If you’re looking to upgrade the exterior of your business or home, you’ve likely to consider replacing your walkways. These are among the first things people see as they come up to your property, so it’s never a bad idea to try to impress them before they even make it to your front door. Regardless of your reasons, we know that you’re only interested in the best types of pavers for a pedestrian walkway, which is what we’ve listed for you in this post.
Flagstone Pavers
If you want something visually stunning and unique, then flagstone is the way to go. These pavers are the ones that have odd shapes and fit together like a puzzle. Most people primarily use them for patios, but they work well for general walkways as well. However, you shouldn’t use them in areas with car traffic. That’s because these stones are pretty thin and can crack under immense weight over time. They work perfectly for people who are on foot, though.
Concrete Pavers
This material might seem like a weird choice since you likely removed a bunch of boring concrete sidewalks to put in your new walkway. However, concrete looks much better in paver-form because you can find it in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Plus, concrete is one of the cheapest options, so it’s great for anyone on a budget.
If you’ve dealt with concrete sidewalks in the past, you know that they’re prone to breakage. But as long as you take good care of these pavers, they should last much longer. On top of that, even if one breaks, it’ll be much easier to replace than a standard concrete slab.
Rubber Pavers
Probably the strangest pick for our list of the top pedestrian walkway paver types is rubber. This is a pretty new choice in the world of walkway materials. So, we can’t say for sure how great this choice is in terms of longevity, but you won’t have to worry about them chipping or cracking. Obviously, the number of coloring choices will be a bit limited. However, rubber is eco-friendly, slip-resistant, and won’t hurt as badly even if you do fall. We’re sure that you’ll find an aspect of them that you’ll love.
Permeable Pavers
If you want to have a walkway that doesn’t pool up with any water, then permeable pavers will be your best option. There’s a multitude of styles available for this variation of pavers, but all of them are great at keeping your paths clear of slippery substances and puddles. As a nice bonus, these stones are incredibly sturdy, so you’ll be able to use them in areas that regularly have cars that drive over them.
