The waterproofing is added to repel salt water and chlorine penetration and to ensure colour fastness.

Waterproofing products are designed to "prevent" water penetration even under wet conditions such as hydrostatic pressure in the soil after heavy rain storms or spring thaws. Aquaseal's products contain rubber which provides superior waterproofing protection and allows the product to remain flexible even when it dries. This flexibility allows the waterproofing membrane to stretch as the foundation settles and bridge small hairline settlement cracks that can occur in the concrete or block.

Some paving stones interlock based on their shape. Others achieve interlock by the laying pattern. When installed on a proper base with one inch of sand as a setting bed, and proper joint sand placed between the paving stones, all paving stones achieve interlock. No. Color in concrete paving stones does not fade. Dirt, dust and other inert matter can mask the color in the paving stones.

No, you will find that our pricing compares very favorable with other similar quality products on the market, and because our products are 'user friendly' you can actually save money by doing the waterproofing yourself.

Dave Caves Construction assures proper drainage by correct placement of drainage tile with a granular fill. This tile drainage system is natural "gravity flow", not dependent on electricity supplied to a sump pump. Bentonize wateproofing is also applied. We use Bentonize since it is inorganic and stable underground. It will not deteriorate due to acids in the soil. (Further information on our Bentozine waterproofing available upon request.)

The growth of weeds or grass results from seeds blowing into, and then lodging in the joint sand. Weeds do not grow up from the bottom through the quarry process. Controlling these weeds is a simple solution. Mix a pre-emergent weed killer into the joint sand. Should weeds germinate over time, the use of a post emergence weed killer, such as Round-up, can be spot sprayed to control the problem.

Yes. Greenblock recommends waterproofing below grade, but it depends on your local climate and building codes.

Yes, being manufactured in South Florida that was one of our major concerns. Moisture will not penetrate from the outside in.

Unfortunately, yes. There are no barriers to stop any self-proclaimed handyman with a truck, a cell phone and enough money for a yellow page ad, from calling himself a waterproofing contractor. Now that the average teenager can produce a splashy website for pennies, the task of identifying the professionals from the amateurs is even more difficult.

If your home is in an area with well draining soil and you have good quality backfill material, then you can carefully backfill directly against our products. However, if your backfill material contains rocks or stones that could damage the newly applied rubber membrane, then we recommend the use of a product such as our Aqua-Wrap. This 6mil polyethylene sheeting is highly puncture and tear resistant and will prevent rocks from puncturing the waterproofing.

This matter is determined by planning and budget allocations for your area. Reports describing schedules for paving are often published periodically in local newspapers, but if you would like to check the status of a planned project or to suggest a road be included in consideration for the future, contact your County Maintenance Engineer.

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.

There are several advantages to sealing concrete paving stones. Sealing paving stones will help them to resist staining. Sealing will also help to bind the sand in place and prevent germination of weed seeds that may collect at the surface of joint sand. In New Jersey and New York, only water-based sealers are available. One disadvantage to sealing paving stones is that it would need to be sealed every couple of years, thus increasing the maintenance of the project.

You can easily remove a paving stone and replace it. Sometimes, oil stains can be so bad that they cannot be removed with an oil stain remover. Simply remove the paving stones and replace them with clean stones.

Paving stones can be shoveled and plowed the same as a concrete or asphalt pavement. The chamfered edges around the paving stones help to prevent the edges of the plow from hitting the comers of the stones. A plow with a rubber edge is preferred. Rock salt and calcium chloride will melt snow and ice, but they can also harm the paving stones.

Can I use Anchor paving stones around my new pool? A: Yes. Paving stones make an attractive pool deck and provide a slip resistant walking surface. Paving stones also take on moisture, leaving a pavement cooler underfoot than the traditional poured concrete surface. Anchor Concrete Products, Inc. also has a bullnose paving stone that will make an attractive pool coping that will match the paving stones around your pool deck.

Limestone does not heat up like clay or sandstone pavers (No more burnt feet). All Arena Stone products are manufactured from genuine coral limestone, they do not contain sand or aggregate..
