Concrete

If you need an inexpensive option, you may want to choose concrete. It is also a good option for a wide range of projects. With its various applications, it is a good choice for remodeling your home. Concrete can be bought in a wide range of colors or dyed to meet the property owner’s color preference. You can also stamp or stencil concrete to achieve that custom appearance. However, one of the downsides of concrete is that it doesn’t last as long as other types of stones.

Sandstone

This material is usually soft and very easy to work with. This is why it is a popular paving option. Since it’s a sedimentary rock made of a buildup of eroded quartz and feldspar particles. Sandstone is used as a paving option for verandas and courtyards.

Slate

This is a great option when it comes to paving patios as it is durable. It is also slip-resistant and is, therefore, a great choice for houses with kids who play in the interior or exterior of the home. Slate is also preferred in high traffic areas as its durable. It is also heat resistant and can withstand food and drink spills.

Bluestone

This natural product is usually dug from quarries. This means that it is available in different colors, depending on the area where it was dug. Bluestone that is gotten the quarry’s deep area often comes in intricate patterns and rich colors. Bluestone tends to be naturally porous and can absorb water a few years down the line. When it is used as a paving stone, it is commonly covered using a protective sealer. This sealer also offers protection from scratches, stains, and dirt.

Limestone

This material is a common site in different areas of the home, such as driveways, walkways, and even pool decks. The limestone is obtained from sea beds in countries like Mexico and Italy and can also be found inside caves. It’s available in a wide range of colors such as pale orange, beige, and green. Custom shapes can also be used to create limestone pavers.

Granite Pavers

These stones are usually stress-resistant and can last in areas with high traffic such as those used by trucks, bicycles, and cars. This makes them a great choice for areas such as a driveway. Granites have been used as a paving stone in roadways and ancient structures. It doesn’t require a lot of maintenance and is, therefore, resistant to heat. This makes it a great choice for the pool area.
