Patio Stones
Hardscaping defines your backyard space, assigning areas for dining, walking, gardening and more. When it comes to creating a stellar patio, look for a variety of patio stones — including pavers, wall stones and edging — to create an integrated look.
Paving Stones
Paving stones (a.k.a. pave stones and pavers) are the patio stone you’ll be using in the greatest quantity. They’re available in a variety of shapes, textures, sizes and colours, mimicking brick, cobblestone, tile and other looks. When choosing pavers, consider aesthetics, durability and maintenance needs. Here’s how the most common materials compare.
TIP: When buying pavers, account for cuts and waste. It’s a good idea to buy 5% more than your calculations require.
Additional Pave Stone Materials
Give your pave stones a stable, well-drained foundation, and you’ll have a beautiful patio for decades to come. Here are the three materials you will need to lay that firm foundation.
Additional Patio Planning Tips
Check local building codes or homeowners’ association regulations for any restrictions, necessary permits or requirements before building a patio.
