Have a New Home at the Old Address

Stone-like concrete pavers are available in
many shapes, colors and sizes and will help
make your home look like new.

Concrete pavers:

• Are beautiful. They come in many shapes and colors. Suppliers stock rustic stone-like pavers and others that like clay brick. Light-colored pavers can offer a cooler surface around patios and pool decks.
• Don’t crack like asphalt or poured-in-place concrete. Each unit has joints that allow for a small amount of movement without cracking.
• Are easy to repair. You can remove and reinstate the same pavers with no ugly patches after repairs to the base or underground utilities. Other pavements can’t make this claim.
• Resist deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts better than other surfaces. Snow removal is the same as with other pavements. Interlocking concrete pavements can even accommodate snow melting systems. These consist of hot water-filled tubing or radiant wires placed right in the pavement.
• They turn on automatically when a snowstorm starts, eliminating plowing, ice hazards and the need for de-icing salts.
• Resist oil and antifreeze that leak from cars, making the pavers particularly good for driveways.
• Can accommodate lighting fixtures that fit right into the paver pattern. These systems include wiring and a transformer that plug into a standard 110-volt outdoor receptacle. The lighting defines patios, walkways, and driveways at night, increasing safety and adding a bit of mystique to your home.
• Can define and enlarge space for planting beds.
• Can be installed by a professional or a skilled do-it-yourselfer.
