Default Re: DRIVEWAY PAVERS

Trouble is that eventually sand washes away and you wind up with cracked pavers. I naively assumed that the paving company (Old World) would level the slab but apparently that didn't happen. We've had our driveway in now for a little over two years and they have replaced a number of pavers which have cracked. The only solution I see is to get a tube of "mortar-like" adhesive and as they crack level the new paver. Joint sand has to be replaced every year or so and resealing needs to be done at that time. Our driveway looks pretty but there is significant maintenance that I really didn't expect.
