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 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>

Do you wet the sand before laying pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.</p></div>

All In One did a terrific job putting pavers down on our Merritt Island home. It only took 2.5 days end to end - tearing up the old concrete driveway, regrading, putting down the stone base, and installing the new pavers. The work crew were hard working and highly skilled. We are totally happy...
