Buyer’s Guide to Interlocking Pavers

With the advent of interlocking pavers, the way in which Californians came to hardscape was completely reinvented. Easier to install, more affordable than some stone products and quite attractive, interlocking pavers have certainly made a huge impact on landscapers across the country. From patios, to walkways to driveways even, this product really is incredible. Classic Home Exteriors has had the opportunity to work on some fun and ultimately stunning paver projects. And we have come to learn exactly what to look for, how to shop for interlocking pavers, and just a few other things that you may want to keep in mind!

 

Style: Available in a wide array of colors, sizes and patterns, interlocking pavers can be made to mimic just about any natural stone product out there. It really is up to your design preference and taste. Also consider usage. If for instance, you will be using the pavers in a pool surround you may want to stick to ones that have a rougher texture and thus are not as smooth. Slipping on wet interlocking pavers is never fun.

Thickness: Interlocking pavers are also available in a wide range of thicknesses. Again what you will be using them for is important when it comes to selecting a paver for its thickness. If in fact it will be a driveway application, or something which daily sees heavy traffic, you want to opt for a thicker paver, whereas a more decorative feature might not need as thick a stone.

Location: Where will you be installing the interlocking pavers. And this isn’t necessarily referring to the type of use but the actual, physical locale. Meaning, what is the ground like? Will there need to be some initial excavation done? Is it a particularly moist terrain? All of these factors should be taken into consideration prior to buying your interlocking pavers.

 

Pavers can certainly make for a very attractive outdoor feature. The interlocking paver specialists at Classic Home Exteriors can create just about anything, any size, any shape and any pattern you want using this material. Call today for your free consultation!
