There are 2 types of methods that can be used when coloring concrete pavers. This gives anyone a great opportunity to choose any color you may desire. The ability to choose any color is an advantage, because everyone's taste is different, some may like bright colors, others may like pastel colors.

This is a simple process, which consists of 4 simple steps:

1. Decide on the best color for your patio.

2. The concrete is then mixed to a paste.

3. Once the color has been chosen it is then produced into a powdered form. This is then mixed well into the concrete.

4. Concrete containing the color is then placed into moulds and left to dry.

Color Blending

When paving your patio, a couple of colors can also be used in the one area. This is called color blending. This can help break up large areas where one color gets boring and continuous.

Two colors can also be used to create your own exclusive paved patio area. Color blending can also be used to help beautify the surroundings of your garden or home.
