Patio Pavers
Pavers built for the ground outside: travertine, marble, limestone and 2cm porcelain, in 16x24 and 24x24 formats plus French pattern sets that mix four sizes in one repeat. Most of the range sits between $6 and $12 per square foot.
Thickness is what separates a paver from a tile. These are cut thick enough to sit on sand, gravel or pedestals and to survive freeze and thaw. The surfaces are deliberately rough: tumbled, sandblasted, brushed or textured, so they stay grippy in the rain.
Travertine is the classic patio and pool deck stone because it stays cool underfoot in full sun. Porcelain pavers cost a little more up front but never need sealing and will not stain from planters or barbecue grease.
