Benefits of Columbia SC Concrete Pavers
for your Driveway, Patio or Walkway
Interlocking Columbia SC Concrete Patio
Pavers, Driveway Pavers and Walkway
Pavers
Traditional concrete
Traditional concrete, asphalt or gravel
driveways pale in comparison to the
beauty of driveway pavers.
There
are many benefits to installing concrete
pavers that make them the best value
even when compared to cobblestone,
stamped concrete, or clay pavers.
Concrete Pavers
Columbia SC Concrete pavers come in a
wide variety of surface finishes,
colors, and shapes, as well as laying
patterns to compliment the architectural
style of your home. Clay pavers mainly
come in shades of red and have a limited
number of shapes available.

"DP and ASSOCIATES did a
fantastic job on our driveway. I feel
like we have a new house! All of our
neighbors think it looks fabulous and
that it will increase our resale value."
Concrete Pavers — Stronger than Stamped
Concrete
Columbia SC
Concrete pavers are stronger than
ordinary or stamped concrete which gives
you the assurance that the pavement for
your driveway, patio, or pool deck will
look beautiful for a very long time.
Pavers are easy to clean and require
little maintenance.
Cobblestones
Columbia SC
Cobblestones have wide joints which
encourage weeds and have a surface that
makes walking difficult. Concrete pavers
won't crack like asphalt or
poured-in-place concrete. This is
because each unit has joints that allow
for a small amount of movement without
cracking. Additionally, cobblestone can
be 3-4 times more expensive than
concrete pavers.
Designing with Concrete Pavers
Designers choose pavers styles to harmonize with
the surrounding area. Two colors of pavers can
be combined to provide interest in large areas.
Columbia SC Pavers also come in blended colors
to add interest. Pavers are similar to
other colored concrete, or brick products: shade
variations may occur. This can result from
slight variations in dye lots and the raw
materials used. Install pavers from several
pallets at a time.
Here are some additional design
considerations :
Columbia SC Pavers can be selected to complement
the stone or facade on the building. Oftentimes,
pavers one or two shades lighter than the
structure are selected so as not to compete for
attention with the structure. The use of brick
pavers with wood or stone houses adds warmth.
Pavers can have different textures. When
different textures are combined it adds
interest. Avoid long straight rows of pavers. If
straight runs are required, lay the edge pavers
parallel to the edge of the path and use a
basket weave pattern in the interior. For
Victorian style housed, repeat the curves of the
arched windows and doors by designing curved
edges. For rectangular colonial styles, repeat
the shape by using brick-shaped pavers. For
brick homes, select pavers lighter than the
brick used on the home or use cobblestone.

Columbia SC Brick Patios
Traditional brick patios should be built over a
4-inch concrete slab. The bricks are now set in
a mortar bed and leveled one at a time. Then all
the spaces between the bricks are filled with a
grout. This is can be rather expensive because
one is building two surfaces.
Interlocking Columbia SC brick patios are far
more economical because they are set in sand
instead of in mortar over concrete.
Columbia SC Flagstone Patios
Flagstone is a generic term for thin flat rock
that is used for paving flat surfaces. Flagstone
is named from the location of the quarry it
comes from. Arizona red is a reddish sand stone;
Pennsylvania blue is a grey blue. The cost of
the stone is proportional to the shipping
distance. It is best to pour a concrete slab and
set the stone in mortar on the slab. However, in
the interest of economy the stones can be set
directly over the soil. They will move and shift
over time and will have to be readjusted from
time to time.
Columbia SC Pavestones Patios
The price of pavestones is more affordable today
than before. The techniques have improved and
the skill in laying the stones has been
expanded. When one compares similar aspects of a
stamped concrete patio done correctly costs are
usually less. However when the advantages of
each are compared the paving stones far outweigh
the concrete.
