Paver applications in TV are really only laying thin veneer bricks on a hard concrete base. Maybe a thin layer of sand is applied but that soon washes away. There are all kinds of problems with that application. Real pavers are 4 to 6 inches thick and are laid in a 4 to 6 inch soft bedding of sand or tru-pack material for proper load dispersal, drainage, and stabilization. As further evidence of the misapplication, true pavers that have been properly fired and are placed in a base with proper drainage, should not have to be sealed.
As an aside, I have not been in many Deep south communities that have the fixation that The Villagers have to decorate their concrete drives. I don't think any of the products being offered can really stand up to the harsh Florida heat and solar conditions or can retain its orginal appearance without extensive maintenance.
