If you’re looking for a premium stone paver that is as durable as it is easy on the eyes, granite pavers are at your service! Known for their incredible density, durability and striking appearance, granite pavers are an ideal choice for enhancing any outdoor space, especially where there is heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
Granite is an igneous rock, formed by magma or lava solidifying and cooling over millions of years. Mainly made of quartz, mica, and feldspar, this hard volcanic stone is popular in the building and construction industry because it is extremely tough and durable in nature.
This tough composition makes granite stone pavers scratch and stain-resistant, anti-slip and enigmatic to behold. Whether you install them as a driveway paver, or in your patio, path or even a commercial setting like a bustling shopping precinct, your granite pavers will be able to withhold whatever weight, pressure and traffic laid on them, making them ideal natural stone paving for all exterior areas.
As a natural stone paver formed by lava and quartz, granite pavers are mostly available in a range of lighter to darker shades of silvery-grey, to deeply set charcoal. At Armstone our granite pavers are also available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and thicknesses – from the sleek 12mm to the robust 30mm.
Granite is extremely durable and can withstand heavy loads and high pressure. This is why granite is an ideal natural stone choice for driveways and heavy foot traffic areas like paths. Their colouring also helps mask stains and they are naturally anti-slip. If you’re choosing granite as a driveway paver, we recommend a minimum thickness of 30mm for extra durability.
Part of granite’s appeal is that it’s highly weather-resistant. As it is made of lava and magma, it is robust and can endure extreme ranges in weather – from cold temperatures and heavy downpours, to extreme heat. This resilience makes granite an ideal choice for outdoor environments. A word of caution though: being a darker natural stone paver, granite also easily absorbs heat, so it might not be ideal for outdoor areas like poolside surrounds that are in direct sunlight. In saying that, granite is the most salt resistant natural stone paver on the market, which is an ideal quality for a poolside paver.
At Armstone we have a variety of finishes for granite stone pavers. Flamed or exfoliated finishes provide a non-slip quality, which is vital if you are installing granite pavers around the pool, or for patios, driveways and walkways. These finishes improve the stone’s safety, without diminishing its natural beauty.
At Armstone, we pride ourselves on sourcing only the finest quality outdoor granite tiles from the most reputable quarries around the world. We are on a mission to curate beauty and enrich lives by providing you with the most up-to-date, industry products and advice for your home project.

Granite is an igneous rock, formed by magma or lava solidifying and cooling over millions of years. Mainly made of quartz, mica, and feldspar, this hard volcanic stone is popular in the building and construction industry because it is extremely tough and durable in nature, making it an ideal paver for high-traffic areas like driveways, paths, and outdoor entertainment areas like patios.
Granite pavers are an ideal natural stone for heavy duty areas like paths and driveways because they are naturally durable. Made from lava and magma, granite can withstand extreme pressure from vehicle and foot-traffic, as well as extreme weather and climate changes. Their silvery-grey and even deep charcoal colouring, is beautifully striking but also easily masks stains and stands the test of time. Additionally, they are the most salt-resistant natural stone paver on the market, which makes granite pavers ideal for poolside areas. As you can see, granite pavers are as beautiful as they are functional, making them a popular choice amongst residential and commercial property owners and landscapers alike.
As a porous stone, it’s important to seal granite pavers to protect them from gathering dirt, grime, and dust, all of which damage the stone and cause it to stain over time, altering its appearance. Our recommended sealer is the Aqua Mix, which enhances and protects your granite pavers, giving them a lasting glossy finish that’s particularly stunning around pools.
The simplest method to effectively clean your granite pavers is to mix some gentle detergent with warm water. If you have granite pavers installed in larger and more commercial areas that get higher levels of foot traffic, ‘ride on floor’ cleaners can be used to make the job easier.
The cost of granite pavers depends on the type of stone, size, and thickness chosen. If you’d like an obligation-free, complimentary quote, contact us online or visit our Sydney showroom in Glebe or Penrith and one of our natural stone experts will guide you.
