Whether you’re installing a new pool deck, patio, walkway, or driveway, pavers are an excellent choice. They create a finished look like no other landscaping material can. They’re also very durable and come in a wide variety of colors and styles.


However, while pavers are certainly the best choice for your hardscaping needs, choosing the best option can be tough. Below, we share some valuable tips that can help you choose the best pavers for your landscape.


Choosing the Perfect Pavers for Landscaping


Consider the Location


The location of the pavers is an important consideration. If the area will be exposed to a lot of water and drainage is an issue, a permeable material is your best bet. Why? – Because water can flow through permeable pavers, which can minimize drainage problems.


Think About the Texture


Smooth, embossed, weathered; these are just some of the textures that patio pavers come in. The texture has a direct effect on the look and feel of the texture. It can also make the difference between a slippery surface and one that is slip-proof. If you’re installing pavers around a pool deck, consider choosing pavers with an embossed texture to prevent slips and falls; however, if you’re going for a sleek design in an area where slippage isn’t a concern, pavers with a smooth surface could be a good choice for you.


Choose a Color


Pavers come in so many different colors, including brown, tan, gray, and even red. When selecting a color, consider the look you are trying to achieve. If you want a streamlined look, consider a color that matches the exterior of your home. Want to make a bold statement, opt for a hue that is completely different than the color scheme of your façade. If you’d like your pavers to stand out, yet still tie into the look of your house, choose a paver that matches a standout feature of your home, such as the roof or the shutters.
