What makes Pavingstones the best choice for driveways, walkways and patios?
Unlike asphalt and poured concrete, pavers are virtually maintenance free and do
not need to be regularly sealed or replaced. Pavers are about three times stronger
than regular poured concrete and have a maximum water absorption rate of 5%.
Plus, you can use your new patio, walkway or driveway immediately after
compacting the pavers and sweeping with joint sand.

Why are they called interlocking pavers?
It is the system that makes them interlocking. When installed properly, the
combination of pavers, bedding sand, Paver-Edge Restraints and joint sand create
the interlocking that provides a unified, flexible pavement.

Can pavingstones be installed over existing pavement?
Yes. Pavingstones can be used as an overlay over existing concrete patios and
walkways as well as asphalt driveways. Costs incurred for removal and disposal of
existing asphalt or concrete are therefore eliminated.

Is it necessary to seal Pavingstones?
No. Sealing is the preventive maintenance application that helps resist stain
penetration; it enhances the color and binds sand particles in between the joints to
minimize germination of airborne weeds seedlings. Allow a minimum of 60-90
days after completion of the installation before sealing. Sealers are not permanent
and should be reapplied every three to five years. Only water-based sealers can be
used in New Jersey and New York.

If I have weeds in my patio how do I get rid of them?
Apply a spot vegetation killer as required. This is available from any garden centre.

Can I use paving stones around a swimming pool?
Absolutely! Pavers not only will add beauty to your pool surround, they also
provide a slip resistant surface to walk on. Also, if you ever have to service the area
below the pavers you can easily lift and re-lay the pavers.

If a paver gets chipped or damaged, can it be replaced?
Yes, easily. We recommend that you save a few pavers from your initial
installation, just in case you need to replace one or two. Pavers normally can be
pried out using two flathead screwdrivers.

Does frost affect my installation?
No, if you install them on a properly prepared base pavers will outlast poured.

Will snow plows damage or dislodge my pavers?
No. Properly installed paving stones fit tightly together and form a uniform surface
that presents no problem for plows, snow blowers and shovels.

What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence is a whitish powder-like deposit, common in concrete and masonry
products that normally will disappear over time with weathering. Although it may
present an aesthetic concern, efflorescence will not affect the structural performance
of pavers or wall systems. Efflorescence is a natural occurrence for which
manufactures accepts no responsibility nor liability.
