Your driveway is one of the hardest-working surfaces around your home—so it makes sense to choose a paver that’s built to last and looks great doing it. Whether you’re installing a new driveway or replacing an old one, selecting the right paver stones makes all the difference.
At Western Interlock, we offer driveway pavers that are not only strong and reliable but also beautiful and easy to work with. In this article, we’ll explore what makes a paver driveway-ready, highlight our top picks, and help you find the best fit for your project.
Driveways endure more wear and tear than almost any other surface. From the weight of parked vehicles to daily use, your pavers need to deliver long-term performance. Here are four essential qualities to look for in a driveway-rated paver.
Load-bearing strength is essential. Driveway pavers must be engineered to withstand the pressure of vehicles without cracking or shifting. That strength begins with the paver’s internal structure and is reinforced by proper installation.
Paver thickness matters too. Most residential driveways require pavers that are at least 60mm thick to handle routine traffic with confidence. Larger-format options are often even thicker, providing additional stability.
Interlock capability refers to how well the pavers fit together to resist movement. Certain patterns, like herringbone, create stronger interlock by distributing weight more evenly across the surface.
Surface texture enhances both traction and aesthetics. Some finishes reduce tire marks and stains, while others contribute to a clean or rustic look that boosts curb appeal.
When you combine these factors, you get a driveway that performs well, resists wear, and elevates the appearance of your home.
We’ve designed and selected pavers that deliver on both performance and style. Here are a few of our top recommendations for driveway installations:
Milana Moderna is a large-format paver with sleek lines and a smooth finish, ideal for contemporary homes. Built for strength and stability, it handles residential traffic with ease. Upgraded spacer bars make it compatible with modern wet-sweep joint sands, improving durability and reducing maintenance.
Versatile and easy to install, Camino Stone features an old-world cobbled surface that complements both modern and traditional settings. It’s one of our most popular driveway pavers thanks to its reliable strength and timeless look.
Also available in tumbled form as Roca Camino Stone™ for added character.
Part of the Leiden Collection, Park & Plaza Stones offer design flexibility and driveway-grade strength. Use the stones individually or combine sizes for a custom look that holds up under pressure.
Also available in Cobble Park & Plaza™ or Roca Park & Plaza™ finishes for a textured or tumbled effect.
Clean, strong, and classic. Holland Stone’s rectangular shape is ideal for herringbone patterns, which provide superior interlock and load distribution—perfect for high-traffic driveways.
With its cobbled texture and soft, rounded edges, Roma Stone offers a warm, rustic aesthetic. Its unique shape allows for curved layouts without the need for cutting, making it a great option for natural or winding driveway designs.
Need a driveway solution that handles water runoff without sacrificing strength or style? Permeable pavers are designed to allow water to pass through the joints, reducing pooling and improving drainage.
Combining the charm of Camino Stone with added permeability, Camino Permeare allows stormwater to drain naturally while maintaining a polished, classic appearance.
A compact, durable option for high-traffic driveways, Holland Permeare is often laid in a 45° herringbone pattern to maximize strength and drainage performance.
With its slim, rectangular profile and modern look, Park Permeare is a refined option for driveways needing sustainable drainage. It performs beautifully while keeping your space clean and dry.
Your driveway does more than get you from the street to your front door—it makes a first impression. That’s why choosing the right pattern and color is just as important as choosing the right stone.
Bold color choices like Charcoal or Cambridge Blend offer contrast and a crisp, modern look. For a more inviting aesthetic, earth tones like Jamestown blend naturally with wood or stone elements.
Herringbone patterns—especially at a 45° angle—provide excellent interlock and visual movement. They’re among the best choices for strength and aesthetics.
Running Bond is clean and traditional. It works especially well with rectangular pavers like Holland Stone and lends itself to a straightforward installation.
Modular multi-size layouts, like the Five Stone or Three Stone patterns, combine multiple paver sizes in a repeating sequence. These patterns create a custom look with visual depth while helping to hide tire marks, dust, and debris—making them both beautiful and practical for everyday driveways.
Whatever your style, the right color and pattern combination can turn your driveway into a standout feature of your home.
A great driveway starts long before the first stone is laid. Planning your project helps you choose the right materials, estimate costs, and decide whether to DIY or hire a contractor.
