Pennsylvania Flagstone is a natural gray stone available in different sized squares and rectangles, for a more formal look, and irregular shapes, for a less formal look. It can be installed on a concrete base with mortar joints or on a stonedust base. Both methods are strong and offer a great long term investment.

Brick pavers are available in a multitude of colors and shapes. It is also possible to combine different styles to create stunning spaces. Typically, brick pavers are set on a sand base.

However, if your home is less formal, more organic or irregular shapes may be a better fit. No matter what, choose a style that you will be most comfortable in.
