Patio Cobbles

To successfully landscape a terrace with pavers, it is essential to choose the materials carefully. Natural stone pavers are an excellent option for combining aesthetics, durability and easy maintenance. At Minéral, we offer a wide choice of terrace pavers: in sandstone, limestone, granite, travertine, gneiss, or even bluestone. Each type of stone offers a different shade, appearance and finish: aged (tumbled), cleft, flamed, or bush-hammered. These products, available in stock, are perfect for your outdoor terraces.

The choice of material depends on the use, the desired style and exposure to the weather. Here are a few suggestions:

• Limestone: ideal for a beige terrace, with a natural look and good resistance.
• Granite: very robust, recommended for driveable or high-traffic terraces.
• Travertine: Mediterranean effect, very elegant for garden terraces.
• Kandla sandstone: multicoloured shades, an excellent alternative to wood or conventional slabs.
• Blue stone: chic and modern, for a contemporary look.

These materials are available in several thicknesses, formats and with different finishes for your outdoor terrace.

If you are placing garden furniture on your paved terrace, choose stable pavers that are flat and non-slip. Pavers in flamed granite or aged Kandla sandstone are particularly suitable thanks to their textured surface. A thickness of at least 4 to 6 cm is recommended to withstand the weight of the furniture without any risk of sinking. Square formats (15x15 cm or 20x20 cm) offer excellent stability.

For maintenance, opt for a water-repellent treatment to prevent stains caused by chair legs, flower pots or barbecue grease.

Our products in stock are available for delivery or at your nearest Minéral showroom.

Laying pavers is indeed a key step to ensure the durability and aesthetics of your natural stone terrace. Here are the main steps to follow:

• Excavate the ground and ensure good waterproofing
• Install a layer of stabilized sand or bedding layer: Choose a crushed sand or stabilized depending on the type of paver you use. This layer must be well leveled and compacted to provide a solid base.
• Lay the pavers: Arrange the pavers according to the chosen pattern (such as opus, straight lines, or herringbone), taking care to leave enough spacing for filling the joints.
• Fill the joints: Use polymeric sand or a specific mortar, depending on the climatic conditions and intended use. Make sure to fill the joints thoroughly to prevent weed growth and ensure stability.
• Compact and water: Once the pavers are laid and the joints filled, use a plate compactor to compact everything, then water lightly to stabilize the materials.

Adapt this method according to exposure to water, loads or frequent traffic. The quality of the joints, the thickness of the pavers, and the type of stone directly influence the stability and longevity of your terrace.

The choice of paver color indeed has a major impact on the atmosphere of your terrace. Each shade can transform the space by giving it a different atmosphere, depending on the materials chosen. Here are some suggestions for choosing the color according to the desired effect:

• Light grey: Very modern and clean, it fits perfectly into a contemporary setting. Grey sets off furniture and plants, and suits modern or urban terraces well. This shade is also ideal for visually enlarging a smaller space.
• Beige or sand: These soft, natural colors bring warmth and light to your outdoor space. They blend well with a lush garden and offer a nice transition between inside and outside. Perfect for a Mediterranean or Provençal style.
• Black or slate: Black or shades of slate create an elegant, chic contrast, especially in modern landscaping. They highlight decorative elements such as plants or light wood furniture, and add a sophisticated touch to the whole.
• Multicolor: Varied shades such as Kandla sandstone, with its warm shades of beige, grey and pink, add texture and depth to your terrace. These pavers are ideal for a lively, dynamic and welcoming look, perfect for gardens or patios with a relaxed atmosphere.

By harmonizing the colors of the pavers well with those of the borders and other elements such as slabs or pool copings, you can create a coherent and aesthetic outdoor surface. It is also important to take into account sun exposure, maintenance and stain resistance, which vary depending on the colors and type of stone.

For a low-maintenance terrace, choose natural stone pavers with an aged, bush-hammered or flamed finish, which better hide small stains and resist water. Avoid surfaces that are too smooth, which can become slippery and difficult to clean. Applying a water-repellent treatment and stain-resistant treatment is strongly recommended. The grout joints must be well made to prevent sand, moss or weeds from getting in. Our maintenance advice, the suitable accessories, and our products are available in store or by delivery.
