North Port was laid out on a grand grid — long, straight streets running out through pine flatwoods toward Myakkahatchee Creek and the waterways that thread the city. Nexelite Pavers and Landscaping works where those streets meet the front door: paver walkways, patios and driveways set in crisp patterns, plus the landscaping that softens them into a yard. Each paver is laid to the line and locked against its neighbors so the pattern runs true from curb to step. Beds and plantings are shaped around the stonework, so green and stone read as one idea rather than two. In March, when the air is warm and dry and the city hums with spring training at the ballpark in the West Villages, a finished patio quickly becomes the favorite place to sit of an evening.
