Pavers on driveways and walkways give houses tremendous curb appeal and add to the home's value, but if they aren't installed properly, can be a problem.
I'm not saying that there aren't any, but the applications I have seen are only thin pavers installed on top of existing concrete driveways and paths.
THAT is probably the reason there are so many issues homeowners are having and have had.
Genuine pavers come in various sizes with some being brick-like, cobblestone-like, etc.
They are big, thick and heavy and come in various shapes and colors, not like the thin things used in TV.
They should never be installed on top of an existing driveway!
There is more to it that this, but the main thing is that they are laid/set in a bed of sand.
Correctly done, they last forever.
It's too bad the paver companies here have sold homeowners a bill of goods, and it's a shame so many residents are having a problem.
