Cast Stone Pavers

Concrete paver is the least expensive option, pavers are a step up from there at a mid-level price point, and natural stone is the most expensive.

Pavers are man-made paving stones made to imitate the look of natural stone. Because they are manufactured instead of quarried, there is a greater uniformity of size, texture and color. Pavers also tend to be less expensive than quarried stone, though prices vary based on the style.

The hand-crafted terracotta pavers features durable terra-cotta bricks in various sizes and thicknesses and each paver is made of 100% natural clay resulting in varying hues of yellow and red clay. Authentic terra-cotta pavers are an affordable and trusted alternative to conventional concrete pavers.

Bricks tend to break in response to stress (such as ice, traffic or moisture) while the surface on concrete pavers can erode and fade over time. Clay bricks resist staining and require less maintenance and cleaning than concrete pavers.

Clay and terracotta bricks can cost up to 20% more than their concrete counterparts. It is estimated that by using pavers of similar quality, a clay project will typically cost 15% to 20% more than concrete pavers. In addition, the installation cost is higher as clay bricks are typically more difficult to lay and therefore more labour intensive to install.
