How to Choose the Right Stone Pavers
Posted on March 06, 2025 European Company
At the European Company, we know that choosing the right stone pavers is about more than just looks—it’s about durability, function, and how the material fits into your overall design. Whether you're upgrading a patio, designing a walkway, or adding texture to an indoor space, selecting the best stone pavers will ensure long-lasting beauty and performance.
Step 1: Define the Purpose of Your Project
Different projects require different types of stone pavers. Here’s what we recommend:
Driveways: Opt for thick, durable pavers that can handle heavy loads.
Patios & Walkways: Choose a comfortable, slip-resistant surface.
Pool Decks: Go for non-slip materials that stay cool in the sun.
Indoor Spaces: Smooth, refined stone finishes work best for easy maintenance.
Step 2: Consider the Climate
The climate in your region plays a major role in choosing the right pavers:
Cold Climates: Freeze-resistant stones like granite or bluestone hold up best.
Hot Climates: Lighter-colored stones such as limestone or travertine help reflect heat.
Rain-Prone Areas: Textured, non-slip surfaces add safety and prevent slipping.
Step 3: Choose the Right Stone Type
At The European Company, we offer a variety of high-quality stone pavers suited for different applications:
Limestone: A classic, natural look with a softer texture.
Travertine: A top choice for pool decks thanks to its serene aesthetic.
Tundra Grey: Perfect for modern patios, chic walkways, and stylish poolside areas.
Bilecik Beige: A more exotic option that brings a touch of sophistication.
Step 4: Select the Right Color & Finish
The finish and color of your stone pavers can impact the overall feel of your space. Consider:
Honed vs. Tumbled: Tumbled pavers have a weathered look, while honed pavers create a more clean and modern aesthetic.
Light vs. Dark Tones: Lighter stones can make spaces feel larger, while darker shades create depth and contrast.
Step 5: Plan for Installation & Maintenance
Some stone pavers require sealing to prevent stains and moisture absorption.
Installation methods vary—dry-laid pavers are easy to repair, while mortared pavers offer a more permanent surface.
Regular cleaning with water and mild soap helps keep stone pavers in great condition.
