Benefits of Driveway Pavers

Paver stones are one of the most versatile landscaping materials out there. Pavers can be used for patios, fire pits, retaining walls, and pool decks, and they are also a great choice for driveways. Paver stones are a cost-effective, durable driveway option with excellent curb appeal. For these reasons and more, driveway pavers are a smart investment for your home:

Aesthetic Appeal

Pavers can be made of brick, concrete, or natural stone to match the aesthetic of your home. They can be large or small and can be placed in any number of patterns, including herringbone, basketweave, running bond, and circular. The result is a beautiful driveway that adds unique character to your home.

Durability

Concrete or asphalt driveways often develop cracks due to weather fluctuations. Since pavers are flexible and can move with the ground, driveways made with paving stones stay intact no matter what the weather. Pavers also handle heavy loads better than concrete or asphalt and won’t deteriorate as quickly. Paver driveways can last anywhere from 25 to 50 years, depending on the type of paver, maintenance, and installation quality.

Low Maintenance

When concrete or asphalt driveways develop cracks, they need to be cleaned, filled, and sealed. Often, you can still see the crack, which makes the driveway appear disjointed. However, if a paver needs repair, remove the damaged one, add sand if needed, and replace it with a new one. This saves time and money and keeps your driveway looking like new.

Eco-Friendly

One of the most notable benefits of a paver driveway is its permeability. When it rains, water seeps through the joints of pavers, and the ground absorbs it. This helps reduce stormwater runoff and the amount of pollutants (for example, de-icing materials or vehicle contaminants) in water.

Increased Property Value

A paver driveway greatly enhances the curb appeal of your home, which adds a real boost to your market value. A well-maintained and attractive driveway provides a good first impression to potential homebuyers. And once they learn about the other benefits of a paver driveway, they’ll like it even more.
