Natural stone is one of the favorite, although more expensive, hardscape materials to be used in landscapes. But in addition to natural stone, there is a wide variety of materials, colors patterns and textures to choose from, such as manufactured concrete blocks and pavers, clay bricks, decorative gravels, wood, tile, etc.
For paved surfaces, concrete pavers are a great choice. Pavers are a durable, low maintenance material and a more environmentally friendly choice than concrete or asphalt as they are a permeable material, which helps decrease surface runoff from the paved surface.
