Why choose a brick paver patio over all the alternatives?

In this post, we'll explore 5 reasons brick pavers are one of the best materials for installing a patio. These are real, practical advantages we've discovered based on our extensive industry knowledge and our clients' experiences. From durability and aesthetics to value, we'll go over all the reasons brick pavers are such a popular choice for modern-day patios.

Read on to find out our 5 top reasons to choose a brick paver patio.

1. Brick Pavers Are Incredibly Durable

When it comes to outdoor building materials, brick pavers are one of the most hardwearing and long-lasting. Made from clay (or sometimes stone or concrete), they offer exceptional year-round weather resistance, holding up to rain, hail, heat, and more.

There's a reason we build structures out of brick—and it's not just that it looks nice. It's that brick is an incredibly resilient and durable building material. Brick pavers are no different. They offer a stellar surface that can face just about anything you can throw at it.

Unlike concrete, patio pavers don't crack. Plus, if ever one paver gets damaged, you can replace the one paver rather than refinish the whole surface. Simple. Smart. Superb.

2. Brick Pavers Are Easy to Maintain

That's right: Brick patio pavers are a stellar choice for a patio that's not only durable but also low on maintenance. Since they're made from natural materials, brick pavers don't need to be stained or treated to protect them. They're easy to clean, and they're exceptionally resistant to wear and tear.

Unlike wood, pavers don't rot or swell. They also don't wear unevenly or require refinishing like other materials, such as concrete or tile. With a patio made from interlocking patios, you can make weekly patio chores a thing of the past.

3. Brick Pavers Are Cost-Effective

Brick pavers are one of the most cost-effective building materials available. There are several reasons for this:

  1. Brick is relatively affordable
  2. You can buy in bulk to drive down costs
  3. Pavers are quicker, easier, and less expensive to install

Unlike many patio systems, such as flagstone, interlocking brick is quick to install, helping reduce building costs without sacrificing results. You save money twice—on labor and on material—making it an exceptionally cost-effective choice for the budget-savvy homeowner.

Some patio systems may be cheaper upfront, but are more expensive down the road. Solid concrete, for example, tends to be less costly per square footage. But it also requires more maintenance and frequent repairs, making it more costly in the long term. Brick pavers strike the perfect middle-ground between affordability and durability, giving you the best bang for your buck.

Like any home improvement project, a brick paver patio is an investment. But it's an investment that will pay off for many years to come. You'll be putting your money into a high-value addition that will not only extend your living space and boost your curb appeal, but also increase your property's overall market value. The time and money you'll save on maintenance, cleaning, and repairs will add up to big savings down the road.

4. Brick Pavers Offer Exceptional Customizability

Pavers come in a wide range of shapes, styles, colors, and textures. They offer unparalleled customizability, giving you full control over the look and feel your patio will have.

Your options aren't just limited to regular red brick. You can also choose from a range of decorative paver styles for stone-like or even wood-like appearance. Plus, pavers can be used to create intricate patterns, such as herringbone or parquet. Whatever your vision for your patio, pavers are sure to bring it to life.

The most common type of paver is the good-old rectangular paver. But that's not your only option. There's an incredible range of paver shapes and sizes. Squares, triangles, tapered edges: there's a world of choice out there for you to enjoy.

At Contemporary Stone Work, LLC, we work closely with each client to help them find the perfect paver design for them. We partner with countless manufacturers to offer just about any type of paver our clients may want. Everything about our designs—from paver style to the pattern and color—is tailored to our clients' needs.

5. Brick Pavers Look Beautiful

Ultimately, there's no better way to choose a building material than whether you like the way it looks.

Patio pavers are an incredibly aesthetic option for all types of patios. Brick has always been renowned for its timeless, elegant appeal—but now, brick comes in so many varieties that the possibilities are far more than what they used to be. The options are near endless. From rustic red brick to classic stonework to something contemporary, brick pavers can do it all.

If you're looking to turn heads with a patio built to impress, brick pavers are an excellent choice.
