Stunning Patio Designs Using Natural Stone Pavers

A backyard patio is no longer just a slab of concrete with a table and chairs. Today, homeowners are transforming outdoor spaces into true extensions of their homes — living rooms, kitchens, and gathering spaces under the open sky. At the center of many of these transformations are natural stone pavers. Known for their durability, versatility, and timeless appeal, natural stone pavers bring a sense of permanence and sophistication to any patio design.

At Ace Building Materials, we partner with leading vendors like Icon Tile, MSI, and NSR to provide a wide range of natural stone options. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern patio or a rustic backyard retreat, these materials offer endless possibilities.

Choose the Right Stone for Your Style

One of the biggest advantages of natural stone is the variety of tones and textures available. Instead of limiting your backyard to one “look,” you can select from different color families to match your vision.

• White & Light Tones: Ideal for bright, coastal-inspired patios. White and cream travertine pavers reflect sunlight beautifully and create an airy, open feel. They’re perfect for California’s outdoor lifestyle, keeping spaces cool and welcoming.
  

• Brown & Earthy Tones: Warm beiges, tans, and earthy hues complement natural wood furniture and outdoor fire pits. These tones are perfect for creating a rustic, inviting atmosphere where friends and family want to linger.

• Black & Dark Stones: For a bold, modern edge, darker stones like slate or basalt add drama and sophistication. Dark tones pair beautifully with stainless steel outdoor kitchens and sleek poolside layouts.
  

By showcasing these variations, your patio design can reflect your personality — whether that’s classic and elegant or modern and minimal.

Pairing Pavers with Complementary Materials

Stone patios really shine when paired with thoughtful accessories and supporting products:

• Artificial Turf: Adds lush greenery without the watering or mowing. It’s a perfect complement to stone’s clean edges.

• Grout & Setting Materials: Brands like Mapei, Laticrete, and Custom Building Products ensure your installation holds up to years of foot traffic and weather exposure.

• Outdoor Features: Fire pits, pergolas, and landscape lighting can elevate a simple stone layout into a true outdoor living room.
