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.
