More Pavers!

Our last entry on "how we build your dream home" was about driveways and pavers.  I couldn't pass up posting some beautiful pictures taken of a home finished a few months ago with exquisite paver stones used in the front, back and poolside!  Pavers add color, texture and add a touch of warmth no matter where you place them! We would love to build your dream home too!  For more information, visit us at http://www.mddhomes.com/ or call Lori at 858-431-9622!
