Why Are Travertine Pavers So Popular for Outdoor Landscaping?

1. Versatility

Outdoor travertine pavers fit perfectly within any existing exterior decor, as they come in a huge range of styles and colors. From classic ivory travertine pavers to warm rust or walnut shades, you’ll find the perfect complement to your chosen design. What’s more, you can further customize your look by laying out your pavers in dynamic patterns.



You’ll also find that each piece is unique, and the pavers also come in a variety of finishes as well. Try a tumbled look for a rough texture, a honed finish for a smoother surface, or a filled finish for the glossiest, smoothest feel.

2. Low-Maintenance

No homeowner wants to waste their time on frequent upkeep, even for the most beautiful outdoor landscaping.



That’s where travertine pavers come in: give your pavers a good cleaning every once in a while, and you’re good to go. And with a special sealer for travertine pavers, you’ll spend even less time on cleaning.

Also, paver replacement is easy: all you need to do is replace the stone in question, with no need to unearth the entire design.

3. Durability

Despite their beautiful appearance, these pavers have a surprising durability that makes them resistant to discoloration and staining. They’re also freeze- and thaw-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about temperature fluctuations if you live in a freeze-prone area.



This material can be vulnerable to abrasion or acidic staining, depending on how you treat it, but travertine restoration can make your investment look like new again.

4. Long Lifespan

Did you know that travertine was used in the construction of the Colosseum in Rome? Even in ancient times, the stone was prized for its lifespan—and as parts of this building still stand today, it’s a good sign for your home! Travertine can last the lifespan of your house, meaning this investment will never need to be replaced as long as you handle it with care.

5. Affordability

Because of travertine’s natural beauty and durability, some homeowners worry that these popular stones will break the bank as marble or granite would.



However, our travertine pavers can be more affordable than you think, and they’re also a great investment that can last a lifetime. In other words, instead of replacing landscaping that will wear and degrade as the years pass, travertine pavers can keep your design looking like new for decades to come—without any additional cost.
