What are the cons of paver driveways?

• <div><p>Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">asphalt and concrete driveways</a>. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.</p></div>

What is an alternative to a concrete driveway apron?

• <div><p>Concrete is often the default material for a driveway apron, and many local building codes may require this. If you’re not restricted to concrete, however, you can consider alternative <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-apron-ideas.htm">driveway apron ideas</a>, such as asphalt, pavers, or gravel. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stamp-concrete.htm">stamp the concrete</a> for an interesting texture, add color to the concrete for a little extra character, or add a swirled trowel finish to your concrete driveway apron. </p></div>

Q: What is an example of permeable paving?

• <div><p>An example of permeable paving is a set of cinder blocks or natural stone pavers with room inside for natural materials, such as gravel, sand, or grass. You can also design these pavers with brick or plastic tiles.</p><p>In addition to these pavers, permeable pavement can be obtained by using a highly porous material, such as pervious concrete or pervious asphalt.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Most professional permeable paver installations take between <b>2 and 7 days</b>, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Small patios or walkways may only take a few days, while large driveways with deep base layers, edging, and drainage components can take a full week or more. Weather, access to the site, and whether demolition is needed also affect the timeline.</p></div>

Q: How do I fix pavers that are uneven but not sunken?

• <div><p>If pavers are uneven but not sunken, lift the affected bricks and check the bedding sand underneath. In many cases, simply smoothing out or adjusting the sand is enough to level them. Add or remove small amounts as needed, then press the pavers back into place and tap them with a mallet until they sit evenly with the surrounding surface.</p></div>

I haven't use them because it was a little too much. I don't want to spend that much money. They were very nice. The price range that I got was over my head. They were very responsive.

Elmore Enterprises did and excellent job of removing a very large tree from my yard. Not only was the tree cleaned up and taken care of but the whole yard looked like nothing was ever there. Very professional and punctual. I would recommend Elmore Enterprises to anyone.
