Photography and Video Tips
  • Photos are best taken on sunny days before 10am or after 3pm
  • Note the direction of the house and sun to avoid any unwanted shadows
  • Make sure the lawn is cut, edges trimmed, and cultivate flower beds that have a ‘packed’ appearance
  • Pavers and walls should be entirely dry and free of any sand on the surface

 

Check out this video for more tips on how to make your project photos look amazing

 

Watch Video

  • Choose an angle that will enhance the paver pattern and joints
  • Photos taken from elevations like upper decks improve the overall view
  • Check the background of the photo for any unwanted objects (wheelbarrows, hoses etc.)
  • People and pets make the photos more interesting
