When you want a patio, your two basic options are pavers or natural stone. Most people are familiar with pavers, but they may not be as familiar with natural stone and the various options.

The key benefits of natural stone include:

Strength – Natural stone doesn’t deteriorate. Period. It will last, and may even improve over time. Also, the color of natural stone doesn’t fade over time. The color that you see when you install the stone will be the same color years from now.

Low Maintenance – Unlike pavers, natural stone requires much less maintenance. You also don’t have to worry about staining. Natural stone doesn’t absorb stains the way concrete pavers might.

Weather resistant – Snow, ice, and sun don’t damage or wear away at natural stone. Also, a natural stone patio in the sun won’t get scorching hot the way a concrete paver patio might.

There are also many different subtypes within the category of natural stone, including: flagstone, slate, bluestone and limestone. Check out this webpage for more information on the different types of natural stone.
