What paver color?
Thanks to the recommendations here we've got Fernando lined up to install our pavers in a few weeks. But we're struggling on color. We have a light gray house with a bluish undertone and the patio will be under a dark brown deck with white railing so it will almost always be shaded. Any suggestions? Or pics of your gray house with pavers? Thanks!

Re: What paver color?
Yes, we went yesterday and even brought home some sample pieces. I think what's throwing me off is what we really liked there doesn't look so good against the house. We liked Riverbed and Toffee Onyx Light. I'm thinking we need to go more brown like Sahara Chestnut but I was curious what others have done.

We just signed with Fernando last night! What about the toffee/onyx lite? It would probably look very pretty with your siding.

Re: What paver color?
So we actually did our driveway in toffee onyx (with an onyx natural border).
And we did our side patio (off the driveway, fence separating it) in sahara chestnut lite (with onyx natural border).
I personally love both and don't think you can go wrong. The onyx natural border is gray-ish and would tie either color into the siding.

Do you have any pics? I'm torn between those 2 color options. Worried the sahara chestnut lite will be too yellow since I have a cream colored house.

Re: What paver color?
I can take pics for you. Sahara Chestnut is more orange than yellow.
The Toffee Onyx is more of a mix of a reddish and grays, where each brick is a different color. They're both very pretty.
ETA: Pics in my album. I included a side-by-side of both colors.

Thanks for the pics! I agree, I'm torn. Both combos look beautiful. It's funny b/c I didn't love the Sahara in person at the store, but in your pic it looks so nice. Maybe because it was next to all those other colors at the store it looked kind of drab to me.

Re: What paver color?
As I said, you really can't go wrong b/c both are so pretty. Are you doing a driveway and/or a patio? And what size stones are you thinking?

Re: What paver color?
I'm sure you're right. Just need to make a decision and go for it! We're just doing a patio and we're going to use the bigger stones b/c it's a rather large area.

We did sandstone with a sahara chestnut boarder and circle. I love the light and dark contrast. My DH was worreis sandstone would be too light but it's really not. It's a great neutral color. They all are though. You can't go wrong. We used Fernando too! Loved him and his crew!

Re: What paver color?
When we were looking we looked at everyone's houses
Our house is beige with a brown roof. We have Sahara chestnut pavers
My mother in law has a gray house and she has ruby onyx
Ask Fernando his opinion too!

There are tons of places. We went to Astro Masonry in Deer Park. I know my parents went to Valley Supply in Elmont. Not sure where you're located.

We did 60% sahara chestnut lite and 40% toffee onyx lite with a chestnut border. It's a perfect mix of browns and gray.
