You could use Pavers (available at Home Depot or Lowes) for the very most durable, long lasting solution. Or if you wanted a more "refined" look, a porcelain tile could work for you. Beware...not all porcelains are suitable for outdoor use. You'll want to check 2 things...The coefficient of friction rating, and the frost (water absorption) rating. The C of F will tell you how slick the tile will be when it gets wet. You want one with a rating of 0.60 or greater. The frost rating will let you know if it will absorb water and (potentially) crack when temps dip to below freezing. Check out Crossville Ceramics and Daltile for porcelain options.
