We used pavers from a home and garden center- just do some research and ask around to find stone that can handle heat without cracking or exploding (danger!). Hope it helps!

I love your firepit. We have a paver patio that’s very similar to yours in color and layout and we would love to build a firepit like yours. Do you happen to have a post about how you built it? I’ve searched through your archives and I can’t seem to find a post about the firepit, specfically. Any guidance would be appreciated! Love your blog! Thanks!

Our old firepit had rusted out. So we ran across yours built with pavers and landscape edgers. We built it in just a few minutes and used it that night. It works great!. Looks better and should be more durable than the old one. Thanks!!

Your website is amazing.I especially love the before and after pictures. The step by step photos are so helpful. I’m very impressed.
We just got a lot of free slate rock from my sister-in-law when she retired her fish pond. Trying to decide what to do with it. Thinking either a small patio area – refering to the walkway pictures you have – or maybe a stacked rock fountain. Would love to see pictures of slate rock fountains – I only found one so far.
Keep up all that excellent hard work.

Not sure what brand they are (the patio guy didn’t give us a choice of brand, just color). As for the color, they’re not the grayest ones they had (they had some brown in them) but they also weren’t devoid of gray. I’d call them gray-brown because there was a browner paver option and a grayer one that was a bit darker and not as warm and faded looking. Hope it helps!

haha…it helps when you read all of the comments before posting your own! I see that they are a basic cobblestone paver, but do you know what brand and color they are?

Hi, I stumbled upon your blog (again) looking at home and garden photos :) I happened to notice your lovely patio and am wondering what brand, style, and color pavers yours are. We are planning to do some hardscaping this season and are torn between some choices and this look is really what I’m going for. Btw, love your blog :) Hope you keep going with it!

It was called “cobblestone paver, basic” in the brochure and it was a two man two day job. You can definitely find a DIY patio tutorial online thanks to a quick google search. Hope it helps!

Gorgeous! Do you happen to know what type of stone was used in the patio itself and how easy/hard it would be to build a
Patio like that? Thanks!
