There are a lot of reasons people install pavers. There are also a lot of reasons that people choose not to. Regardless of your preference, you should base your decision on facts. Below, we debunk several myths that may be affecting your paver choices.
- Myth: Pavers need a lot of weeding to keep them nice.
Fact: Almost every surface of your landscape is susceptible to weeds in some way. This includes solid surfaces like your asphalt driveway and concrete walkway. Pavers do have joints between them. However, using today’s technology, pavers come with a weed barrier that prevents this from occurring. Using polymeric sand creates a solid bond between your pavers. This helps to discourage weeds. In addition, you can apply a paver sealant that will further repel growth.
- Myth: Pavers shift overtime and lead to expensive repairs.
Fact: An improperly installed paver structure can shift. This is usually due to an improperly laid foundation layer. This layer is extremely important to get right. (This is exactly why many homeowners opt for hiring a professional instead of doing it himself or herself.) A poorly built foundation can lead to disaster. Hiring a reputable professional, however, can ensure that you have a quality foundation. This leads to a reduction in almost all issues that can plague a poorly laid paver structure. (In fact, routine maintenance is relatively inexpensive and easy if your pavers are correctly installed.)
- Myth: Pavers look beautiful but they do not last.
Fact: Quality pavers are manufactured to last a lifetime. In fact, many manufacturers offer a lifetime guarantee on their pavers. Having a paver structure installed professionally can also go a long way in the durability of your creation. A professional has access to paver choices you likely do not. They also understand what pavers work best in your environment and in support of your intended activities. Does this mean that pavers cannot be damaged? No. However, a quality paver installation company will likely repair or replace any damaged pavers free of charge while under warranty.
- Myth: Pavers are way too expensive.
Fact: Installing pavers can be expensive. Cost often depends on the size of the area, type of paver you selected, and how complex or ornamental installation will be. However, pavers also help increases your curb appeal and property value. This means that your investment has a high probability of being returned to you once you sell or rent your property.
