Patio

A patio is the easiest place to use natural stone because it carries foot traffic only and usually sits away from the splash zone of a pool. That opens up finishes and formats that are less practical on a pool deck or a driveway. The pavers in this collection are the same material lines we sell everywhere else, filtered for patio use: marble in leather and sandblasted finish, limestone mostly tumbled, a few travertine and basalt options, and the porcelain line.

Which material for a patio

Marble pavers are the largest share here. Leather-finish Ibiza White, Corsica Cream and Bursa White give a dense, even surface that wipes clean, which matters under a dining table or grill. Limestone in Lymra, Myra and Symra is warmer and softer in texture and is usually tumbled. Porcelain pavers at 3/4" (20 mm) are the pick for a covered patio over a slab or a pedestal deck, since they never need sealing and shrug off wine and oil.

Format and layout

Large-format pieces dominate patio orders: 24x24 leads, followed by 24x48, 24x36 and 16x24. Fewer joints mean a calmer look and faster installation. A 24x24 grid with tight joints reads modern; mixing 24x24 with 24x48 in a staggered course adds movement without a pattern set. If you want a traditional look, the French pattern set covers roughly the same ground with four sizes. Measure the patio, add 10 percent for straight layouts, and use the overage calculator guide to convert to pallets.

Base and thickness

Over an existing concrete slab, 1-1/4" stone set in a mortar bed or thin-set is the standard approach. On a compacted gravel base with sand bedding, go to 2" so the pieces do not rock. Porcelain at 3/4" works on pedestals, over slab, or on a compacted base with a proper edge restraint. Request samples before a pallet order to confirm color under your own light.
