Paver & Wall Combinations We Love
Posted: June 24, 2025 | By: PPM Supply
Hardscaping is one of the most impactful ways to define outdoor spaces. Whether you're designing a patio, retaining wall, or fire pit area, the right combination of pavers and walls can beautifully tie everything together.
At Perth Planing Mill, we're shining a spotlight on two of Canada's oldest Hardscaping suppliers: Unilock and Best Way Stone. Both offer high-performance, visually appealing products, but each brings its own style and design flexibility. Here we show you our favourite paver and wall pairing from each brand to help you get inspired for your next project:
Unilock: Windermere Smooth Pavers + Pisa Smooth Walls
-
Windermere Pavers from Unilock offer a stylish and cost-effective solution for modern and transitional landscape designs. With a gently cleft surface and crisp, clean edges, these large-format pavers create a relaxed yet refined look that's perfect for patios, walkways, and driveways. Sold in random three-stone bundles, Windermere creates a natural, flagstone-inspired pattern that simplifies installation while adding visual interest.
With a consistent 70mm thickness, Windermere Smooth supports both pedestrian and light vehicular traffic, making it ideal for a variety of outdoor applications. Available in stock in classic tones like Cliffside Grey, Granite Blend, and Dusk, it's a durable and versatile option for homeowners and contractors seeking fade-resistant pavers with a modern finish.
Pisa Smooth features a clean, linear profile, ideal for building retaining walls, garden beds, planters, and other vertical hardscape features. Its versatile design and subtle texture complement Windermere's aesthetic beautifully.
Used together, Windermere and Pisa Smooth create a harmonious blend of traditional character and modern design—perfect for multi-level patios, outdoor kitchens, driveways, and custom seating areas. This pairing offers design flexibility, long-term durability, and visual continuity across any landscape project. -
Ashford pavers feature a sleek, modern profile with precision edges and tight joint spacing—ideal for achieving a clean, streamlined look. Offered in stock in sophisticated tones such as Grey Mix, Colorado Grey, and Summer Mist, Ashford lends itself beautifully to contemporary patios, pool surrounds, and walkways where minimalist design and geometric layouts take center stage.
Complementing Ashford's refined appearance, the Arlington Wall System combines structural integrity with modern styling. Its smooth face design, tapered block shape, and multiple sizes make it versatile for both straight and curved applications, including retaining walls, raised planters, garden features, and steps.
Together, Ashford and Arlington create a cohesive, modern hardscape solution. This pairing is perfect for urban-inspired landscapes and minimalist outdoor spaces that prioritize symmetry, simplicity, and enduring style. -
Design Tips from Our Team:
When selecting paver and wall combinations, choose colours that coordinate without matching exactly. Subtle variations in tone add interest while maintaining a polished, unified appearance. Consider your overall landscape style—modern, traditional, or transitional—and use complementary materials to enhance the space's functionality and visual appeal. -
