Are you looking for a tough, cost-effective, even surprisingly handsome option for your new poolside patio or driveway? You can consider concrete pavers, as they are affordable, colorful, and durable. Concrete pavers are an attractive yet practical choice anywhere on your property.

Concrete types

All Concrete pavers in South Shore comprise gravel, cement, sand, Portland, and water, but the texture and durability can vary based on how they are built.

Interlocking pavers

• The edge spacers are responsible for creating uniform joints
• Built with a very strong, stiff concrete blend
• Thick, compatible with different uses like driveways
• It offers a lifetime warranty

Architectural slab

• Edge spacers are not present
• Molded from wetter concrete for resembling brick or stone
• Slender, not suitable for driveways
• Only a few slabs offer a warranty

The care concrete pavers need

As we know, they are concrete, casual sweeping and weeding are all they demand. If you are concerned about keeping the just-laid appearance, you must consider scrubbing off stains or mildew. In snowy weather, you can use non-chloride deicers.

Easy installation

Due to the identical sizes, flat bottoms, and tight-fitting shapes, concrete pavers go down quite easily and quickly compared to the most natural stone.

Resisting sleep

A concrete paver is suitable for driveways, providing better traction in comparison with poured concrete, particularly on steep slopes.

Resilience

Concrete pavers can move independently, unlike asphalt or poured concrete which may develop cracks from invading tree roots or ice heavers. Repair is easy, it involves pulling up the affected pavers, making the fix, and putting them back.

Weather resistance

Industry-standard concrete pavers with minimum water absorbency are capable of surviving freezing conditions without crumbling or splitting

The runoff problem

Rainwater washes over most paved surfaces, causing downstream erosion and straining municipal sewer systems. Though, permeable interlocking concrete pavers are capable of eliminating runoff. Due to the molded-in drain holes or extra-wide joints of these pavers, water flows directly into the soil, recharging groundwater and trapping contaminants. The pavers demand an extra-thick base with carefully graded crushed stone to ensure optimal drainage.
