Whether you want a modern porcelain patio, a timeless bluestone walkway, or a durable paver driveway, this blog breaks it all down in a way that’s easy, helpful, and written specifically for NJ homes and weather.
What Are Pavers? (Easy Explanation for Homeowners)
Pavers are individual pieces — usually stone, concrete, or porcelain — used to create patios, walkways, and pool decks. They’re more durable than poured concrete and offer way more design options.
Most popular types of pavers in New Jersey:
Concrete pavers (Cambridge, Techo-Bloc, Unilock)
Bluestone (natural, high-end, perfect for walkways + patios)
Porcelain pavers (luxury, low-maintenance, modern look)
Travertine (beautiful around pools)
Granite & flagstone (natural stone options)
Pavers are loved because:
They don’t crack like concrete
They’re easy to repair (replace 1 piece instead of ripping out concrete)
They come in hundreds of colors + textures
They instantly upgrade curb appeal and home value
