🌿 How to Choose the Right Pavers for Your Outdoor Space

A paver patio, driveway, or walkway can completely transform your outdoor space—adding beauty, durability, and value to your home. But with so many materials, styles, and installation methods available, choosing the right pavers can feel overwhelming. At IGL, we’ve helped countless homeowners select the perfect pavers for their spaces. Here’s your guide to making the best choice.

1. Consider the Function of Your Space

The first step is understanding how your pavers will be used.

Driveways: Need thick, durable pavers that can withstand vehicle weight.
Walkways/Paths: Slightly thinner pavers are fine, but slip-resistance is important.
Patios & Entertainment Areas: Focus on style, comfort, and smooth surfaces for furniture.

2. Choose the Right Material

Pavers come in a variety of materials, each with its benefits:

Concrete: Affordable, versatile, and available in many shapes and colors.
Brick: Classic look, durable, and naturally slip-resistant.
Natural Stone (flagstone, granite, slate): High-end appearance, long-lasting, unique textures.
Permeable Pavers: Eco-friendly choice that allows water to drain through, reducing runoff.

3. Think About Style and Color

Your paver choice should complement your home and landscape:

Colors: Neutral tones blend with most surroundings; bold colors create a statement.
Patterns: Herringbone, basket weave, running bond, or random layouts can completely change the look.
Texture: Smooth, tumbled, or rough surfaces impact comfort, traction, and aesthetics.

4. Consider Maintenance and Longevity

Different pavers have different upkeep needs:

Concrete: Low maintenance but may stain over time.
Brick: Can require occasional sealing or cleaning.
Natural Stone: Often more durable but may need periodic sealing.
Permeable Pavers: Require occasional joint cleaning to maintain drainage.

5. Budget vs. Value

While budget is important, think long-term. Investing in quality materials and professional installation often saves money on repairs and replacements in the future.

6. Work With a Professional

Choosing pavers isn’t just about looks—it’s about ensuring proper installation for durability and function. At IGL, we handle everything from design to installation, ensuring your pavers look beautiful and last for years.
