Compare Pavers to Bluestone

I have found that most people compare pavers to bluestone more than many other materials. In addition, the assumption is that bluestone will cost a lot more.
It will if you have a lot of square footage. However, for smaller areas you’d be surprised at the difference in pricing.

If you love the look of natural stone, I would definitely consider bluestone. However, pavers do offer a lot more color choices and patterns. You can also blend in different design more easily, such as borders or circle inserts.
