Mid Valley Rock carries these pavers in Sacramento; supply changes, so ask before you plan a large area. Travertine: Philadelphia Rust Pavers Colors vary. See it in the yard. Travertine has been used for paving for a very long time, and it still looks classic. It is a sedimentary stone, a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Philadelphia Rust pavers blend beige, brown, rust and taupe in one warm mix. Unlike irregular flagstone, pavers have straight edges, so they give a patio or pool deck a tidy, tailored look. Travertine is porous, so plan to seal it. ## A warm, blended palette Each paver carries some mix of beige, brown, rust and taupe. Laid together, they create a warm, old-world look that suits Spanish and Mediterranean homes. Travertine often has small natural pits and holes from how it formed. That texture is part of its character. ## Where travertine pavers work Pavers suit patios, walkways, pool decks and courtyards. The straight edges make layout simple and joints consistent. For a pool, read [choosing stone for water features](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/choosing-stone-for-water-features/) and tell staff about the chemicals and splash the stone will see. Because pavers are a set size, estimating is simple. Measure length and width, add a little extra for cuts, and bring the numbers to the yard. Staff can help you work out how many pavers the space takes. ## Sealing and care 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 day. Sealers come in shiny and matte. See [sealing flagstone](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/sealing-flagstone/), and ask about the sealers in our [supplies](https://midvalleyrock.com/supplies/) area. ## Popular uses - Patios and courtyards - Pool decks - Garden walkways - Outdoor dining areas - Entry landings ### Is it in the yard today?
