Frequently Asked Questions

 Interlocking concrete and precast concrete pavers are made out of cement and rock materials known as fine and course aggregate.  The volume of aggregate is modified to determine concrete paver finishes and color pigment is added before concrete pavers are poured into various standard shapes and sizes. 

 Pavers — are made to last a lifetime, although, in time they will fade and begin to wear and show aggregate. Keeping them sealed will help prevent natural wear and fading.

Concrete Pavers

Smooth Squared Pavers – These special order upgraded pavers have a smooth surface and straight corners giving a modern look. These pavers have very crisp top corners, we do have to order more for waste as it is very noticeable if the edges are chipped. You should be aware that you may need to purchase more pavers if needed due to damages in transit.

Smooth Pillowed Pavers- Pavers have a smooth surface and straight pillowed corners giving a casual timeless look. These pavers are the most popular and come in a small trio size and Mega Trio size.

 The Romans are accredited for having built the world's first - and longest enduring - cobblestone superhighways that still endure today. 

 Natural stone or concrete pavers add timeless appeal to any residential or commercial property, adding tangible value to your home or commercial property. 

 Efflorescence is a natural process that occurs with almost all concrete and masonry products. Pavers exhibiting signs of efflorescence are NOT defective and since efflorescence is a natural process it is not covered under warranty.

Efflorescence is created when the calcium oxide naturally found in the cement mixes with water to form calcium hydroxide and then is leached to the surface of the paver where it comes in contact with the carbon dioxide in the air and then forms calcium carbonate which forms the white, chalky residue referred to as efflorescence.

Eventually efflorescence will disappear on its own, but if you wish to hasten the process then use an Efflorescence Cleaner

 Applying bleach to a paver job is not recommended. Common dish soap can be used in conjunction with a light pressure wash. 

 No, muriatic acid will damage the surface of the pavers and cause pitting to appear. 

 Over time all pavers will begin to fade if left unsealed.
