How do you lay pavers?

• <div><p>Whether you decide to DIY paver installation or want to hire a pro, it’s smart to understand the process. First, you’ll need to prepare the area by clearing away grass and dirt. Next, you’ll add the paver base of gravel and sand before laying the pavers on top. You may need to cut pavers to fit your space or the landscaping design and add edging stones.</p></div>

• <div><p>Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-lay-pavers-on-grass.htm">lay pavers on grass</a>. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.</p></div>

How long does it take to build a driveway?

• <div><p>While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-terms-know.htm">parts of the driveway</a>. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.</p></div>

Q: Can I retrofit my existing driveway?

• <div><p>Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.</p></div>

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>

Overall, pleased with the initial experience. However, 6 months later the pavers and stairs developed cracks--two of which are deep. Calls to the contractor were not returned. I was forced to make repairs on my own to protect the integrity of the project.
