Outdoor Living Pavers

Outdoor living pavers are the stone under everything you do outside: the alfresco slab, the barbecue corner, the firepit circle. This range pulls together our pavers rated for entertaining areas, in formats from large-format tiles to crazy paving.

Choosing Pavers for an Alfresco or Entertaining Area

Start with how the space is used. A covered alfresco off the kitchen suits honed limestone or travertine, smooth enough for dining chairs to slide and sealed against barbecue spills. An open terrace that cops full sun and rain wants a textured surface with grip: tumbled travertine, exfoliated granite or crazy paving. If the area runs to a pool, use the same stone as your pool pavers so the whole zone reads as one surface.

Large-format pavers make small courtyards feel bigger; smaller formats and cobblestone borders suit period homes. Order samples of two or three finishes and look at them outside, in the actual light the area gets.
