It is widely regarded that wooden decks are very maintenance intensive. This is a fact, unfortunately, that most people find highly objectionable. Secondly, wooden decks have the not so desirable quality of being quite commonplace. As for interlocking pavers, settling of the installed pavement and rampant growth of weeds are two characteristics that have always been vehemently criticized.

The joints between pavers eliminate cracking that is normal to conventional asphalt and concrete pavements. Yes, if necessary. That is an item we will discuss with you when we come out to give you an estimate.

Stamped Concrete is the process of pressing decorative or natural impressions into wet concrete using rubber stamps. This is a great way to add a unique flair to your , pool deck, patio, walkway or walls. There are many benefits to using stamped concrete. Concrete is one of the most durable building materials available for paving, which comes in handy in high traffic areas such as driveways and walkways.

The components include a base, bedding sand, concrete pavers with sand in their joints, and an edge restraint to contain the pavers at the perimeter.

StreetPrint? can be installed very quickly with relatively little disruption, so it is usually much less costly and disruptive than concrete alternatives. StreetPrint? uses asphalt as its base. Asphalt is a flexible surface that is more likely to accept shifting due to weather extremes and can resist cracking commonly associated with other paving systems. Vehicle braking/accelerating and steering will not shift or break StreetPrint?, as often happens with brick pavers.

Concrete is an inexpensive and durable option, but it will crack. Pavers are more expensive but last longer, provide more of an interest from a design perspective, and are easily repaired if earth shifting occurs. Stone creates a beautiful and natural look but is the most expensive option. Many stone applications can be sandset, which is flexible to ground shifting. Occasionally stone requires a mortar setting, which is less tolerant of ground shifting.

In Europe, they have seen pavers last over 50 years. This is much longer than other pavements under normal residential use.

There is no way that we can prevent oil from dripping on concrete pavers. Yet, because pavers are more dense than regular poured concrete, they will be easier to clean if the stain is cleaned soon after it happens. If you are working around your paver patio, walkway, or driveway with paint, cement, or mortar and should accidentally spill this on your paver surface, you should clean it off right away before it has a chance to dry. Otherwise, it will stain your pavers.

You will never see a crack running through a paver patio or across a paver walk, and of course pavers offer more design diversity. Back to top

Concrete pavers offer more design options (more colors and sizes), whereas clay pavers offer less maintenance. The cost is about the same. Concrete pavers tend to lay a bit snugger, making tighter joints and a more consistently flat surface. Clay pavers however hold their color much the use of chemical sealers. Although the concrete is died straight through the paver, the die still has a tendency to wash off the top over time.

Sealing is not essential in many applications but it offers some benefits like making spills and stains easier to remove. Liquid sealers are applied after the pavers are installed and are cleaned. Once applied, the sealers soak into the concrete and into the joints. The sealers in the joints help keep the joint sand in place and prevent weeds and ants, and sealers are essential for areas around swimming pools.

For non-vehicular applications such as embankment stabilization, the maximum slope is determined by the angle of repose of the bedding sand, typically around 35 to 38 degrees. For vehicular traffic, the highest slope in use is 18% (about 10 degrees) in a street in Colma, California. Special consideration is given to the drainage of the bedding sand at the bottom of the slope.

Stamped concrete is merely concrete slabs with a pattern stamped into the surface. They are susceptible to the same problems of a concrete slab sidewalk or patio. Cracking due to freeze/thaw cycles may happen with a stamped concrete patio. Paving stones can be dismantled and repaired with the same product being used on the surface.

Absolutely, Stamped Concrete can be found throughout the world at many distinguished hotels, casinos, resorts, etc. A famous example, for instance, would be Disney World.

Traditionally, color is broadcast onto the surface by hand followed by assimilation into the surface using hand tools. Stamped Concrete installed by Concrete by Design is taken a step further by mixing most colors directly inside the concrete. The result is Stamped Concrete that is colored throughout from top to bottom. Although certain select colors have to be applied using the traditional method, the majority of colors can be mixed inside.

When you want to mount the fence atop your concrete pool apron, for example, you can use floor flanges on the posts. These are bolted down using lag bolts and anchors which are available at any hardware store. You'll need four 3/8" x 2" bolts per post. It is not unusual to have an angle other than a 90 degree corner. You can use a corner post or a line post, depending on the angle. Basically, anything wider than 90 degrees, use a line post. Less than 90 degrees, use a corner post.
