Paver Walkway Ideas

Brick Pavers

• Using brick pavers for your walkway allows you to explore a wide variety of options when choosing your pavers and their settings. You can select brick pavers in a variety of colors, from various shades of reds and browns to yellows and natural colors. Brick pavers come in a range of patterns and shapes which you can insert into your walkway for decoration. You can lay out your own brick paver pattern for your walkway as well, mixing and matching colors and angles to create a unique walkway. Professionals suggest cleaning and sealing brick pavers regularly to keep them clean and in good shape.

Cobblestone Pavers

• For an old-world look, choose a walkway paved with cobblestones. Cobblestones come in various shapes, including squares, rectangles, rectangles with rounded edges, and octagons. The small size of cobblestone pavers allows you to create elaborate patterns along your walkway, including mosaic-like designs that let you mix the cobblestone colors. Cobblestone manufacturers make cobblestones for pavements from natural materials and many people appreciate their durability and resilience to all types of weather.

Flagstone Pavers

• Homeowners who like a natural look may appreciate a flagstone walkway. Flagstones provide a durable and low-maintenance walkway that does not absorb heat. Flagstones also offer easy installation as you can install them directly on the ground, on concrete or on a bed of sand. Although flagstones cost more than other types of pavers due to the necessity to quarry them, many people choose to pave a walkway with flagstone because of the choices available in flagstone -- including slate, bluestone and quartzite.

Granite

• For a modern look, choose granite pavers whose material will give you a hard and durable walkway. The four grades of granite pavers allow you to choose the level of aesthetics that you want when planning your walkway. Granite varies in color, texture and structure, so you can choose the category of granite that you want to suit your taste and budget.
