Upper Arlington lots are mature and often tightly spaced, which means paver projects here are as much about logistics as design. Getting a skid steer into a narrow side yard between houses is not always possible, so some excavation and material moving happens with smaller equipment or by hand. The city also has zoning rules on setbacks and lot coverage, which can affect how large a patio or driveway expansion can be. Owners of 1920s Tudors and colonials in the older sections frequently want clay brick or tumbled pavers that fit the house, while newer rebuilt homes lean toward larger formats and outdoor kitchens.
