At Cataldo Landscape & Masonry, we know that planning paver patios or walkways is an exciting part of improving your outdoor space. One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right paver color and style. This choice can dramatically impact the overall look of your home and yard—so it’s worth getting right. That’s why this month, our team is here to share some tips to help you choose the right option for your home.
Match Your Home’s Style
Start by looking at your home’s exterior. Is it modern, traditional, or rustic?
- Modern homes tend to look best with smooth, clean-lined pavers in cool neutrals like gray or charcoal.
- Traditional or colonial homes pair nicely with tumbled or brick-style pavers in warm browns or reds.
- Rustic homes or farmhouses often look great with textured, natural stone-style pavers.
Choosing a paver that fits the style of your home helps everything feel more cohesive and professionally designed.
Complement Your Landscaping
Your paver color should work with your landscaping, not compete with it. If your yard has lots of green space, a cool-toned paver can provide contrast. If you have wood features, desert plants, or mulch, warmer tones like tan or beige might be a better fit.
Use Color to Define Space
Lighter pavers can make smaller areas feel more open and spacious, while darker ones can create a cozy, grounded look. Many of our clients also choose two-tone patterns or borders, which add visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Keep Maintenance in Mind
Paver color also affects how clean your patio looks over time. Very light or very dark pavers may show more dirt, stains, or debris. Mid-toned pavers tend to hide wear and tear best and are easier to maintain with regular cleaning and sealing.
Ask for Samples
We always recommend viewing paver samples in natural light, ideally right next to your home’s siding. This gives you the most accurate feel for how they’ll look year-round.
