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.
