Why Paving Stones Make For A Stunning Driveway
2

• Many homeowners choose to have their driveways
  constructed using paving stones, and its easy to
  see why. With their clean lines, soft colors, and
  durability, not to mention the fact that theyre
  almost entirely free of any technical defects
  (unlike concrete or asphalt, for example), pavers
  make an excellent choice for driveways of all
  shapes and sizes.
• If youre considering adding a driveway to your
  home, and are wondering what to have it
  constructed from, you cant go far wrong with
  pavers (provided you also hire an experienced
  company to install them), but which type of paver
  should you choose?

• Should you choose brick, stone or concrete for
  your driveway?
• Manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and
  sizes, and available in several different
  materials, paving stones are a versatile option
  for many purposes around the home, but are
  particularly effective when it comes to driveways.

• When discussing your paving options with a
  construction or masonry contractor, they will ask
  you how often your driveway is used by vehicles,
  and what type of vehicles will typically be using
  it, as this could have a significant impact on
  the type of material that would work best. Of
  your driveway is likely to be busy and used often
  by cars and trucks etc, then thicker paving
  stones would be more suitable, as theyre more
  likely to maintain their even surface for many
  years of heavy usage.
• By using brick pavers for your driveway, because
  the material doesnt change its appearance and
  quality over extended periods, you can limit the
  maintenance required and enjoy a pristine,
  functional driveway for many years to come.

• Just how durable are paving stones for driveways?
• In terms of durability, paving stones are a lot
  less susceptible than other construction
  materials, to the following
• Abrasion
• Heavier loads
• Impact
• Rain and snow
• Changes in temperature (such as exists in
  freeze-thaw cycles)

6

• Brick pavers are also incredibly strong, and
  damage usually only occurs after many years of
  intense wear and tear.
• Are driveway pavers water-resistant?
• Because paving stones have a very low absorbency,
  and drain well, this means that during periods of
  heavy or prolonged rainfall, they are excellent
  at preventing excess water from pooling and/or
  seeping into the very structure of a home, where
  it can cause considerable damage.

7

• Are they easy to use when installing a driveway?
• Thanks to the fact that there is no need for the
  use of a wet binder such as mortar, with paving
  stones, they can simply be placed directly onto
  the intended surface and removed with relative
  ease should it be required if repairs are needed
  to a system installed beneath the pavers, for
  example.

8

• While its of course essential that a driveway is
  able to perform its primary function for the
  foreseeable future, its equally as important
  that it looks attractive and complements the
  property. Fortunately, by working with an
  experienced masonry contractor and choosing a
  versatile, strong and attractive material such as
  brick pavers, you can get a driveway that ticks
  all the boxes.
