Get matched with top pavers and hardscaping pros in East Haven, CT

Q: What is the minimum angle for a driveway?

• <div><p>Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope&mdash;anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway&rsquo;s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.</p></div>

Q: Do you wet the sand before laying pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don&rsquo;t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.</p></div>

Q: How do materials and design choices influence the cost of installing interlocking pavers?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and site preparation requirements.</p></div>

Q: Is stamped concrete more budget-friendly than pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, stamped concrete, which costs an average of <b>$12 per square foot</b>, tends to be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-choose-pavers-over-stamped-concrete.htm">more affordable than laying pavers</a>. This is especially true if you&rsquo;re comparing stamped concrete to brick pavers, which cost between <b>$8 to $50 per square foot</b>. With the right design choices, you can closely mimic the look of brick using stamped concrete. </p></div>

Q: How long do interlocking pavers last?

• <div><p>Interlocking pavers can last 50 years or more, but you&rsquo;ll need to keep up with some basic routine maintenance to get the most out of them. This includes regularly applying a sealant and keeping up with any weeds that start to grow within them. Avoid metal shovels in the winter, and only salt the pavers ahead of snow and ice if the pavers are part of a necessary walking path&mdash;salt and other chemical-based de-icers can take a toll on your pavers over time.</p></div>
