Pavers
Pavers are one of the most versatile and durable options for enhancing your outdoor living space. Whether you want to create a stunning patio, a cozy fire pit, a sleek driveway, or a charming walkway, pavers can help you achieve your dream landscape.
At LA Hardscape, we offer a wide range of pavers to suit any style, budget, and project. We work with the best manufacturers in the industry to provide you with high-quality pavers that are made from concrete, clay, porcelain, or natural stone. We also offer permeable pavers that allow water to drain through them, reducing runoff and erosion.
How to choose the right pavers for your project?
Some of the benefits of choosing pavers for your hardscape project include:
- Beauty: Pavers come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, giving you endless design possibilities. You can mix and match different pavers to create patterns, borders, accents, or focal points. You can also choose pavers that complement your home’s architecture and landscape.
- Durability: Pavers are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy traffic, and wear and tear. They are resistant to cracking, chipping, fading, and staining. They also have interlocking joints that provide stability and prevent shifting or settling.
- Easy maintenance: Pavers are easy to clean and maintain. You can simply sweep or hose them down regularly to keep them looking fresh. If a paver gets damaged, you can easily replace it without affecting the rest of the surface.
- Eco-friendly: Pavers are made from natural or recycled materials that are environmentally friendly. Permeable pavers also help conserve water and prevent pollution by allowing rainwater to infiltrate the soil instead of flowing into storm drains.
How to install pavers?
Installing pavers is not a difficult task if you have the right tools and materials. However, it does require some planning, preparation, and patience. Here are the basic steps to install pavers:
- Measure and mark the area where you want to install the pavers. Use stakes and string to outline the shape and size of the surface.
- Dig out the soil within the marked area to a depth of about 8 inches. Make sure the base is level and compacted.
- Lay down a layer of gravel about 4 inches thick over the base. Use a plate compactor or a hand tamper to compact the gravel.
- Lay down a layer of sand about 1 inch thick over the gravel. Use a screed board or a level to smooth out the sand.
- Start laying down the pavers from one corner of the surface. Follow the pattern you have chosen and leave small gaps between each paver for joint sand.
- Cut any pavers that need to fit around curves or edges using a wet saw or a chisel and hammer.
- Sweep joint sand over the surface of the pavers until all the gaps are filled. Use a plate compactor or a hand tamper to settle the sand into the joints.
- Sweep off any excess sand from the surface of the pavers and enjoy your new hardscape!
How to install pavers?
With so many options available, how do you choose the right pavers for your project? Here are some factors to consider:
- Purpose: What is the main function of your hardscape project? Is it for entertaining guests, relaxing with family, parking vehicles, or enhancing curb appeal? Different types of pavers have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose. For example, concrete pavers are strong and durable for driveways, while porcelain pavers are elegant and slip-resistant for pool decks.
- Style: What is the overall look and feel you want to achieve with your hardscape project? Do you prefer a modern, rustic, classic, or eclectic style? Different types of pavers have different aesthetic qualities that can match or contrast with your style. For example, brick pavers are warm and traditional for patios, while flagstone pavers are natural and irregular for walkways.
- Budget: How much are you willing to spend on your hardscape project? Different types of pavers have different costs depending on the material, size, shape, color, and installation. For example, marble pavers are expensive and luxurious for pool decks, while rubber pavers are cheap and flexible for playgrounds.
How to maintain pavers?
Maintaining pavers is not a hard task if you follow some simple tips. Here are some ways to keep your pavers looking great for years:
- Clean: Regularly sweep or hose down your pavers to remove dirt, dust, leaves, or debris that can accumulate on them. You can also use a mild detergent and a soft brush to scrub away any stains or spills that may occur. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
- Seal: Optionally, you can apply a sealer to your pavers every few years to protect them from fading, staining, or weathering. Choose a sealer that is suitable for your type of pavers and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and curing.
- Repair: Occasionally, you may need to repair or replace a damaged paver that has cracked, chipped, or sunk. To do this, simply pry out the damaged paver with a screwdriver or a pry bar and replace it with a new one. Refill the joint sand around the new paver and compact it.
