Everything you need to know about finding a stone paver supplier

The enormous range of stone pavers available makes it very easy for any home renovator to create stunning effects. If your project is focused on pathways, driveways, or larger areas, it should be relatively easy to find a large selection of flooring pavers to suit your purposes.

However, the addition of many ‘stack stone’ pavers into the ranges of many landscape and garden suppliers also makes it easy to create feature landscaping walls, stunning water features and other customised areas around the home.

By choosing the right style and texture of stone pavers, it’s possible to create brilliant finished effects.

Different Types of Stone Pavers

There is a massive selection of stone pavers available. Depending on your tastes and the finished effect you want to achieve, you should be able to find stone products in varying sizes, shapes, colours and thicknesses to suit a range of purposes.

The selections available should include:

• Bluestone pavers
• Sandstone pavers
• Natural stone pavers
• Cobblestone pavers
• Limestone pavers
• Slate Pavers
• Marble pavers
• Travertine pavers
• Stepping stone pavers
• Eco-stone pavers
• Crazy-paving
• Stack stone cladding

Choosing the Right Stone Pavers

When you’re choosing the type of stone you want to achieve your finished look for your project, be sure to consider all the alternatives available. Polished stone gives a stunningly formal appearance to indoor areas, while natural stone can look spectacular in outdoor entertaining areas.

In fact, it’s possible to create almost any effect you want to achieve using stone. The range of colours, styles, shades and effects is really only limited by your imagination.

Some of the potential uses for stone paving include:

• Natural stone finishes for patios, pathways or around pool areas
• Stone wall cladding for water features, columns, pillars or feature areas, such as fireplace walls
• Internal stone finish floor coverings

While most stone paving products should be suitable for around pool areas, it’s important to note that only slate pavers are considered non-slip.

DIY Stone Pavers

The increase in popularity of natural stone pavers has led suppliers to make DIY stone paving options available. This can be very handy for renovators, especially for those wanting to make use of the smaller stone pattern work, such as crazy pave or mosaic patterns, or even the fine stack stone finishes.

One of the biggest issues many DIY renovators face when working with stone is creating the rounded effect often seen on pool steps or landscaping stairs. There are many stone paving suppliers who are happy to hand-turn your stone for you to create the finished effect you desire. Be sure to check with your supplier before you start your project whether the stone product you’re working with is able to be turned this way, or it could alter the final finish you intended.

You may also find that some stone paving suppliers will already have a variety of bevelled or bull-nosed coping tiles available for use on steps, stairs or even swimming pools. Many of these will be available in similar stone finishes to the majority of paving products available.
