Advantages of Using Pavers for Your Driveway

  1. Strength – Concrete paving stones are carefully manufactured to make them incredibly strong. In fact, paving stones are typically two to three times stronger than poured-in-place concrete.
  2. Flexibility – The method by which concrete pavers are installed leads to a natural flexibility of the surface. This flexibility allows the pavers to adjust with the freeze/thaw shift, virtually eliminating cracking, found more typically with pour-in-place concrete or asphalt.
  3. Easy to Maintain – Maintaining driveway pavers is actually far easier and more affordable than with standard asphalt driveways. Stains and cracks that occur on asphalt can lead to costly and time-consuming restoration. If a paver does become damaged or stained, that paving stone would simply be removed and replaced with a new one.
  4. Easy to Repair or Replace – When an asphalt or concrete driveway fails, typically the entire driveway will need to be removed and replaced. While patch work is possible, it is evident there have been patches due to color differences, leading many homeowners to replace the whole driveway. However, with paving stones, you can replace only the area that needs replacing.
  5. Style Versatility – With paving stones, your design is limited only by imagination. Mixing colors and textures and laying patterns can create magnificent designs, making your driveway the talk of the neighborhood. You can select pavers to match your home’s character and color, giving your driveway a modern flair or old-world charm.
  6. Quick Installation – With paving stones, there is no waiting period to drive on the installed product. With asphalt and concrete, there is a waiting period before it is safe to drive on the surface. This is typically a bigger issue in urban areas where street parking is limited, or even disallowed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Imagine extending your living space outdoors. An elegant and beautiful backyard not only adds tremendous value to your home, it also adds wonderful opportunities for your family and friends to enjoy time together.

The depth of excavation depends on the type of soil and the intended use. Clay soil requires deeper excavation and sandy soil requires less. If the hardscape will need to support heavier loads like driveways and retaining walls then the project will require deeper excavation, lighter loads like walkways and patios will require slightly less. Typical “rule of thumb” is that driveways require 8-10 inches of base and walkways and patios require 4-6 inches of base. Of course, at Lawn Bros we always error on the high side of base depth for hardscape longevity.
