It is a type of sandstone so it can be cut into a wide range of shapes and sizes to create
elegant patterns however it is its natural bluish hue that makes it so attractive.
Flagstone is another attractive natural stone paver but it is most commonly found with
a grey or reddish hue. However flagstone comes in thinner and irregular sizes, which
makes it more suitable for light duties such as in a patio or garden landscaping but not
driveways. Also due to its irregular natural shapes it is often best suited to patterns
that are irregular and fitted together much like a jigsaw puzzle. This however has the
downside that if damaged they are not readily replaceable like brick, concrete or
bluestone pavers. Travertine is another outdoor paver suited to landscaping, patios and
swimming pool decking. Again being a natural stone it has pleasing aesthetic qualities
as well as being durable. However for an all-round material suited to both heavy duty
use such as in driveways or in elegant designs and landscaping we return to the
traditional granite cobblestone. Cobbles are extremely durable as well as having an
attractive appearance which makes them perfect for low-maintenance projects where
long-levity and durability are more important than price.
