Key takeaways
- Brick is warm, classic and uniform, and it suits houses with brick already.
- Natural stone is irregular and rich, and every piece is different.
- Concrete pavers come in the widest range of colors and shapes and can be repaired in sections.
- The base underneath matters more than the surface on top.
All three can make a beautiful, long-lasting patio, wall or walkway. The right choice depends on your house, your taste and your site.
Brick
Clay brick has a warm, traditional look and stays cooler underfoot than many surfaces. It suits houses with brick on the front, and it ages gracefully.
Natural stone
Limestone, bluestone and flagstone give an informal, natural character. Every stone is different, so layouts take more time and craft.
Concrete pavers
Pavers lock together and come in many colors, shapes and textures. They can be lifted and re-laid if a utility ever has to be reached.
What matters most
- The base: compacted stone and good drainage keep any surface flat.
- Edges: restraints keep the border from drifting.
- Joints: the right sand or mortar keeps weeds and water out.
