Why choose a paver driveway?

Today’s homeowners have plenty of options when it comes to driveway design. Black asphalt, plain gray or stamped concrete can all a driveway make – but, without a doubt, pavers are the pinnacle of driveway design. The perfect combination of durability, aesthetics, and long-term value – pavers add style to every step. We stand behind the quality of our work with an industry-leading warranty.

Paver driveways age with elegance and grace – no facelifts needed here

The number one stress on outdoor surfaces isn’t cars, SUVs, footsteps, or the sun. It’s the annual cycle of freezing and thawing which causes the earth to swell and contract, and concrete to buckle and crack. Even stamped concrete succumbs to this annual trial, leaving unsightly spiderwebs and mismatched patches.

Pavers (whether they are concrete, brick, stone, or permeable) all weather the freeze-thaw cycle with grace. In the unlikely event that an individual paver breaks, you can always replace it, leaving its neighbors undisturbed. If, over time, this driveway shifts and becomes uneven, the structure can easily be repaired by removing individual pavers, re-leveling, and then reinstalling the same pavers. Simple. Easy. No mud-jacking, jack hammering, or ugly patching necessary.

The value of long-term durability and permeability

While the up-front cost of pavers is higher than an asphalt or concrete driveway, the long-term value over their entire lifespan is unquestionable. Because they are relatively easy to repair, a properly maintained paver driveway can last between 25 and 50 years! The initial cost of an asphalt or concrete driveway may be low, but those initial estimates often don’t take into account the labor-intensive and expensive process of breaking up and hauling away those surfaces when it’s time for a new driveway.

Besides being gorgeous, pavers can help control toxic runoff. Water can seep between individual pavers, entering the soil below instead of washing chemicals onto the street and down the drain. Permeable pavers are specifically engineered to facilitate this process. With a traditional concrete slab driveway, water will collect oil and carry it into the street and storm drains, eventually entering local lakes and streams.

Durable, aesthetically versatile, and easily customizable - a paver driveway is the ideal solution to enhance the practicality and visual appeal of the front yard.
