Durable Concrete Pavers


Concrete landscape pavers can be used for exterior walkways, driveways, floors, patios and sidewalks. Concrete pavers are timeless as well, and adding concrete pavers to a residential or commercial project can give it a long lasting classic appeal.

DESIGN FLEXABILITY

The many shapes, patterns, and colors of concrete pavers allow for design creativity, as well as delineation of pavement areas, such as parking lanes, cross walks, and intersections. The beauty of them adds value and visual appeal to any property. By adding flexibility not possible with rigid pavement, they can flow with existing landscaping to deliver beauty to any property.

PAVER STRENGTH

Concrete pavers are extremely dense units which possess exceptional strength and durability, superior stability under severe loads, and are unaffected by the extremes of heat and frost. Each unit has joints that allow for a small amount of movement without cracking. Factory made ones can last for decades. Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, pavers are stronger than regular poured concrete surfaces and more durable than black asphalt. They can take more abuse and last for generations. A segmental paving system allows for expansion and contraction without producing surface cracks, unlike monolithic concrete surfaces and stamped concrete.

MAINTANENCE

Stained or broken pavers can be easily replaced without patches. Dark colored ones can help hide stains. Ants and weeds in joints can be prevented with sealers or herbicides. They can be repaired by lifting the affected area, re-grading and re-compacting the base and bedding sand and then reinstalling the same pavers. It is an inexpensive procedure that leaves no unsightly repair patches. Pavers are easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional rinsing are usually the most maintenance needed. For heavy soiling, pressure washing with appropriate clearing solutions (re-sanding of joints will be necessary) or a simple spot treatment with a brush, cleaner, water and some elbow grease will solve the problem.

VERSATILITY

They can be applied in both residential and commercial settings, including surface coverings for driveways, parking lots, promenades, sidewalks, pool decks, patios, streets, golf cart paths and even roof gardens. Interlocking concrete pavers are a sensible and aesthetically attractive choice for all outdoor surfaces.
