Pavers with rocks in between are an easy and affordable option when creating walkways and even larger areas around the yard. Pavers can be made of natural stone, concrete, flagstone, or travertine varying in shapes and colors. Rocks to place in between pavers typically range from 3/8″ to 2″ depending on the width of the joints between pavers. Pavers with rocks in between look modern and yet natural at the same time, creating a beautiful combination of materials.
Having a pathway or a walkway in the yard not only adds beauty to landscaping areas but is also very functional. Having a clear walking area to step on avoids other areas of the yard from being trampled on. Further, walkways help prevent extra debris from being brought inside the house by your shoes. However, keep in mind that having pavers with rocks in between may not be the best option to have for wheelchairs and strollers as the the surface area will not be continuous.
These type of pathways are so simple that it can easily be a weekend DIY project. As a bonus, opting for pavers with rocks in between may be more affordable than other options. With costs of materials increasing constantly these days, homeowners are looking for more affordable ways on home improvements without compromising aesthetic.
Whether you are planning on a narrow or wide area for your yard, take a look at these seven pavers with rocks in between below for ideas.
This post is all about pavers with rocks in between.
1. Single Row of Flagstone Pavers
Make access to landscaping areas accessible without having to trample over greenery with a walkway of pavers set in a single row. Select flagstone pieces that will not need any cutting for a natural look. Because flagstone is natural, pieces will vary in shapes and sizes. Select pieces that will accommodate your desired area. Keeping flagstone in its natural shape will make the area feel very natural, especially when surrounded by the rocks and greenery. Selection of rock sizes does not necessarily matter as the joints can be wide.
2. Two Rows of Pavers
Create a wider walkway with small pavers by placing them next to each other to create two rows. Now you can walk with a companion next to you, each with its own path. Select a tone that you like such as brown and have dark brown pavers set next to light brown rocks to create harmony.
3. Checkered Pattern Pavers
Get creative with the design and set pavers in a checkered pattern. Alternatively, the pavers could be set in a diagonal pattern. Having pavers and rocks in a similar tone will blend the pavers in with the rocks slightly if you do not wish to have a color contrast.
4. Random Setting of Pavers
Scatter flagstone pavers throughout the area for a natural yet artistic look. Choose rocks that are lighter in color such as white to make the pavers out even further. This will also help guide you along the path as the stones are not set in a pattern. The white rocks also serve as a clear border from the walkway to the landscape area.
5. Large Rectangle Pavers
Large concrete rectangle pavers are great for wide walkways. Create a small border with rocks in a different color than the rocks in between the pavers for an edgy look. Go a little further with your creativity and cut out a small hole in the pavers for a tiny planter to add some greenery.
6. Multi-Shape Pavers
For areas that have varying widths or bends, you can place pavers of different shapes to accommodate area. This pathway is made with mostly rectangle pavers and later square and rhombus pavers as the width changes along the pathway.
7. Large Squared Pavers
Pavers with rocks in between do not have to be limited to walkways, you can also use large pavers for an outdoor seating area. Narrow joints instead of wide joints work best for furniture placement. These black rocks placed against the gray pavers give a very modern and effortless look to this backyard.
