Everything You Need to Know About Brick Pavers
Decorative Orlando pavers are becoming more popular as people are phasing out the use of concrete, particularly in at home projects. If you are looking to install a decorative paver walkway or area in your home, contact Bedrock Orlando.
It’s important to know that pavers have their own unique characteristics and before you do all of this hard work, it’s important to note some of them.
- Pavers have slight color variations: Even if you pick a specific color, you may see variations in the bricks. That is because there are some differences in a manufacturer’s raw materials.
- Pavers might “pit”: While the concrete is curing, small pits may form in your Orlando pavers and is a common occurrence.
- Pavers may chip or crack: Just like humans, pavers are known for experiencing stress. While they are infrequent, know that stress cracks may occur, and will not have any effect on the performance of the paver.
- Weeds – Maybe you make the paver to get rid of grass and weeds, but you still see some coming through the pavers. Don’t stress, it will happen. You can use weed killer, or pull the weeds from the pavers.
Now that you know about some of the possible Orlando paver nuisances, it’s time to get to the fun part – picking out the color and size of your bricks.
