Types of Paving Stones
There are essentially two types of stone pavers. These are natural and manufactured. Natural paving stones include:
- Bluestone: It is made up of sand and various particles. It is called so because its hue is bluish-gray. It is ideal in applications such as driveways and patios.
- Granite: it is strong and long-lasting. It is usually used in the installation of courtyards, patios, and decks.
- Sandstone: It is functionally used as a veneer material and also in courtyards and verandas.
- Cobblestone: These ones evoke an old school feeling.
- Flagstone: They are ideal in yards that are constantly exposed to sunlight because they are durable and do not absorb heat.
On the other hand, manufactured paving stones look like natural paving stones hence your installations will look like they are made of natural paver stone but you will incur less cost. These paving stones from masonry contractors can also last for many years and are thus value- for- money. They provide beauty in various utilities.
