Is permeable paving beneficial?

• <div><p>Permeable paving is a good option for a lot of reasons. It can help prevent flooding, keeps harmful chemicals from polluting our water, and can divert water away from your home’s foundation. Plus, it can add a rustic aesthetic to your outdoor area, might prevent pests who breed in water, and may even qualify for tax rebates.</p></div>

Q: What tool is best to cut pavers?

• <div><p>The best tool to cut pavers is a hammer and chisel. These tools are best for inexperienced DIYers, as they're affordable and don't require special skills. If you're comfortable using power tools, an angle grinder or a circular saw with a masonry cutting wheel will make quick work of your paver cutting project.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete cheaper than pavers?

• <div><p>On average, concrete costs less than pavers for the same project. Standard broom-finished concrete costs from <b>$2 to $15 per square foot</b>. Stamped concrete costs between <b>$8 to $28 per square foot</b>. On the other hand, pavers cost from $8 to $50 per square foot. For any of these materials, the cost depends on which concrete finish or paver you choose. Keep in mind that the layout complexity, amount of site preparation, and location factor into the cost, too.</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: Can you walk or drive on pavers after sealing them?

• <div><p>You can walk on newly sealed pavers as long as they&rsquo;ve had enough time to dry and cure&mdash;typically after 24 hours for patios and walkways. Even so, don&rsquo;t rush it. Humidity, temperature, and the type of sealant you use can stretch that window up to 72 hours. Rushing it can leave footprints or even damage the finish, especially if the surface hasn&rsquo;t fully hardened. For driveways, wait at least three full days before parking or driving over them. Always check your sealant label for the most accurate timeline, since not all products cure the same way. </p></div>
