There is no shortage of materials for your Long Island, NY, hardscape design. And while there are benefits to opting for natural stone, nothing beats a concrete paver’s ability to marry timeless beauty with durability. Here are six Unilock pavers that are not only aesthetically versatile but will also withstand the test of time.
Town Hall pavers
Town Hall pavers are cast from molds of real street brick pavers and have a convincing time-worn appearance. They can also facilitate permeable installation methods. Permeable pavers benefit the environment by returning rainwater to the underlying ecosystem. This also prevents the unsightly accumulation of water on the surface of your driveway or patio. Without proper drainage systems in place, water can even accumulate on your lawn, resulting in the formation of mold and fungus.
Courtstone pavers
Courtstone pavers have a realistic cobblestone texture that can bring a vintage Old European look to your patio. Ultima Concrete Technology from Unilock grants Courtstone pavers four times the strength of poured concrete. This makes them excellently suited to high-traffic areas like the walkways that join different parts of a patio. These pavers are also compact and make terrifically quaint borders and accents.

Umbriano pavers
Umbriano pavers have unique surfaces infused with random dispersions of color which creates unpredictable highlights and lowlights. Umbriano pavers contain granite particles that contribute towards granting them the beautiful appearance of natural granite. These pavers are great candidates for outdoor kitchens, as they come in a range of neutral colors that pair well with sleek materials, like the metal finishes of modern appliances. They are also non-slip and stain resistant, making spills less of a problem.

Mattoni pavers
Mattoni pavers resemble classic Roman brick, but also bear a distinctly sleek quality that makes them well suited to modern hardscapes. While modern design trends avoid the use of glossy materials, these pavers are available in matte Dark Charcoal and Cocoa Brown shades that are perfect for hardscapes with a contemporary aesthetic. The deep neutral colors in which these pavers are available echo shades often found in modern designs. The Sable Blend color variation has a distressed finish similar to that of distressed wood, which is commonly found in bohemian or tropical hardscape designs.
Bristol Valley pavers
Bristol Valley pavers have a convincing natural appearance that can add an element of timeless elegance to your patio design. The subdued shades in which these pavers are available blend into one another, and in partnership with their moderate surface textures, enhance their overall natural appearance. These pavers are also imbued with EasyClean Stain Resistance by Unilock which makes them well suited to outdoor kitchens, or any spot where the kids are likely to make a mess.
Il Campo pavers
Il Campo pavers are unique due to the spontaneous lines etched across the surface of each paver. The result is both striking and captivating, inviting onlookers to take a closer look at the surface of your patio. These pavers are available in a staggering array of sizes, which can be combined in seemingly random patterns to create a completely personalized patio floor.
