Q: What is the difference between hardscape and paving?

• <div><p>Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features&mdash;like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones&mdash;will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.</p></div>

Q: How long does recycled asphalt take to harden?

• <div><p>It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It&rsquo;s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. </p></div>

Q: Is permeable paving expensive?

• <div><p>Yes, permeable paving is expensive. For driveways, expect to pay up to <b>$70 per square foot</b>; for patios, permeable paving can cost up to <b>$30</b> <b>per square foot</b>. Costs will depend on the type of material you choose, plus the standard labor rate in your area.</p></div>

Q: What tool is best to cut pavers?

• <div><p>The best tool to cut pavers is a hammer and chisel. These tools are best for inexperienced DIYers, as they're affordable and don't require special skills. If you're comfortable using power tools, an angle grinder or a circular saw with a masonry cutting wheel will make quick work of your paver cutting project.</p></div>

Q: How long do permeable pavers last?

• <div><p>Permeable pavers typically last between <b>20 and 40 years</b>, depending on the material, installation quality, and how well they&rsquo;re maintained. Interlocking concrete pavers and stone systems tend to last the longest, especially when built on a properly compacted base. Regular cleaning to prevent joint clogging can significantly extend their lifespan.</p></div>
