Concrete pavers are the next alternative in the patio paving cost spectrum. The cost of patio pavers varies greatly because it depends on the quality of the paver material.
Concrete, Brick or Natural Stone Patio Pavers
Concrete pavers cost less than brick pavers and natural stone pavers because the cost of the raw materials to manufacture concrete pavers is much less than brick or natural stone pavers. If you are on a moderate budget consider concrete patio pavers for value. If you have a higher budget go for brick or natural stone pavers.
The Versatility of Patio Pavers
Due to the availability of various shapes, colors, and sizes of patio pavers, they have become one of the most versatile paving materials available today. Additionally, the combination of slip resistance and attractive finishes has aided their popularity to what they are today.
In choosing the floor material for a patio, one must be careful to properly consider the safety, comfort, style and design issues of the patio surface. Patio pavers address all these factors because they have a non-slip surface, they are comfortable to walk on, and they have a classical appearance and can be designed in a variety of patterns, shapes and colors.
What Are Patio Pavers?
“Patio pavers” is a generic term given to describe any regular type of paver that is specifically used for the construction of an outdoor patio deck.
Patios are constructed primarily for the enjoyment of outdoor living spaces.

Each of the above paver groups has a multitude of paver products that are manufactured in an endless selection of colors, shapes, patterns and sizes that would be suited for patio paving applications. Therefore, just about any type of pavers can be used for building a patio. In essence, any regular paver product can be used to make a patio.
PATTERNS and DESIGNS
When it comes to installing your chosen Patio Pavers, there is a variety of patterns and designs to consider.
The Basket-Weave pattern is suitable for casual applications. This pattern is often used with another type of design, or it can be used alone. Pavers are laid vertically and horizontally in pairs.
This is a popular and sometimes difficult design to install, where pavers are laid in a circle design, creating the curves can be challenging. This design brings a pattern of gentle arches, and is generally applied to walkways and driveways also.
This design involves the use of about four different sizes of pavers for the one application, creating a bold effect. It is also used for walkways and driveways.This design involves the use of about three to four different shaped pavers, often used for borders, the Circle design and the Fan design.
Paving your patio is a great way to improve the look of your entertaining area. There are a vast variety of shapes, patterns, and colors available. Man made products such as precast concrete pavers, concrete pavers, brick pavers, and clay pavers are all commonly used on patio applications. Natural stones such as sandstone, flagstone, limestone and river rocks can also be used on your patio.
When paving your patio, a couple of colors can also be used in the one area. This is called color blending. Color blending can help break up large areas where one color gets boring and continuous.
Two colors can also be used to create your own exclusive paved patio area. Color blending can also be used to help beautify the surroundings of your garden or home.
Some of the benefits of using concrete pavers are design flexibility, variety of shapes and colors,strength and durability, easy repair and maintenance, snow friendly and weather resistance as well as safety and cost effeciency
