All About Pavers.


Interlocking pave rs are a very popular surfacing materials for patios, driveways, and walks. They are easy to install and when set on a firm         properly prepared sub base, they will hold up to foot traffic and heavy loads under many different weather conditions, without sinking, cracking, or shifting.



With them being set in sand, the pave rs 'flex' with changing temperatures, soil saturation levels, conditions and loads, rather than cracking as poured concrete patio sometimes will.



There are two basic types of pave rs and they are brick pave rs and concrete pave rs. Now, if I have already gotten my pave rs, I can go ahead and lay out two rows on a flat surface to represent the width and  overall surface from side to side will help to remove water runoff on both patios and walkways.


There are tools that I will need to set pave rs. They are garden hose, garden rake, hand tamper, a stiff-bristled push broom, square nose spade, standard spade, carpenter's level. a line level, tape measure, rubber mallet, and a mason's line.

So if I am wanting to have a patio or walkway done at my house, using pave rs are easier than using other materials. So as long as I have all of the tools needed for the job, and all of the materials that I will need I can have a new patio or a new walkway.
