The term "interlocking" stems from the installation process. When pavers are installed correctly in correspondence with the bedding sand, edge restraint, and joint, it should allow the pieces to work together and appear as a unified, flexible pavement.

Pavers are placed over a leveling course, which is over a compacted aggregate base. Once pavers are placed and restrained, coarse, angular sand is swept into the joints and over the pavers. The sweeping process, in some cases, may need to be repeated before the full interlock can be achieved. However, after compaction, the project is complete, and the pavers can be used.

The paver manufacturer is responsible for designs. However aesthetically pleasing these pavers may be, specially-designed pavers are more prone to splitting or cracking, especially given the nature of Michigan's harsh temperatures during the winter.

If installed properly, pavers will out-perform concrete slabs and asphalt, though specifics vary.

The average home patio can be installed within one-to-two days. Because pavers are mortarless, excess work and cleanup isn't a factor.

Over time, you may see a slight change in coloration due to sunlight and other external factors. However, pavers are made with the highest-quality pigment, so you shouldn't see a change for a very long time.

Absolutely. We can blend new pavers to match your old ones, and pick up where we left off with edge restraints and base-setting supplies.

Pavers are made to be durable and stand the test of time. However, sealant is entirely a matter of personal preference. Sealing your pavers could reduce weeds and enhance color, but it could make your surface slippery when wet.

Stains can be removed with cleaning products. If a single paver is stained or damage, it can simply be removed and replaced.

Yes, but this is not the preferred method. Due to the raised surface required for installation, you should not install pavers over concrete if doorways are involved. Additionally, if your concrete rises or falls with extreme temperature, your pavers will do the same.

The white film you are seeing is efflorescence, and it is commonly found on masonry products. If it appears randomly, rest assured knowing it will eventually fade.
