Frequently Asked Questions
Questions and Answers
Why Choose Pavers over Concrete?
Paving Stones are much stronger than concrete due to the high compression in the manufacturing process, in fact, it is typically 3 times the compression pounds per square inch. This keeps your paving stone from cracking and makes it less likely to chip. Paving Stones also supported on a bedding layer that allows it to fluctuate ever so slightly, making it the best option for your high traffic areas like driveways.
Are Pavers Permeable?
Short answer, Yes but some pavers are designed to be permeable whereas others while still allowing about 8% of water to go through are considered non-permeable.
