Interlocking concrete and precast concrete pavers are made out of cement and rock materials known as fine and coarse aggregate. The volume of aggregate is modified to determine concrete paver finishes and color pigment is added before concrete pavers are poured into various standard shapes and sizes.
Most paver manufacturers offer a lifetime guarantee for their products. An important factor that allows a pavers installation to last much longer than concrete, is the ease of repair. Should ever have issues with cracked or chipped pavers, you can simply have them replaced without taking away from the function or look of the patio, pool deck, driveway or walkway. Therefore, the longevity and integrity of the installation is significantly higher than that of other hardscape paving materials.
Smooth pavers – Pavers have a smooth surface and straight corners. Textured Pavers – have a textured surface that creates a rustic look. Tumbled Pavers – have chiseled corners that provide an antique or distressed broken look.
Although easy to install, concrete is likely to split and crack, especially in a seismic area such as Southern California. Pavers on the other hand, due to the installation process and their interlocking system, are more flexible and are able to disperse pressure or weight evenly, which helps prevent cracking. Additionally, paving stones come in a variety of shapes, textures, patterns and colors, and offer more design options for your project than concrete slabs.
Every project we do is customized to compliment the style of each individual home. Our design experts will work with you to help you pick the best paver for your home’s design. We can create unique patterns to ensure that your home stands out.
Tumbled pavers are standard pavers that have been put through a machine that wears down sharp edges, giving tumbled pavers a more natural and aged look.
Natural stones are primarily cut from real rock, as opposed to concrete pavers, which are man-made.
Sometimes called filter fabric, geotextile is made of plastic threads that allow water to pass through them. Geotextile separates and contains the base from the underlying soil subgrade. It allows the base to shed water, and prevents the soil around it from working its way into the base.Without geotextile, the soil will work its way into the base and weaken it. This is a slow process that happens when the soil is saturated with water or during periods of thawing. Geotextile stops this process and extends the life of the base by many years. Geotextile is recommended for use over silt and clay soils and not essential in sandy soils. Geotextile is used primarily for driveways due to the vehicle traffic and weight.
