Q: Do you need to put anything under pavers?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you&rsquo;ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it&rsquo;s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of asphalt paving over other materials?

• <div><p>Asphalt is cost-effective, quick to install, and offers longevity with proper maintenance.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of a resin driveway?

• <div><p>Compared to options like concrete, asphalt, and pavers, resin driveways are far more flexible. As a result, they are more durable against chipping and cracking. Their bonded surface allows them to withstand extreme cold and heat without succumbing to the warping or cracking caused by freeze-thaw cycles. In addition, resin driveways are easy to clean and maintain.</p></div>

Q: What is causing my pavers to crack?

• <div><p>While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.</p></div>
