The path to your door tells the story of your home. Whether you’re a homeowner planning a welcoming entrance, a property developer improving curb appeal, or a custom home builder designing outdoor spaces, rectangular pavers offer endless possibilities for crafting that perfect first impression. From rectangle paver walkways to rectangular stepping stones, these versatile natural stone pavers combine timeless appeal with modern sophistication.

Rectangular Natural Stone Paver Sizes

When it comes to creating impactful outdoor spaces, Polycor’s collection of rectangular stone pavers provides options for every design vision. Instead of the standard square pavers or small interlocking concrete pavers that can limit your pattern options, these pavers can be mixed into various configurations for a wide range of designs. Our standard collection includes rectangular paving stones ranging from 12″ x 24″ through 24″ x 36″, with sizes that include 12″ x 36″, 18″ x 24″, 18″ x 30″, 18″ x 36″, and 24″ x 30″. For those seeking to make a bold statement, our extra large 24″ x 48″ natural stone rectangular pavers create dramatic impact in spacious areas.

The versatility of these sizes allows designers and builders to create seamless transitions between different outdoor spaces based on what best suits the area and the design intent. Larger rectangular paving stones can establish a sense of grandeur at main entrances, while more modest sizes work beautifully for garden paths and intimate settings. This flexibility in sizing ensures that each project can be perfectly scaled to its environment.

Stone Options for Rectangular Pavers

Each stone in Polycor’s collection brings distinct characteristics to outdoor spaces. Our INDIANA LIMESTONE – FULL COLOR BLEND™ pavers offer warm, earthy tones that complement traditional and contemporary designs. The material’s natural variation adds depth and character to any installation while maintaining remarkable consistency in quality and performance.

CALEDONIA™ granite provides sophisticated gray and brown tones for modern sensibilities. Its crystalline structure creates subtle variations in texture and color that catch the light throughout the day, adding visual interest to walkways and patios.

EASTERN GRAY™ granite delivers a refined medium-gray palette suitable for various architectural styles. This versatile and fine-grained stone maintains its beauty in contemporary and traditional settings, making it an excellent choice for patios and walkways.

SAINT HENRY BLACK™ granite creates a striking contrast in contemporary layouts. The deep, rich color provides a dramatic backdrop for landscape elements and architectural features, while its dense composition ensures lasting durability.

GEORGIA MARBLE™ — PEARL GREY™ and GEORGIA MARBLE™ – WHITE CHEROKEE™ add distinctive luxury with their natural veining patterns. These stones bring an unmistakable elegance to any installation, particularly well-suited for formal entrances and high-end residential projects or for anyone who just loves the look of real marble.

Design Patterns for Rectangular Paver Walkways

The way pavers are arranged has a definite transformative impact on a space. A thoughtful pattern layout considers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality, creating pathways that are beautiful and pleasing to navigate.

• Running Bond Pattern. This classic arrangement offsets each row of rectangular patio stones, creating a natural flow and movement through outdoor living spaces. The pattern works particularly well for long walkways and entrance paths, guiding visitors while maintaining visual interest.
• Herringbone Design. This diagonal arrangement, offsetting each piece at perpendicular angles where the short side butts up to the long side, creates energy and vibrancy that is great for larger spaces where you want to make a design statement. This sophisticated pattern adds visual interest and movement while maintaining a cohesive look. 
• Grid Layout. Perfect for contemporary designs, this clean, uniform arrangement creates a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The straightforward pattern is more orderly and emphasizes the natural beauty of the stone while providing a strong architectural element.
• Mixed Pattern. Combining different rectangular paver sizes creates dynamic visual interest while maintaining organized lines. This approach allows for creative expression while ensuring the space remains cohesive and functional. Whether it is a 3-piece paver pattern or 4-piece paver pattern, there are many ways that stones can be intermixed to produce different results. 

Traditional Style Meets Modern Design

Natural Flow with Black Granite Stepping Stones

The contrast between the beige limestone and white crushed stone, as well as the surrounding greenery, creates a compelling visual journey through the space.

Garden Path Innovation with Caledonia Granite

The pattern adds complexity without detracting the eye from the surrounding spaces or the home’s features.

Selecting the Right Size Pavers for Your Space

When choosing rectangular pavers for your project, consider how the space will be used. Main entrances benefit from larger formats like 24″ x 36″ or 24″ x 48″ rectangular paving stones, which create an impressive approach while minimizing seams and can be laid full width in single pieces. Narrower garden paths and intimate spaces might call for smaller 12″ x 24″ or 18″ x 24″ rectangle pavers that maintain proper scale and allow for more intricate patterns. The size selection also affects installation efficiency and long-term maintenance. Larger rectangular pavers can reduce installation time and create fewer joints to maintain, while smaller sizes offer more flexibility in creating curves and managing grade changes with less cutting or shaping.
