A Guide to Pavers

With people spending more time outdoors this year, many clients have come to us asking about how to enhance their outdoor living space. One of the best ways to transform the look and feel of a property is to add a new paved surface, whether that means a patio, walkway, or driveway. When properly installed, pavers are extremely low-maintenance and can be arranged in a huge array of patterns to suit any style. Not sure what type of pavers to use in your Stafford landscaping and hardscaping? This week, Leary’s Landscaping explains the different types of pavers available.

Types of Pavers

Pavers can be made out of various materials, and different types of pavers will have different ideal uses. Let’s look at some different types of pavers and understand how they differ from each other.

Natural Stone

Natural stone like slate, travertine, flagstone, and limestone is ideal for heavy-duty paver applications. Stone pavers blend in seamlessly with the environment and will last a lifetime with proper installation and maintenance.

Concrete

Concrete is the most common paver material. Far from the gray, boring material that may come to mind when you think of concrete, concrete pavers can be made in almost any color and can also be engraved or stamped for the ultimate personalization. They are highly durable and easy to maintain.

Brick

Brick pavers offer a timeless, rustic look and can be laid in a wide range of classic patterns, such as stacked, herringbone, and basketweave patterns.

Porcelain

Porcelain pavers are becoming more popular. One thing that makes them stand out is that they are available in a range of lighter colors like white, tan, and beige. They won’t fade and are highly durable.
