Concrete Pavers
Manufactured concrete blocks (Belgard, Akerstone, Phoenix Pavers) installed on a compacted base — the most common patio material in AZ.
Concrete pavers come in hundreds of shapes, sizes, and colors. They're more affordable than travertine ($10–$18/sf installed), easier to repair (lift one paver and replace), and engineered for vehicle loads in driveways. The downside in Arizona: darker colors get hot underfoot.
