As spring takes full effect, you may find yourself contemplating the installation of new pavers. Perhaps you have finally decided it is time for that new patio. Those old pavers that came with your home just may not be in tune with your landscaping dreams. On the other hand, maybe it is just time to stop battling damages and you want to start fresh. Regardless of the reason, if you are thinking about installing a new paver feature, your first question may be related to what options there are.
- Brick
Brick pavers are typically used to give you that classic look. They come with ample options, which include a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and finishes. Brick pavers are certainly strong enough to hold up to heavy foot traffic too. However, because they are smaller than most other paver options, brick can be slightly more expensive to install. After all, smaller pieces means more work and more materials needed to install.
- Concrete
Concrete has become a popular option because of its strength, long lifespan and almost limitless finishes. Concrete can be stamped to resemble almost any other type of paver, including brick, flagstone and other decorative patterns you may like. Concrete can also be brushed, stained, acid washed, scored, and stamped to meet individual tastes. Concrete is strong enough for use even on driveways and can last up to 50 years if properly cared for. Additionally, concrete provides an inexpensive option when compared to several other pavers choices. If you want interlocking concrete pavers, these are easy to install yourself and come in so many options we can’t even name them all here!
- Rubber
Rubber tiles are relatively new to the market. They are typically made from recycled tires and are growing in popularity among those who are “green” conscious. They are extremely lightweight. Rubber tiles can resemble concrete, brick or terra cotta at present. Rubber tiles are only available for do-it-yourself (DIY) applications. They provide great coverage for damaged areas at inexpensive prices.
- Stone
Stone, in general, can be used for pavers. However, the most common types are flagstone, slate, sandstone, limestone, granite or marble. They can come in industry standard modular shapes. Stone pavers can also come as uncut units with rough, irregular shapes and sizes that have to custom fit together. Stone can be rather expensive. Your best cost-savings strategy is to source stone pavers from locally operated quarries if possible.
