Video: Choosing the Right Pavers

SANTA ROSA — Host, Sarah Rutan: When preparing for a paver installation, make sure the pavers’ style fits your property’s aesthetic character. Today we’re in Santa Rosa with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Stan Jonah of The Legacy Paver Group to learn more.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Stan Jonah: What I’d like to talk about today – which is the most important part of a paver installation – and that’s the design element. Most people pick the design elements out of catalogues – and, the paver industry has matured to the point where we now have pavers for virtually any kind of look, any kind of style – for example, if you’ve got a 100 year-old Victorian house, you don’t want to put a modern looking paver in it because it doesn’t fit and it doesn’t do justice to the installation. There are now pavers that look like they are 100 years old, that have been walked over by horseless carriages, and fit the design.

So, the important thing to do is to spend the time to make sure that the paver installation reflects the property, reflects the colors of the property, reflects the mood that you’re trying to accomplish, because you could get pavers that are very muted in color, you can get them very high density colors. So – and, if you pick the wrong one, it doesn’t do justice to the property, it doesn’t make it look right. So, you want to take the time, and make the effort to make sure that the paver you pick, the colors that you pick, the borders that you put in, the patterns that you pick, fit exactly with the property that we’re dealing with.
