Pavers offer a smart way to upgrade your outdoor space with surfaces that last and require very little upkeep. They are built to handle heavy foot traffic and shifting weather conditions without cracking. Unlike poured concrete, pavers can flex slightly, reducing the risk of breaks. In addition to strength, they offer design flexibility with a wide range of colors, shapes, and finishes. Here are some benefits of pavers:

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick should the paver base be for a driveway or patio?

Using a compacted class II road base, the base of a residential driveway should be six to eight inches deep. Four to six inches is usually enough for patios and sidewalks.

Why and what sort of sand is utilized between pavers?

Commonly used to fill in between pavers is polymeric sand. Additives in it harden when moistened, therefore locking the pavers in place and preventing weed growth, movement, or insect infestation. Basic installations may call for concrete sand; polymeric sand provides more stability.

What if my Should pavers be sealed following installation? pets use the turf as their bathroom?

While it’s optional, most paver installations need sealing. It improves color, fights stains, and helps stop moss or weed growth. Sealing every two to three years preserves look and surface integrity for concrete and brick pavers, particularly in locations with heavy foot or vehicle activity.

How do you handle drainage in paver installations?

Drainage is addressed through graded base preparation and strategic sloping, usually with a 1–2% pitch away from structures. Permeable pavers can also be used to allow water to seep through joints into a drainage layer below. Proper drainage prevents pooling and foundation damage.
