Here, the hardscaping experts at Decorative Creations in Matthews, NC, share a pavers guide to help you as you prepare for your upcoming project.

Common Questions About Hardscaping

Can I Install Pavers Around a Pool?

Pavers are great for pool applications. The textured surface is non- slippery yet comfortable enough to walk on with bare feet.

Will Weeds Grow Between Paving Stones?

Hardscaping contractors use what is known as polymer sand between pavers. Once the sand is placed between the pavers and watered down, it forms a tight barrier that holds the pavers in place and prevents weeds from growing.

Can Damaged Pavers be Replaced?

Damaged pavers can easily be replaced in a matter of minutes. Usually, a screwdriver is all that is needed to pry the damaged paver out of place. Once removed, you pop a new one in its place, and you will hardly be able to tell the difference.

How Do I Maintain My New Paver Patio?

Regularly sweep your patio with a brush to remove excess debris. It is especially important to clean leaves off the patio when it rains as the wet leaves can stain the pavers. Also, use a hose to rinse your pavers of any dirt left behind by the broom.

Armed with a bit of knowledge, you can make the best decision on a new paver patio installation for your landscape.
