For your next home improvement project, you should add a paver patio to your yard. A patio gives you a place to relax, spend time with your family, and entertain guests. Along with an easy installation, pavers also offer many other benefits, including the following.

Why Plan Paver Installation?

1. Versatility

There are many kinds of pavers available, including concrete, brick, and natural stone. They come in a wide range of shapes, from simple squares and rectangles to patterned cobblestone and advanced interlocking designs. Additionally, they’re available in a variety of colors and textures.

You can also lay them out in multiple patterns, including simple grids, circles, overlapping arcs, and more. All of this variety means you can create a look that is exclusive to your home.

2. Durability

Since this type of hardscaping is made from naturally weather-resistant material, it stands up to frost and erosion. The cracks in between each piece allow water to flow through without pooling or damaging the patio surface.

The fact that it’s made of individual blocks also makes it resistant to root damage, because roots grow around the individual bricks and stones instead of breaking through them.

3. Low Maintenance

Paver patios need very little in terms of cleaning and repairs. It never needs to be sealed or finished like asphalt. If a brick is removed or damaged, you only need to replace it, when other paved surfaces would need patching and crack filling.

If you want to clean the surface, a hose or power washer will do the job and leave the patio undamaged. Most of the time, it doesn’t need any care at all.
