What sizes of pavers are offered?

Using multiple sizes, shapes and colors really help bring your hardscape project to life. Check out this paver patio completed using Techo Bloc, Brick and Turf.

Textured pavers are perfect for adding flair to your driveway design. Here at American Paving Design we offer numerous paver styles and material types to make your driveway the envy of the neighborhood!

Combing paver sizes and borders can put an unique spin on your paver project. Here we combined a normal three piece paver with a traditional 4x8 border.

Concrete pavers are fantastic because they are available in a wide range of sizes, from 1" pavers to 36" slabs. Additionally, they come in geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles. All of this gives you the chance to express your creativity through your outdoor patio projects, but the variety may be both daunting and inspiring.

Here are some things to think about while trying to decide on paver sizes and shapes:

Your design choices are impacted by the size of the pavers.

If your patio area is on the small side, you probably want it to be cozy and intimate. Smaller pavers are typically the greatest option for this kind of look.

Large format slabs provide outdoor spaces a simple, classy look. Because they have fewer joints to break up the line, their wide, broad form tends to enlarge an area.

Multiple pavers of various sizes can be laid in a pattern that resembles random placement as an alternative to established designs. This gives off a genuine, organic look that is ideal for rustic settings like those seen around a bonfire outside.

Additionally, consider your home's architectural style. The smaller cobblestone and brick pavers are a good compliment to traditional-style homes. On the other hand, the sleek design of large format pavers ideally complements contemporary-style residences with clean lines and a minimalistic appearance.

The form of objects

Once you've chosen a size (or sizes), you can choose from square, rectangular, or geometric patio pavement shapes.

Patio pavers with a rectangular shape let you experiment with patterns and shapes. Rectangular patio pavers can be used to highlight your project or separate distinct living zones in your outdoor rooms by laying them along walks, driveways, and borders. It is simpler to design circular patterns and curving walks with smaller rectangular pavers.

On the other hand, square patio pavers offer a simple canvas for combining various colors and even patterns. Even better, scatter the paving stones and fill in the gaps with pebbles, grass, or other ground cover.

How about geometrical forms? Patios and walkways outside often include pavers in the six-sided hexagonal design. Instead of clipping the pavers to create a straight line on the edge of your project, leave them entire for an unusual appearance.

Play with a variety of pavers in various sizes, colors, styles, and textures to give your outdoor patio a distinctive look and feel. Combine and contrast them to make unique patterns that are not only eye-catching but also cover up stains and blemishes.

Laying Pavers

Large and tiny pavers both have benefits when it comes to installation. Small pavers can be put quite rapidly by an experienced workforce because they don't require heavy lifting. However, when using smaller paving stones, careful planning and attention to detail are essential. Errors are easier to spot when you are making recurring patterns.

Larger pavers cover more ground, thus technically there is less labor and setup time required. Keep in mind that huge paving slabs are more prone to crack under the weight of passing cars if you use them for your driveway. By carefully laying out your pavers and base layers and selecting the thickest pavers available for your project, you can lower your likelihood of cracks.
