Stone pavers are usually mined or gathered from a quarry or a rock outcrop and often cut and assembled for sale. There are several different styles available including, granite, limestone, marble, porphyry, flagstone, sandstone, bluestone, and slate. Each of them has its very own unique properties which make them ideal for particular applications.

Concrete pavers are often commonly used. They are made from a dry mixture of aggregates, sand, cement, pigments, and dyes. The final product is solid and is typically appropriate for road usage. Due to the use of colors and pigments, concrete pavers give a wide range of colors. The color often starts to fade faster than brick and stone pavers, the use of sealants can help preserve the color longer.

Brick pavers are often made of clay and shale material, which is why they are often referred to as clay pavers. The natural qualities of the raw materials make a hard wearing and effective paving product.
