Natural Stone Pavers

Naturally occurring stone pavers are mined from quarries, or collected from a rock outcrop. Because they are not manufactured, as concrete and brick pavers are, stone pavers have different qualities than concrete and brick and are often more expensive than their manufactured cousins. But, they are still the most popular choice for all external paving needs. This is due to their enormous variations in color, texture, shapes and natural beauty. Common natural stone pavers include limestone, sandstone, cobblestone, slate, granite, flagstone, porphyry, marble, and cantera.

Stone Paver Applications

Pavers made of stone add value to the home in nearly limitless applications for driveways, pool areas, patios, courtyards, sidewalks, barbeque areas, pathways and garden beds. Natural stone may be finished by being polished, honed, flamed or thermal flamed. Your installer will explain these technical terms.

These qualities make them especially good for driveways, walkways, and pool areas. The use of a sealant is advisable to protect the color in high traffic areas.

The main benefits of stone pavers are their strength and durability. They hold the enormous weight required of a driveway and high traffic area.

They also can withstand virtually any weather conditions, and are non-slip, freeze and thaw-resistant, frost free, sun resistant, and provide for simple snow removal.
