The Buyer’s Guide to Pavers

Everyone loves the look and low maintenance of paver stones. Whether your patio, walkway, pool surround or even driveway, there is always a paver product out there that will most certainly do the job and make it look spectacular. At Classic Home Exteriors we’ve done numerous paver projects throughout the Escondido area and our clients are always thrilled with the results.

Probably one of the most difficult parts of the process is selecting the actual pavers that you will use. Which paver is right for your job will depend on such factors as use, budget, style preference and availability. Her are a few tips for buying the right pavers for the right job!

 

Color: With so many colors available, you want to consider what would look best as far as accenting your outdoor space. From greys and earth tones, to burgundies and colors closer to natural brick or cobblestone, the options are nearly endless. You really can use your imagination when it comes to dreaming up that perfect hardscape color scheme!

Pattern/Design: Pavers come in a variety of sizes and shapes which means that as far as the overall pattern and design go, you have a great deal of flexibility. We’ve done more traditional brick designs, as well as more intricate projects which utilized repeating patterns throughout the course of the patio or walkway.

Thickness: Now depending on where and what function your pavers will have, you definitely want to pay attention to thickness. More trafficked areas may require a heavier paver stone. Not sure which you should get, no problem, that’s what our experienced professionals are here to help you with!

Price: What’s your budget? You want to determine this before you go paver shopping. Prices can range from as little as .50 per piece all the way to $6.00-7.00 per piece. Quite a difference!
