Popular Paver Materials

Paving is an investment in the landscape, and the price varies greatly depending on the kind chosen and how easily accessible it is. The cheapest and easiest to install choice for paving is typically cast-in-place concrete; however, people living in locally available stone, such as limestone or slate, can use that stone for a lower cost.

Types of Paver Materials

The most popular pavement materials are listed below. They can help you comprehend the fundamentals of paving so you can make an informed choice depending on your circumstances and where you live if you will be repaving or installing new surface.

Concrete Pavers

Since concrete pavers are inexpensive, simple to set up, and require little in the way of upkeep, they have become the standard. Experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to give the surface an interesting appearance. Modular pavers made of precast concrete come in an overwhelming array of sizes, forms, hues, finishes, and designs. Those who desire a unique aesthetic but don't want to spend money on natural stone can choose precast concrete pavers. There are modular permeable solutions for roads, walks, and patios that absorb water rather than cause runoff.

Brick Pavers

Herringbone is one of the many fascinating designs that can be created with brick in the typical 4-inch-by-8-inch size without being overly busy, and the brick's reddish tones warm the garden. Because of its compatibility with a wide variety of other hardscapes, brick is frequently utilized in conjunction with other paving materials and wood decks. You can use brick pavers along with concrete or natural stone units to create a unique look in the landscape.

Limestone Pavers

In warmer climates, limestone is excellent for reflecting heat. The typical color range for limestone is from white to off-white, with occasional greyish-white inclusions. Its light hues are ideal for sunny locations due to its ability to deflect the sun's rays. It also adds a welcome radiance to shady garden spots, making even the darkest corners more bearable. You can opt for natural limestone pavers for pool decks and other areas.

Travertine Pavers

Travertine pavers are ideal for pool decks. Compared to limestone, travertine is more rigid and less porous, making maintenance considerably simpler. This material maintains its coolness and is perfect for bare feet by the pool.

Granite Pavers

A superior durable stone that's ideal in chilly areas. Granite is pricey, but since it lasts for a lifetime, you may find the investment worthwhile. It's also a locally sourced, sustainable building resource.

Slate Pavers

Slate is deeply colored and excellent for chilly areas, and it comes in a wide range of shades, from deep black to jade green, and has a dark, rich color. Slate is resistant to the coldest temperatures and performs wonderfully during the freeze-thaw cycle.
