I like the look of pavers/bricks/stone, but you will need to resign yourself to doing a fair amount of weeding. You can often get bricks for free on Craigs List or by visiting a site where a building is being torn down. Concrete is less labor intensive, but is pricey.
concrete is labor intensive as are pavers however concrete will cost less and you can make to look like stones with moulds and cement coloring.
Look for sale on pavers it's better in the eyes and less expensive. If swing is for children you can section off the swing with edgers then fill with sand so no one gets hurt. For privacy, I bought those wooden trellis' and treated it then I bought four wooden posts from nursery (they're pretty cheap, too), treated them, sawed off the points, dug holes to secure them, poured cement (small bag is cheap), let cement dry then fill it with soil and viola!
Sounds awesome, thank you so much.
