"I live on an embankment on Rice Creek in New Brighton and I wanted to brick pave my entire backyard . Knowing it would be an expensive project I needed to find the right team to get the job done correctly and the way we envisioned it. We consulted with 7 different contractors to share our vision and get their ideas on how to get the most of our area. Most contractors gave me their idea and opinions that did not quite match the design I had in my mind. Tom was amazing from the beginning and really seemed to understand what I was looking for. I still remember when he said "you want your entire back yard paved. I can do that for you." I began to believe he knew what we wanted and how he was going to make it all happen. Long story short he started the project one month ahead of time and had it completed amazingly fast despite the challenges of the project. which included a huge retaining wall above Rice Creek and a firepit on the edge overlooking the creek. With the excellence and efficiency of the team I was confident I had found the right people to do this most cherished home improvement. I wish I could show pictures of the amazing job Tom and his team did for my family and me. For anyone out there looking for a project to be completed please do yourself a favor and have Tom with Maltese Contracting take a look at your job and vision. I am confident you will not be disappointed."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.

Pavers will crack in a fire pit if they are made of the wrong materials. Be sure to use kiln-fired brick paver stones when building your backyard fire pit. You can also purchase a fire pit project kit, which will sometimes come with fire-safe pavers, to help you avoid the guessing game of buying pavers separately.

A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.

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.

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.
