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>

Q: How do you adhere pavers to concrete?

• <div><p>To adhere pavers to concrete, you can use either mortar or a concrete-specific adhesive. For border pavers, a polyurethane-based adhesive is a good choice as it expands and contracts with temperature changes, keeping them firmly in place. For the non-border pavers, polymeric sand is used between the joints to prevent shifting. In most cases, it is also recommended to lay a permeable sand layer below the pavers to ensure proper stability and drainage. Before starting, always take the proper preparatory steps for a professional result.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you&rsquo;ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.</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: Can I lay pavers on top of grass?

• <div><p>Yes, but it's best to kill off the grass with solarization and remove the dead plant matter before laying down the pavers. This helps limit the chance of your pavers shifting as the dead plant matter decomposes.</p></div>

Great service crew, all work done in one day, they put tarps down on the ground all around my home to make sure everything was covered up and they run magnets over your lawn to make sure that all the extra nails are picked up. I was very impressed by they completed the installation.
