Interlocking Pavers – The Best Choice for Patios and Driveways
At some point, every homeowner realizes it’s time to replace the driveway or replace or add a new patio to the outdoor living space. After that decision is made, there is a myriad of other decisions to make. And this alone can break a homeowner’s enthusiasm and halt the entire home improvement action.
That doesn’t have to be your experience. If you’re considering replacing – or if you have made the decision to replace – your current driveway or patio, the most important decision you need to make can be resolved easily for you.
All you need is a basic education on which type will be most practical, appealing, appreciated, and valuable. And that comes down to three options – asphalt poured concrete or interlocking pavers.
If you want to design and color choices, elegance, low maintenance, added value, and longevity, your choice will be interlocking pavers. Let’s take a look at the major advantages that interlocking pavers have over poured concrete or asphalt.
They last a long time.
As long as the professional contractor you hire correctly installs your interlocking pavers, they generally have a longer lifespan than either concrete or asphalt. Granted, there will be some maintenance required over the years, and maybe even a repair here and there, but overall, they’ll endure for many years.
They’re affordable.
Based on their durability and longevity, coupled with their visual appeal, interlocking pavers are a great value. More affordable than other presumed “high end” options like natural stone, interlocking pavers are a cost-effective, added value upgrade.
They’re easy to take care of.
You have the ability to keep your interlocking pavers looking beautiful for many years. As mentioned above, in general, they last longer than poured concrete or asphalt. And you can add to their lifespan and luster simply by doing the following:
Buy a power washer so you can get rid of any spills or stains that occur as they occur.
Remove debris of any kind that can get wedged between the stones so there’s more space for the polymeric sand. This is what gives the interlocking pavers their stability.
Always have a bag of polymeric sand available so that if you should ever see a gap in any of the pavers, you can quickly fill it.
They elevate your home’s ambiance, image projection, and value
It’s always gratifying to have a beautiful home that others admire also. Interlocking pavers are stunning to look at, yet they also enhance other features of your home and property. And since they come in a variety of colors and designs, you can be assured your interlocking paver driveway will enhance and elevate your home’s exterior and landscaping.
When anyone pulls into an interlocking paver driveway, the driveway is noticed and appreciated. This is especially true should you ever put your house on the market. Not only will your interlocking pavers driveway and/or patio attract more prospective buyers, but it will also add actual value to your home.
This all shows that in addition to being affordable, practical, and gratifying, interlocking pavers are also a wise investment.
