Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</p></div>

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: How often do pavers need to be resealed?

• <div><p>Pavers should be resealed at least once every three to five years. Pavers that are exposed to excessive foot traffic, wear and tear, or volatile weather may benefit from being resealed more frequently. Consider resealing pavers whenever you notice stains or discoloration beginning to form.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a brick or stone driveway myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures proper leveling, drainage, and durability.</p></div>

Q: What are the main alternatives to recycled asphalt for my driveway?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:</p><ul><li><p><b>Permeable pavement:</b> This material is sometimes called &ldquo;pervious&rdquo; or &ldquo;porous&rdquo; pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. </p></li><li><p><b>Gravel:</b> Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won&rsquo;t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.</p></li><li><p><b>Natural stone pavers:</b> Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there&rsquo;s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

We were extremely happy with the work done for us by Miller Hardscapes. They created a retaining wall and patio area that was exactly what we wanted. Work was done within the expected time frame and they kept the job site cleaned up nicely at the end of each workday. Would highly recommend...

The mulching is so nice. It really sets off our yard. I am so thrilled with the pavers that were installed. The guys were so easy to work with. If I suggested a change, they were very co-operative about doing it. I wanted all corners rounded instead of square (which would have been easier for...
