The Paver Selection Process

There are many things to consider when designing your paver project. After deciding on a plan that works for your home the next step is to decide on what paver is right for you. This can be the most difficult part when considering a new paver project. Everyone has different taste as well as how their brain works. Someone with a strong left brain will want a repeating pattern that has uniformity and symmetry. As opposed to a right brain which will like things more random and free form. One of the most popular paver patterns is the pattern K. The reason is this is a compromise between both sides. It has a random feel with a repetitive pattern. There is no right or wrong answer and all paver styles when complete look beautiful. The following is a list of things to help walk you through the decision making process.

Step 1: Select Paver Style (4x8, Appian, Tumbled, Serengeti, Halifax, etc. etc.)
- You may also need to consider the type of finish. Example: Tumbled or Appian

Step 2: Select Paver Pattern (Herringbone, Pattern K, Random etc. etc.)

Step 3: Select Paver Color (Chocolate/Tan Blend, Tan/Charcoal Blend etc. etc.)

Step 4: Select Border Style (6x6, 6x9, 4x8 Rowlock etc. etc.)

Step 5: Select Border Color or Finish ( Charcoal, Tumbled etc.) Click here


Most Popular Pattern: Appian Random

Tumbled Finish Appian w/ Circle Kit
4x8 Traditional 90 degree Herringbone



Paver Border Styles

A professionally installed paver installation can always be noticed by the installation of the border pavers. Without a nice border the customer is left with ugly cuts on the outside perimeter of the pavement system. These small pieces are also vulnerable to abuse, and will eventually come loose, further weakening the pavement system. Life Time Pavers provides a border system with every installation.
Things to consider when choosing a paver border:
  1. Would you like the border to be accented in a different color?
  2. Would you prefer a wider more noticeable border or small and inconspicuous?
  3. Would you prefer a tumbled finish border?
  4. A traditional 4x8 soldier course is one of the most popular border styles.
The Most Popular Border Styles:
  • Traditional 4x8 Soldier Course (Rowlock Border)
  • Traditional 4x8 Runner Border (Nose to Nose)
  • Appian 6x6 Border (Side by Side Squares)
  • Appian 6x9 Rowlock (Recs side by side)
  • Appian 6x9 Runner (Recs nose to nose)
