The first thing you have to decide upon after choosing the stone as your building block of choice is what kind of rock or concrete is going to be the most effective for your particular project.

Below is a list of common paving projects and the best choices for their particular end use.

Driveway – driveways should all begin with a good base typically composed from compacted sand and gravel. On top of this the following are what we recommend for smart and robust driveways; cobblestone, concrete, and brick are all great options. The thicker the material the better as cars will be traversing this space on a daily basis. Stone will last the longest and is the option of choice.
Patios for entertaining – Most patio areas only have to endure foot traffic so they don’t have to be too thick, you will want a design with a textured surface to prevent any slippage. Budget is the main factor here as most of your choices will be suitable. Brick’s ability to adapt with the moving of your soil gives it the edge.
Pools – Pool remodeling just like the patio should be textured to take into account all of the water that is going to be flying around the area and they will also only have to endure foot traffic. There are great options depending on your budget in stone, concrete, and brick. Concrete is the winner here.
