Paver Benefits

The Benefits of Pavers

A Unique Pavement Solution.

One of the most unique features of using pavers is the fact that they are pre-made. This advantage allows the customer to select the exact color before installation.  Did you know pavers are as old as the roads of the Roman Empire?  That’s according to the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute® (ICPI), and you can read more about their history and their sustainability on their website.

Got Pavers? Problems Solved!

Some of the main challenges that can be solved is the age old cracking problem with concrete. The running joke in the concrete business is that the ‘birdbaths are free’. These are the inevitable low spots in the final concrete end product. They can’t be ‘fixed’. This isn’t the case with pavers. Repairs can be performed with pavers easily. Just lift and reset. Meanwhile, concrete has to be cut out and repoured, which never matches.

Unlike Concrete, Pavers Are Predictable… This Means No Surprises!

A major benefit is that the customer can see what the end product is going to look like during the installation. It is not the same with concrete — concrete always cracks and the customer has no idea what the concrete is going to look like until the concrete is poured and cured which can be weeks later. There are many factors which can affect the final concrete product. Humidity, heat, time of day, the person/people troweling the concrete — even the weather during the curing process. The wet surface after application can be ruined if not kept wet or walked on for a few days. Not so with pavers!
