Juniper Landscape Company in San Diego is happy to work with you on any type of paver installation and make recommendations based on your yard, landscape and budget.
Brick
Brick pavers offer a classic and elegant look. Bricks are easy to lay in a variety of intricate patterns and offer a lot character. For heavy traffic areas, brick is excellent for its durability. Even over time, worn brick only increases in character and visual appeal. Brick is available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Brick can be slightly more expensive than some other paver options, but may be worth it for the long-term durability and classic look it offers.
Concrete
Concrete is extremely versatile and is available in a wide array of colors and finishes, including pressed patterns to imitate stone or brick or even an acid wash to add visual interest. Concrete is also durable, and is relatively inexpensive to install. Even specialized concrete, such as a stamped design or color addition, is usually less expensive than many other paver options.
Rubber Tiles
This fairly new options is made from recycled tires. These versatile “tiles” are designed to cover any surface. Though they may look like concrete, brick, or terra cotta, these tiles are actually extremely lightweight. Because this is such a new product, their durability has yet to be tested.
Stone Tiles
Stone is a natural and durable option for pavers. Virtually any stone can serve as a paver, though most are sandstone, slate, granite, or limestone. Stone pavers are typically cut into standard sizes, though special cuts could be ordered. Uncut pavers are also an option, and come in rough and irregular shapes and sizes. Stone can be expensive, however, so consider your options carefully.
There are many options when it comes to choosing a paver for your patio or walkway. You are not limited to just one type! Consider mixing and matching types, such as brick with a stone trim to create a custom and unique look.
