Paver Perfection: A Guide To Choosing And Installing Durable Outdoor Surfaces

Creating beautiful, relaxing outdoor spaces starts with installing landscaping that adds desirable color, texture, and privacy to your space. You’ll want to finish the yard with hardscaping elements like pavers that enhance your exterior design and increase the use value.

Natural stone and porcelain pavers provide the solutions you seek for attractive and durable patios, walkways, and driveways.

Choosing the right materials helps you achieve both functional and aesthetic goals for your home exterior, ensuring the longevity of your paver project and complementing other installations, such as stunning stacked stone façades and convenient artificial turf.

MSI is a leader in premium exterior surfaces, including an impressive selection of outdoor patio tile. But which products will help you realize your outdoor design vision? Here are several of our most popular products to inspire your exterior upgrade.

Contemporary Styles With Enduring Appeal

When you turn your attention to pavers, you may not know where to start. At MSI, you’ll find two great collections to explore, namely Arterra^® Porcelain Pavers and Natural Stone Pavers.

The Arterra® Collection, available in a range of authentic stone-look, wood-look, and original designs, delivers the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and practical benefits.

Durable, sustainable, and low-maintenance, these pavers resist staining, UV fading, and freeze/thaw cycles. They also feature our patented ZeroSlip® technology for your peace of mind.

The Natural Stone Collection offers the beauty and prestige of marble, granite, quartzite, limestone, slate, and travertine pavers. Whether you prefer traditional or modern vibes, these pavers offer a sense of luxury with versatile, neutral hues and eye-catching markings that support any style and enrich your outdoor living spaces.

Porcelain Paver Collection — Arterra®

The porcelain patio pavers you select for your yard have a marked impact on both the look and feel of your space.

Gritzo Almond Arterra® Pavers

If you want to create a tranquil setting for private reflection and quiet moments of connection, Gritzo Almond Arterra^® Pavers are the ideal choice, with options for large-format 24” x 24” and 24” x 48” sizing that minimizes seams for an unbroken appearance.

The soft beige background is sprinkled with white and brown to create subtle, terrazzo styling and delicate dimension. Nestled amid strips of lush, artificial turf, these pavers offer a mildly warm counterpoint to gray walls and a bistro set with a black table and pear-hued, Eames-style molded plastic chairs.

Kaya Zermatta Blanca Arterra® Pavers

For brighter, bolder statement patios and walkways, opt for Kaya Zermatta Blanca Arterra^® Pavers. A soft white backdrop marked by delicate, linear veining in pale gray adds the formal appeal of a marble-look paver, paired with the casual, modern appearance of a matte finish.

The luxe aesthetic gains a boost of contemporary charm from furnishings featuring nude wood slats and sleek, gray cushions. Blocky planters housing rigid agave and a border of manicured artificial turf add vibrant color and life to the scene, while large-format 24” x 48” pavers create a bold gridwork of patio flooring with gray grout.

Vortexa Champagne Arterra® Pavers

Vortexa Champagne Arterra® Pavers are the grounding inspiration for a warm, inviting patio space, thanks to a calming, tan background and the windswept appearance of creamy, beige veining.

These pavers are the perfect complement to whitewashed brick walls and chocolate-toned door and window frames. A pool framed by pavers stands out like a cerulean oasis peeking through shifting dunes, surrounded by large-format tiles in 24” x 24” or 24” x 48” sizing with coordinating 13” x 24” coping.

Natural Stone Paver Collection

Natural stone is a strong choice for various hardscape elements due to its inherent resilience and captivating appeal. Pulled from the earth, these stone varieties are well-suited to withstand both the elements and the wear and tear of a busy household.

Whether you’re contending with kids and pets or you like to entertain large groups of family and friends, natural stone pavers hold up well to daily life.

Sierra White Marble Pavers

If you love the ethereal beauty of white marble, you’re sure to appreciate cool white Sierra White Marble Pavers. This stone variety, marked by soft gray undertones and veining, is equal parts striking and refined, with 16” x 24” sizing and 12” x 24” or 16” x 24” coping.

A small yard feels larger with these bright pavers ringing a pool area and planter beds, glowing with inner luminescence. Fluffy grasses and dark mulch offer clear visual delineation against the pristine marble patio pavers.

White Mist Granite Pavers

If you’re looking for a lot of personality in a neutral palette, White Mist Granite Pavers deliver in spades. A cool white surface ups the ante on visual texture with granular speckles in a nearly uniform, low-variation pattern, like pepper spilled across a counter surface.

Simple, cream-colored lounge chairs and a metal table contribute texture within a relatively monochromatic palette. Ample sizing options, including 12” x 18”, 12” x 24”, 16” x 24”, 18” x 24”, 24” x 24”, 18” x 36”, 24” x 36”, and 24” x 48”, along with multiple natural stone coping sizes, ensure the right fit for every patio and pathway.

Seagrass Limestone Pavers

The light gray and green tones of Seagrass Limestone Pavers, available in large-format 24” x 24” sizing with 16” x 24” coping, are the perfect complement to outdoor spaces where flora and hardscaping come together in perfect harmony.

Fossil imprints add effortless texture that mimics a landscape brimming with palms, from towering trees to low-growing sagos amid leafy ground cover. The limestone provides a stunning contrast to the jewel-toned waters of a rectangular pool.

Hassle-Free Hardscaping

Installing hardscaping doesn’t have to be messy or time-consuming. When you choose the right pavers for patios and walkways, you’ll enjoy a seamless installation process and products designed to withstand the elements. Both porcelain and natural stone pavers offer desirable benefits and a luxury ambiance that elevates outdoor spaces or any other paver project.
