• What design options do I have for my paving stone patio?

  Pavers come in a wide array of shapes, colors, sizes, and styles. This makes your paver patio design options nearly limitless! From sleek modern bluestone patios to rustic natural rock or a paving stone and lawn combo, your patio's look can be personalized by using different paving stone types to create borders, patterns, edging, and inlay designs.

• How much do patio pavers cost?

  One of the best things about patio paving stones is the wide variety of shapes, colors, textures, and styles they come in. When it comes to a patio versus a deck, both are useful additions but they are made of different materials and designed for different spaces. A paving stone patio is a great low-maintenance option for any homeowner looking to transform their yard. However, the many customization options also makes putting a patio paver price per square foot on them nearly impossible.

• What kind of maintenance do patio pavers require?

  Outdoor pavers for your patio are a low-maintenance backyard solution. They require a very small amount of simple upkeep, including: • Sweeping and hosing down: Give your pavers an occasional sweep and spray them down with a hose to prevent grime from building up and damaging their surface. • Annual pressure washing: Each year, it’s a good idea to pressure wash your patio pavers. It can remove stubborn build-up and restore them to their original look. Resealing: Every 3-5 years, we recommend applying a sealant to your pavers for your patio. Not only does this help protect the surface of your pavers, but it gives them a fresh shine, too.
