Pavers add value to your property and are low maintenance, easy to repair and durable. They are a sensible alternative to traditional concrete & asphalt surface coverings and can be used for residential & commercial applications including driveways, parking lots, promenades, sidewalks, patios & streets. Pavers are available in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes providing almost unlimited design options for unique and attractive installations.
Unlike poured concrete or stamped concrete, pavers have a rough surface texture that provides superior traction when wet and prevents slippage. This is especially important for vehicular applications where the added safety feature reduces the likelihood of injury to drivers & passengers. Pavers can also be installed in a plethora of patterns such as herringbone, basket weave or brick. This flexibility offers more design possibilities than other paving products and virtually eliminates the need for costly repairs and unsightly patching.
Due to their interlocking construction, Pavers are much stronger and more resistant to cracking than conventional slabs of concrete or asphalt. This makes them a superior choice for both heavy traffic and light commercial use where constant movement can damage other pavement surfaces. Pavers have a high compressive strength, low water absorption, and excellent freeze/thaw durability. Unlike poured concrete, pavers do not require expansion joints.
Another advantage of pavers is that they are easy to maintain and clean, saving you the cost and time associated with pressure washing or using harsh chemicals on your driveway. Regular sweeping and occasional rinsing with water will keep your paver driveway looking impeccable. In the case of stubborn stains, a quick spot treatment with a brush and appropriate cleaning solvent will remove any tough staining.
Paver driveways are known for their eco friendly features as well. Unlike solid concrete or asphalt, paver driveways allow rainwater to permeate through the joints, preventing the buildup of standing water and reducing strain on stormwater systems. This natural drainage also prevents soil erosion and promotes groundwater recharge.
Besides its durability, travertine pavers are a great option for homeowners that are looking for a natural look in their landscape. This type of paver is known for its natural beauty and is often used in backyards to decorate a garden, outdoor fireplace, outside stairs and pool decks. Travertine pavers can be purchased in a wide range of colors such as cream, cappuccino and chocolate to match the color of your home or garden.
Manufactured from recycled materials, pavers are an environmentally responsible paving solution. They are also more energy efficient to produce and ship than other paving materials, contributing to a lower carbon footprint. Additionally, a paver driveway allows for underground utilities to be easily accessed without the need for expensive trenching or digging up the entire driveway.
Pavers are a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for driveways, parking lots, patios, sidewalks, streets and even roof gardens. They offer many benefits that make them a more cost effective and environmentally sound choice than poured concrete or asphalt.
