Types of Materials Used for a Paver Walkway
When it comes to the types of materials used for a paver walkway, there are three common ones to choose from:
Concrete: This material is made of molded concrete mixed with aggregate and is often available in many different colors and styles with interlocking patterns. In order to retain color, the concrete must be sealed. It is a very durable and strong material that lasts a long time after installation.
Brick: Bricks for pavers are typically made of clay or concrete, then dyed to look like a brick. This is a very strong and stain resistant option. And sealants can help to prevent fading, but a variety of colors can be used when installed.
Natural stone: The most expensive option of the three, but it is well worth the price point if you can afford it. Some of the more common types of natural stone include flagstone and fieldstone. Limestone is the strongest type of natural stone on the market and is often the choice for edging. However, it can break under pressure, so it is not ideal for high-traffic areas. Be sure to know exactly where you are placing this stone and how it will be used in order to get the most out of it.
Each of these materials comes with various benefits, styles, and colors. When you opt for a paver walkway, we will go over these materials with you to help you choose the one that is best.

Many different colors, textures, and sizes are available with natural stone, which allows us to create a unique and natural appearance after installation.
