Golden Sun travertine pavers

Golden Sun pavers bring warm gold and yellow tones to a patio. They are travertine, a sedimentary stone. Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Unlike irregular flagstone, pavers have straight edges, so they lay out in neat rows and give a space a tailored, finished look. Travertine is porous, so every Golden Sun project should include a plan for sealing.

Gold and yellow tones

The color runs gold to yellow. It suits warm-toned homes, terracotta pots and Mediterranean-style gardens.

Travertine often shows small natural pits from how it formed. That texture is part of its look.

Because the color is warm, Golden Sun pavers can carry a whole patio on their own. For contrast, border them with a darker stone or edge the beds with pebbles, and bring a photo of your house so staff can help you choose.

Where Golden Sun pavers work

Use them for patios, walkways, courtyards and entry landings. Straight edges make layout simple.

For a pool deck, tell staff about your water and read choosing stone for water features first. Our flagstone vs pavers guide compares the two looks.

Sealing travertine

Because travertine is porous, it must be sealed. Wash it, let it dry 5 to 10 days with sprinklers off, and apply two coats early in the morning.

Sealers come in shiny and matte finishes. See sealing flagstone, and ask about sealers in our supplies area. If you cut pavers to fit, cut outdoors with a wet saw or water on the blade, and wear eye protection and a dust mask rated for silica.
