Hi krosenthal, thanks for your question! The pavers used on this project were not tumbled. Tumbled pavers typically have very rounded edges and the finish is scuffed on purpose. This type of patio lends itself to a more rustic / weathered feel. Non tumbled pavers typically have a cleaner look, but are certainly more sccuptable to scratching / surface damage that might occur during installation. Tumbled pavers are already "scratched", so you don't have to be as careful with them during install. Hope this is helpful!!
