The first thing that friends or visitors will notice when they walk up to your front door is your walkway. What better reason is there to invest in new walkway pavers to spruce up your home?
When deciding which walkway pavers to purchase, it’s important to consider which ones will complement your home and not distract from it.
Here’s a quick rundown of the different types of walkway pavers you may choose:
- Concrete – These are man-made and come in the widest variety of shapes and colors. They’re the most affordable option, if price is your main concern.
- Interlocking Concrete – These pavers are made of colored cement and keep grass and weeds from sprouting up in your walkway.
- Tumbled – Tumbled pavers are made to have different corners and edges for a naturally aged look.
- Brick –– They’re most commonly used for traditional and formal walkways because of their durability.
- Slate – Slate pavers look charming and cozy laid in irregular pieces for a cottage. They don’t absorb water and aren’t damaged by the sun.
- Stone – There are lots of types of stone walkway pavers. Bluestone pavers are made of sandstone and come in shades of blue, grey, and brown. Flagstone is another popular option sold in smaller slabs than bluestone. It has more colors, including purple and green.
If you can’t choose between the different options, why not mix brick and slate walkway pavers for a lovely worn look? On the other hand, concrete is the common choice for many homeowners. Talk to your contractor about the different options available and the benefits of each so that you’re sure you’re making the best choice for your property and your needs.
