Mediterranean Paving

Mediterranean style gardens have been popular for several decades and offer an opportunity to introduce warm, earthy shades into the garden to provide the ambience associated with warmer climes. The richly enhanced colour palette often includes shades of warm peaches and rose browns through to vibrant terracotta and ochre hues. The texture often appears sun-dried or baked which is complemented by terracotta pots to complete the theme.

Tile Style Paving

Tile Style paving is often considered to be one of the more authentic choices of paving used in mediterranean themed gardens. The terracotta (cooked earth) colours truly represent the dry baked earth found in the dusty plains of mediterranean regions. The paving ranges available in tile styles include manmade replicas of old clay tiles in warm earthy tones in addition to the subtle lighter shades of buff grey natural limestone combined with the charcoal grey tones of black natural limestone.

Travertine Paving

Travertine paving is the classic paving stone used in Italian villas and was used in the construction of the Colosseum. The general colour palette of travertine is cream, warm tan and beige and the stone markings often include subtle swirls, similar to walnut wood. Travertine is smooth to the touch having been honed to enhance the colour and it often has a pitted surface which may be filled if preferred. Travertine paving is often used as an interior stone and current trends to continue the same theme through to the outside of the home are particularly suited to this stone.
