As someone pulls up to your home, your driveway is one of the first things they see. If it is filled with cement cracks, it is not a very good first impression. However, with an interesting pave stone design, you will be remembered.

Abandoning the ordinary asphalt in favour of the colour, texture, and designs of pavers in Ottawa, there are a lot of options for today’s driveways and pathways.

Pavers Ottawa for your driveways

Permeable

Ecologically designed, permeable paver systems will allow water (including melted snow and rain) to pass through the joints and enter the ground naturally. It is also designed to filter suspended solids and pollutants. As the stormwater is better handled, the environment benefits. You don’t need to forego design for responsible drainage. There are still many patterns and textures to choose from. Allowing the grass to grow between the stones adds interest and becomes more eco-friendly.

Rustic Farmhouse

Rustic is one of the more popular designs offered by manufacturers. With earth-toned pavers, the impression is of a cobblestone street. You don’t need to live in an old farmhouse to enjoy it, though. It is compatible with a number of architectural styles and personal preferences.

Diamond Smooth

Diamond is available in six different colours and is most popular among contemporary design enthusiasts. It is highly flexible in design and leaves itself open to linear or cube patterns.

Sleek

Just like its name implies, this is for a minimalist look. With an incredibly smooth texture keeping a limited joint space makes the driveway appear like a single, large pavestone in the middle of your landscape. With six colours available, you will easily find something that is compatible with the colour of your home and will still last when you decide to repaint.

Traditional

There is nothing wrong with traditional. It is a blank slate that will allow you to go in any direction you like. That means, if you are planning to remodel, repaint, or adjust the exterior of your home, you will have no problems. The slate or flagstone texture comes in five different colours.

European

Choosing the Villagio reminds one of the European cobblestone streets. This paver has the added advantages of de-icing salt-resistance and will work in the Ottawa harsh winters and freeze-thaw cycles. You can choose from eight different colours for this paver.

Herringbone

Herringbone patterns have been around for centuries, but seeing them in a driveway pattern will set you apart from your neighbours. It has its own flair but still with the clean lines you seek.

Brick

Brick is a classic look that never goes out of style. Actual brick does not do well in harsh climates with variations in temperature and freeze-thaw cycles. Still a concrete paver, Mika looks just like the brick you have on your house.
