Looking to spruce up your property’s exterior or enhance its curb appeal? A simple change like adding paver stones can work wonders in enhancing your property and making it look very updated and attractive, whether you are looking to host the best outdoor events this summer or put your house on the real estate market.
Concrete paver stones are very popular and commonly used because not only are they easy to install, but also an affordable option. Made of cement, sand, and water mix, it is poured into moulds that take the formation of the desired design that is desired. They are very commonly used in construction and landscaping projects for surfaces in outdoor spaces like walkways, patios, and driveways. The concrete paver stones are created to be laid together in an interlocked fashion, forming one solid print or flat grid-like structure. Due to their concrete composition, they can withstand heavy foot traffic, all types of weather conditions, yet are very easy to maintain as they are also stain-resistant.
Concrete paver stones can be designed and created to come in a variety of colours, shapes, and sizes. Popular shapes include circular designs, rectangles, squares, and octagons, while intricate or smooth patterns can also be added as final finishes for textures containing basket weave designs and random patterns catered to the design of the property. The designs almost resemble bricks having similar style, size, and volume that are set and laid together like conventional bricks used in buildings and construction. Although the paver stones are connected and laid flat together, the gaps in between the stones are often filled in with gravel or sand to improve the quality of the work done. When done correctly, paver stones also allow for good water drainage and do not allow water or sediments to be pooled for any type of water accumulation or flooding.
As they are made of concrete and are designed to be long-lasting and durable, they are resistant to any type of fading, cracking, or chipping, making them a reliable landscaping investment for the property. When it comes to the installation process, a stable base is prepared consisting of gravel or sand, and then the paver stone bricks are laid out and secured in place following the required pattern and interlocking them in place. This is followed by adding additional sediment filler of sand and gravel to fill in any gaps and spaces in between the joints.
As they are low in maintenance, they make for a popular choice for those wanting a good hardscaping or landscaping job done, but all without worrying about the costs and efforts of maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep. Many landlords, Airbnb owners, and commercial establishments find concrete paver stones to be of great value in not just making the property seem attractive, but also keeping the outdoor area as-is once installed, without worrying about it getting damaged or regularly spending money on maintaining it.
