Finding The Ideal Paver Sizes
For the DIYer aiming to achieve a professional looking surface for their DIY project, choosing the right paver size is just as important as choosing the right colour or texture. Here’s an exploration of paver sizes that we can offer you for each of your favourite pavers.
Measuring according to the area you are working on should be the prime consideration. You might use large format pavers in a ‘field’ area, but then use slim-sized pavers for your garden edge requirements.
Larger pavers will decrease the sense of the size of a patio. Large pavers appear more obvious and demand visual attention. Whereas, smaller pavers are simple and more common, but have greater design flexibility. They also create the impression of a larger and more spacious patio.
Thickness, aside from lengths and widths, should also be an important consideration in your choice of pavers. A useful trick is dividing the length by width, or what is called getting the aspect ratio.
If your paver is to be used for surfaces that are expected to experience heavy foot or vehicular traffic, the natural choice would be much thicker pavers. They will need to resist greater force from breaking and accelerating tires. Interlock decreases as the unit size increases so this suggests that large pavers should be kept out of vehicular traffic.

Different projects will require different paver sizes. We highly recommend visiting an Australian Paving Centre near you so you can personally see for yourselves the exact dimensions and colours as well as feel the varied textures for each of these pavers.
