The benefits of clay pavers

Decorative clay paving in the garden has multiple benefits. Whether you choose a slimmer size or the typical 200/100 mm size, the opportunities are unparalleled. Clay pavers have a warm appearance, are long-lasting, and are also environmentally friendly.

Brick is a centuries-old product, and there’s a good reason for its enduring popularity. This natural building material has traditionally been produced in brickworks along major rivers or near clay pits. Given their high-quality and authentic look, pavers can be found in all kinds of quaint village, town, and city centres. They can add the same feel to your garden as well, providing an instant touch of charm and luxury. Whatever style you choose for your garden, the warm colours and natural appearance of clay pavers will help to create an authentic look and feel.

Clay pavers from Vandersanden offer all-round durability – they are both long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Clay is a 100% natural product. Our bricks are baked at high temperatures to make them extremely strong, with a lifespan of a good 135 years. They are capable of withstanding extreme frost, heavy loads, and road salt. Their colours will not fade – in fact, the weather will only improve their appearance. No surprise that they are so often reused!

A driveway, garden path, or patio made from clay paving is very low maintenance. Our bricks are extremely hard wearing and of top quality. They do not break, which means that they do not need to be replaced every year. Dirt, moss, and algae find it difficult to attach, so there is scarcely any green scale. And if the pavers do become dirty? You can sweep the pavers clean with a little water and a broom. Just add in some fresh sand or filler, and your garden paving will look like new. Take a look at our tips on maintaining your decorative paving.

The convenient size of clay pavers offers limitless opportunities when it comes to garden design. You could opt for a traditional pattern or for something more playful. The wide range of colours also gives you flexibility for even more variation. Mix darker colours with lighter colours, or design appealing patterns. Looking for something slightly calmer? Then opt for even paving or a subtle mix of colours. That way, you can create just the right atmosphere in any type of garden, whether sleek and modern, traditional, or natural.
