or porches.

3. Trees

Planting trees is a great way to add shade and beauty to your patio. The best trees for patios are those that are native to your area, hardy enough to survive the climate where you live, and appropriate for the size of your patio. You should also consider whether or not they'll grow into the shape or size you want them too--for example, if you want an apple tree but don't have room for one because there's already another tree in place on your property that takes up all of its space (elderberry bushes often do this), then planting an apple might not work well at all!

4. Grasses and Ground Covers

Grasses and ground covers are great for areas that don't get much sunlight, or for areas where you don't want plants to grow. They're also low maintenance, so they're perfect for those who aren't able to take care of their plants as well as they'd like.

You can use grasses in place of traditional flowers or shrubs if you want something less colorful but still beautiful. You may also choose to include some ornamental grasses in addition to other flowering plants on your patio; this will give it more color and texture!

5. Roses

Roses are a beautiful addition to your patio, but they need space and care. Before planting a rosebush, consider whether you have the time to maintain it properly. Roses need lots of sun and water, so make sure that your patio has enough sunlight and drainage for watering purposes. You can also use an irrigation system with an automatic timer if necessary.

Roses should be planted in soil that has been amended with compost or fertilizer prior to planting them; this will help them grow strong roots quickly once they've been established in their new environment.

6. Annuals and Vegetables

Annuals are plants that grow for one season, and then die. They can be planted in spring, summer, or fall. Vegetables are plants that grow from seeds and produce food--you'll need to plant them in spring (before it gets too hot), summer (when the weather is warm), or fall (after the first frost).

• Planting in containers is an option if you don't have room for raised beds. The best ones are made out of plastic and come with inserts that hold soil and water until it's time to water again. This helps prevent over-watering issues as well as keeping roots from getting too wet--a big problem when dealing with fresh produce!

• Another option is raised beds made specifically for gardens (they can also be used indoors). These will give you more space so that you can grow more than one type of crop at once without overcrowding them; plus they're easy enough to move around if needed!
