Interlocking Pavers

• Your driveway is the first thing you see as you
  turn your car into your home and the last thing
  you see in the mirror as you drive away.
• It is also the first thing visitors see and its
  appearance will have a major impact on the
  impression your home creates on them.
• Using the right paving material is important not
  just because of the look you want to create but
  also in terms of being durable and
  budget-friendly.

• Concrete
• This is among the most common paving materials.
  It is popular because it is tough and durable and
  requires little or no maintenance.
• On the downside, it is quite expensive and for
  many people, is not the most attractive material.
  
• Concrete is also not environmentally friendly as
  it blocks the essential passage of rainwater into
  the ground and instead causes it to flow into
  drains and sewers.
• Asphalt
• Asphalt is a combination of rock, sand and cement
  and is another common driveway material.
• Since it is flexible, it is less prone to weather
  or stress-related cracking. It is also cheaper
  than concrete.
• However, asphalt can become very hot in summer
  and will need to be resealed every few years. It
  is the least environmentally friendly option.

• Gravel
• Gravel is a cost-effective paving option. If
  properly compacted it creates a stable surface
  but depending on the amount of traffic it
  carries, it usually has to be regraded every few
  years.
• In cold climates with winter snow, clearing the
  driveway can be difficult because the gravel
  tends to stick to the snow being removed.
• Comprising of crushed stones and rocks, this is
  an environmentally friendly option that also
  allows rainwater to sink into the soil.
• Brick
• This is a common paving material that is known
  for its durability and easy installation.
• However, bricks start to show dirt and wear after
  a few months and need to be pressure washed to
  remove the stains.
• After the washing, the surface has to be
  resealed. This is a hassle and can be expensive.
  Bricks are environmentally friendly and if
  properly laid, rainwater runoff will not be a
  problem.

• Paving Stones
• Paving stones can last for a century and the
  variety of shapes, colors and styles available
  makes interlocking pavers the best choice for
  driveways. 
• Made of granite and other tough stones, they can
  add immensely to the curb appeal of a home. 
• Being natural stones taken from quarries, these
  are very environmentally friendly.
• Knowing which material to use for a driveway
  requires expert knowledge of the materials,
  climate and soil conditions.
• The person best qualified to give you the best
  advice and also carry out expert installation is
  a landscaping professional.
• Search for paver installation near me to get
  started on installing the right driveway for your
