What are the main alternatives to recycled asphalt for my driveway?

• <div><p>If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:</p><ul><li><p><b>Permeable pavement:</b> This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. </p></li><li><p><b>Gravel:</b> Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.</p></li><li><p><b>Natural stone pavers:</b> Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you stick pavers to concrete?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">pavers over an existing concrete slab</a>, you don&rsquo;t need to affix the majority of the pavers, but you should use a polyurethane-based adhesive on the border pavers. Polyurethane will expand and contract with temperature changes, which will help keep the pavers firmly in place throughout the year. It&rsquo;s also strong enough to stand up to foot traffic. You&rsquo;ll use polymeric sand between the non-border pavers to keep them in place and prevent shifting.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</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: What are permeable pavers?

• <div><p>If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers. </p></div>

I do not think they cleaned the pavers proper to start. I have had pavers done many times in the past with other companies but this was the worse. I have other operators look at it and they said is was verry poor. I paid the most that I have ever and got the worse job.
