Whether you’re looking to pave a driveway, front or back yard, your choice of paver can make a big difference to the end result. Pavers in Melbourne are available in a wide assortment of different types and materials, making it important to give your choice careful consideration. Below, Better Exteriors details some handy tips to help get you started.

Consider Material

Pavers in Melbourne come in no shortage of different materials, including popular options such as bluestone, granite, marble, limestone and travertine. You might think that your choice of material will be dictated by aesthetics alone, but this isn’t the case. Different materials can also have different qualities, such as resistant to heat, making certain materials better or less suited to different areas. For this reason, it’s recommended that you speak to an expert who will be able to tell you whether the material you’re leaning towards is suitable for the area requiring paving.

Select the Right Colour

Colour is often a matter of personal preference, with a multitude of different paver colours available to choose from. However, it can be all too easy to choose the wrong colour that looks out of place or causes an ugly clash of colours. It’s recommended that you take into account the overall design of your area and any other prominent colours when choosing the colour of your pavers. You should also make sure to view the colour options you’re considering in person, as shade and colour can look different in real life compared to on the screen.

Decide on a Texture

Finally, it’s important to consider the texture of pavers in Melbourne. The texture you choose can affect the aesthetics of your pavers as well as their traction, making it an important consideration. For example, it’s important that pavers for a pool area are slip-resistant to minimise the chance of accidents. For areas where good traction is required, a rougher finish is recommended, while a smoother and sleeker finish can be used for pavers in other areas.
