Concrete brick, travertine, color, and pattern: a simple guide to picking a driveway paver that fits your home and holds up to Florida weather.
A driveway is the biggest hardscape surface on most properties and the first thing people see. Picking the right paver comes down to three choices: material, color, and pattern. Here is how we walk Orlando homeowners through it.
Material: concrete pavers or travertine
Concrete brick pavers are the workhorse for driveways: a huge range of colors and shapes, strong value, and rated for vehicle loads. Travertine is the premium natural option that stays cooler underfoot and lifts the look of the whole front yard, and it works best where the budget allows. Both beat poured concrete in Florida's shifting, sandy soil.
Color: tie it to the house, not the trend
The driveway should frame the home, not fight it. We hold samples against your roof, exterior walls, and trim at the estimate. Mixed earth tones hide tire marks and stains far better than a single flat color, which matters on a surface cars sit on every day.
Pattern: looks and strength
- Herringbone interlocks the tightest and is the classic choice for driveways that carry vehicles.
- Running bond is clean and modern, and budget-friendly to lay.
- A contrasting border ties the field to the house and finishes the edge.
- Larger-format pavers read modern but want a perfectly built base.
The bottom line
Pick the material for the budget, the color for the house, and the pattern for the load. Horizon brings samples to every free estimate, and the owner who helps you choose is the installer who lays it. Call 321-946-4029.
