Why Choose Concrete Pavers for Your Home Project?
Five reasons to choose concrete pavers over other options:
Attractiveness – Many homeowners consider pavers much more attractive than asphalt and poured concrete. Concrete pavers come in a vast array of colors, shapes, sizes and textures. Concrete paver colors include beige, coral, variegated or darker blends, as well as blends with flashed tones to harmonize with a home’s exterior cladding. They can easily be put into patterns that complement the architectural style of homes because of the wide variety of styles available.
Durability – Concrete pavers should maintain their beauty and strength for several years when installer properly. Other pavements, such as asphalt or poured concrete typically experience shorter lives.
Maintenance – Concrete pavers are easier to maintain and last longer without needed to be repaired or replaces. In fact, factory-made pavers last for decades and need practically no maintenance when installed to ICPI guidelines. If a concrete paver becomes stained or broken, it can be easily replaced individually without patches. Additionally, pavers work well in freeze-thaw environments since they are easy to plow and snow melts faster to reduce ice hazards.
Cost – The cost of concrete pavers is substantially less than natural stone, and concrete pavers provide an equally as attractive appearance. When factoring in maintenance costs and project durability, concrete pavers are also extremely affordable compared to other outdoor surface choices, such as poured concrete.
Safety – Pavers provide a safe, slip-resistant surface for pedestrian, vehicular and pool projects.
Not only are pavers aesthetically pleasing and boost curb appeal, they help protect the environment. Concrete pavers allow water to filter through the pavement and back into the ground through an open-graded base or crushed stone layers with no small or fine particles. Pavers help reduce stormwater runoff and infiltrate it back into the soil and reduce pollutants.
