Patio pavers come in a wonderful array of styles and colors to help bring your hardscape design vision to beautiful life. Highly versatile, pavers construct walkways, fire pit areas, and decorative property features in addition to patios. If you outdoor project calls for patio pavers, use these tips to pick the perfect ones for your landscaping needs.

How to Find the Right Patio Pavers

1. Usage

Your first consideration is how you will use them. New patio construction, for example, calls for smooth, easy-to-walk-on options that can also stand up to foot traffic, outdoor furniture and equipment, and anything else you plan to place on the pavers, such as heavy planters. Textured ones, in contrast, work well as decorative pieces around or within a flower garden.

2. Color

The selected color should complement your home and outdoor space, not clash with it. Earth tones, such as sandstone and gray, remain favorite options because of their neutrality. Choosing two complementary colors is popular because it adds to the uniqueness of the space. Keep in mind dark colors will make your space appear smaller due to sunlight absorption.

3. Style

Patio pavers come in a wide range of styles so you can easily pick what works best for your outdoor space. Tumbled pavers, for example, feature uneven edges, while non-tumbled options provide the clean lines many homeowners desire to complete a modern look. Pattern is another style consideration and includes cottage and herringbone possibilities. Cottage designs create woven-basket-like patterns, while herringbone results in zigzag patterns.

4. Climate

Another consideration is your climate. Permeable options are best for climates with heavy rain because they reduce runoff and therefore help with drainage. Brick and limestone break down quicker in regions featuring extreme heat or serious rain, but they require replacing every year or two to maintain the look of your yard.
