What is the Best Brand of Pavers?

If you’re considering a paver patio, pool deck or driveway project, chances are you’ve done some “Googling” to research contractors, design ideas and the best type of paver products to use.

No doubt, in addition to Unilock, many brand names have risen to the surface of your search results like Belgard, Permacon, Cambridge, and Techo-Bloc. With so many brands on the market, it can be confusing to know what is the best brand of pavers? Let’s take a look at what’s really important when choosing a paver like working with a top paving stone manufacturer; paver styles and colours; getting the best retaining wall system; ensuring your pavers last long and don’t fade; and of course installation guarantees.

Top Paving Stone Manufacturers

Our long list of firsts makes Unilock the trailblazer in the industry. We were the first to bring paving stones to North America in 1972 and the first to introduce tumbled pavers, permeable pavers and new technologies such as EnduraColor, setting the bar for others to follow.

Unilock has been perfecting a technology called, EasyClean, which helps protect your pavers from stains.

Paver Styles and Colors

What sets Unilock pavers apart is the breadth of our style selection, from sleek, modern, contemporary styles to more traditional and classically elegant designs, and everything in between.

Take our Elegance line. Combining deep, concentrated colors with specialized aggregates and texturing techniques to cast pavers with natural stone surfaces. From the timeworn look of European cobblestones, to the classic luxury of riven stone slabs, Unilock pavers have a certain caliber and authenticity appreciated by those with discerning taste.

U-Cara vs. the Tandem Wall

The Tandem Wall from Belgard and U-Cara from Unilock are similar in concept, but there are major differences between the two, thanks to thoughtful Unilock engineering.

With U-Cara, you don’t have to install panels (the more expensive components) below grade. U-Cara can be installed vertically or with a 5.5-degree setback for additional stability. The panels are interchangeable, and engineered to enable higher walls than the Belgard system. You can also mount the panels to a building using the new U-Cara Wall Mount System.

Of course, the U-Cara Multi-face Wall System complements all Unilock pavers, steps and coping, so any vertical element you choose will maintain consistent colors, textures and finishes throughout your hardscaping.
