Can you use pea gravel as a paver base?

• <div><p>Pea gravel can be used as a base for a paver patio, but it’s not the preferred choice. Because it is small and round, pea gravel moves much more easily than other base options, like crushed stone, so it won’t keep your pavers in place properly. </p><p>If you do opt for pea gravel, compact it well and use an additional binding agent (like stone dust) to keep everything from shifting.</p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</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>

Q: How do I maintain the appearance and integrity of interlocking pavers?

• <div><p>Regular sweeping, sealing, and removing stains or weeds maintain appearance and structural integrity. Immediate attention to any movement or gap development is critical.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for completing an interlocking paver installation project?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on area size and design intricacy.</p></div>
