Tabby

LCP Exclusive

Our tabby finish is a textured surface treatment applied to our pavers, using recycled oyster and seashells. Tabby pavers are popular in both residential and commercial settings due to their aesthetic appeal that screams “Lowcountry”. Available in all colors and patterns, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, from pool decks and patios to sidewalks and driveways.

Tumbled

Our tumbled finish is a treatment that gives pavers a weathered, rustic look. The process involves tumbling the pavers in a machine to create a natural, uneven texture on the surface of the stone. Tumbled finish pavers are popular in both traditional and modern landscape designs due to their rustic charm and versatility.

What's the Difference Between Tabby, Tumbled, and Traditional Paver Finishes?

Lowcountry Paver offers three finishing options, and each creates a completely different feel underfoot. Tabby is our LCP-exclusive finish, textured with real recycled oyster and seashells for that unmistakable Lowcountry look. Tumbled gives pavers a weathered, uneven surface for rustic, old-world charm. Traditional is our clean, stock finish with a smooth, contemporary edge that suits nearly any design. All three are available across our color and pattern options, and all carry the same lifetime transferable warranty, so the choice comes down to style, not durability.

What Is a Tabby Finish, and Where Does the Look Come From?

Tabby is a textured surface treatment unique to Lowcountry Paver, made using recycled oyster and seashells pressed into the surface of the paver. It’s inspired by tabby concrete, a coastal building material with deep Lowcountry roots. The result is a flecked, sandy texture that reads as coastal without looking like a novelty finish. Because it’s available in all of our colors and patterns, Tabby works equally well on pool decks, patios, walkways, and driveways for homeowners chasing that authentic Lowcountry curb appeal.

Which Paver Finish Is Best for a Pool Deck?

For pool decks, texture matters as much as color. Tabby and Tumbled both add extra grip underfoot thanks to their natural surface texture, which is a plus around wet, bare feet. Traditional’s smoother stock finish still performs well and gives a pool area a cleaner, more modern look if that’s the style you’re after. Whichever finish you choose, pairing it with one of our lighter Cool Pool Color Collection shades will also help keep the deck comfortable to walk on in the Lowcountry sun.

Is a Tumbled or Traditional Finish Better for a Driveway?

Both finishes hold up equally well on a driveway, so it comes down to the look you want. Tumbled gives a driveway a weathered, old-world character that pairs beautifully with Lowcountry cottages, Charleston single houses, and traditional Southern architecture. Traditional keeps a crisp, clean edge for a more modern or contemporary front entrance. One note: Tumbled isn’t available on every product line, including our 30mm Remodeling Pavers, Lowcountry Cobble 12×12, Charleston Flagstone, Charleston Edgestone, and Jumbo Nursery Wall, so check availability for your chosen paver style before you fall in love with a look.

Which Paver Finish Fits My Home's Style Best?

If your home leans coastal or Lowcountry cottage, Tabby’s shell-flecked texture is usually the crowd favorite. Historic, traditional, and Southern-style homes tend to pair well with Tumbled’s weathered, rustic character. Traditional is the go-to for modern and contemporary homes that call for cleaner lines and a smoother surface. There’s no wrong answer here, it’s a matter of personal taste, so we always recommend requesting a sample of each finish in your preferred color before committing to a full driveway or patio.

Is Every Finish Available on Every Paver Product?

Not quite. Traditional is our stock finish and is available across the full catalog, and Tabby is available in all of our colors and patterns. Tumbled is the exception, it isn’t offered on 30mm Remodeling Pavers, Lowcountry Cobble 12×12, Charleston Flagstone, Charleston Edgestone, or Jumbo Nursery Wall. If you have your heart set on a specific finish, check the individual product page or give us a call at 866-468-3561 to confirm what’s available for the paver you’re considering.
