The importance of these factors will depend on your personal preferences and priorities, however we suggest reviewing them all prior to reaching your final decision. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Cost<\/strong> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you have an unlimited amount of money to spend, cost is going to play a deciding role when choosing a type of paver to use for a new patio, pool surround, driveway or other indoor\/outdoor project &#8211; especially depending on the size of the area you will be paving.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Appearance<\/strong> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the colour and texture of the pavers you use should compliment the exterior of your home and the land on which it stands. However, the importance of this depends on whether you are planning a home improvement project purely for practical reasons or to enhance your outdoor living space and the value of your property for an upcoming sale.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Durability<\/strong> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paver stone styles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and materials are more durable than others, making them more suitable for areas that will endure heavy foot or road traffic. If you\u2019re building an ornamental pathway in your garden, durability might be a low priority. However if you\u2019re installing a new driveway, this will definitely be at the top of priority list. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve considered which of the above factors have the highest importance for your project, it\u2019s time to consider the pavers you can choose to install. Below, we list 6 of the best <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paver stone styles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/materials available in Australia: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/stone-pavers\/limestone-pavers\/\">Limestone pavers<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of different types of limestone pavers available, all of which are very durable and easy to maintain. Limestone compliments many exterior environments and does not stain as easily as some of the more porous natural stone alternatives.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/stone-pavers\/marble-pavers\/\"><strong>Marble pavers<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marble is a denser and harder form of limestone and as such, it is very durable and resistant to heat. Its luxurious appearance will definitely add curb-side appeal to your home however, it comes with a price. If you\u2019re working on a budget, marble pavers require more investment.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/stone-pavers\/granite-pavers\/\"><strong>Granite pavers<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granite is harder than marble or limestone, making it even more durable which is ideal for high foot traffic areas. It is relatively stain resistant too but because it\u2019s porous paver (like marble and limestone), if you\u2019re concerned that staining is likely to be a major issue, we strongly recommend <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/sealers-and-cleaners\/sealers\/\"   title=\"sealing\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">sealing<\/a> the pavers on a regular basis.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/travertine-pavers\/\"><strong>Travertine pavers<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A form of limestone that is formed from hot spring deposits, travertine is more brittle than normal limestone. As such, it\u2019s not recommended for use in high traffic areas. However, its attractive appearance and naturally slip-resistant surface make it a popular choice for garden features and pool surrounds.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/bluestone-pavers\/\"><strong>Bluestone pavers<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attractive, easy to install, economical and durable: it is easy to see how bluestone pavers are\u00a0 one of the most widely used <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paver stone styles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visionaryclients.com\/armstone\/products\/stone-pavers\/\">Sandstone pavers<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to their susceptibility to erosion from exposure to acid and salt, we do not recommend installing sandstone around pools.
