The process required for interlocking concrete paver installation is not extensive or time consuming, and can be completed in a relatively short period, allowing for their prompt usage.
Concrete pavers are available in different shapes, sizes, colors and textures as well as a wide array of materials. This means you or your landscaper can creatively combine them to develop a unique theme that compliments the overall look you wish to achieve.
While there are brick, stone, concrete and glass pavers it is the concrete interlocking pavers that often form the backbone of the overall project. They are perfect for all weather conditions, require little in the way of maintenance, they're durable, safe, and extremely versatile.
Concrete interlocking pavers can be installed very easily (relatively speaking) because they don't require mortar. They are made up of cement or concrete and are installed over a compacted stone sub-base and a leveling bed of sand.
If there is one characteristic most people feel is at the top of the list it's their flexibility in terms of the almost unlimited range of possible applications and uses. They can be used for walkways, patios, pool decks and driveways and airport or loading docks.
Interlocking paving stones, instead of connecting the pavers by pouring grout between the joints as one would with tiles, sand particles are spread over the pavers and tamped down. The sand stabilizes the interlocking pavers, yet allows for some flexibility.
This type of pavement will absorb stress such as small earthquakes, freezes and thaws, and slight ground erosion by shifting each tile slightly. Therefore, they will not crack or buckle like concrete, though bad weather may make potholes, a major benefit when compared to asphalt and poured concrete.
Concrete interlocking pavers are also the most durable and aesthetic choice for your driveway pavement.They are without a doubt the most attractive and long-lasting hardscape product available today!
