Choosing Materials For Your Patio<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s time to pick out pavers! A quick look at a manufacturer’s website or flip through a catalog might make your head spin because of the available options. Let’s narrow it down to keep the process fun and eliminate overwhelm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Basic Paver shapes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From what I have seen, there are three main categories that we can use to describe available pavers styles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rectangular<\/strong> – Starting with the most basic Holland style 4″x 8″ paver up to elongated plank styles, this will give you a uniform look for the patio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Piece Set<\/strong> – This is usually a combination of a small rectangle, a large rectangle and a square. This will give you a more random look for the pavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique Offerings<\/strong> – Occasionally you’ll find shapes like hexagons, diamonds and triangles if you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paver styles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you’re not looking for a certain shape of paver, but you have a certain style in mind. There are plenty of options for the following aesthetics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weathered\/Old World Look<\/strong> – Some pavers are tumbled to have that aged appearance while others have been cast from molds to replicate older materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard\/Traditional<\/strong> – Usually these have a mild surface texture and a blend of colors on the surface. These are generally the most common and universal fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern<\/strong> – These offer crisp lines, usually smooth textures and flat or single color surfaces. Some pavers even offer unique brushed or more raw-looking surfaces (think industrial). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Paver Style Affect Price?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the size and shape of a patio, paver style has less affect on price. There is a wide range of price points depending on the style, however it’s important to know that the pavers themselves are only 20% of the cost of a project. The excavation and base preparation accounts for 80% of the project cost. The process for installation remains the same across different paver styles. Generally speaking, the standard\/traditional styles of pavers are the most economical while the more modern and weathered\/old world styles of pavers are mid to higher range in price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
