Now that it’s summer and you’re spending more time outside, you might be realizing that your patio is a bit lacking. Or maybe you’ve concluded that you need a patio in the first place! There are tons of different options when it comes to patio materials, but many people are seeking out paver patios for their great benefits this summer.
What are pavers?
Pavers are most often referring to bricks or stones made up of concrete, though they can sometimes be made of natural stone or even hardened clay. Pavers come in various different colors, shapes, sizes, and textures to allow for customization and are placed in interlocking patterns to create a solid and seamless patio.
What’s so great about paver patios anyway?
Durability
Pavers are very heavy-duty options. Since the patios are made up many smaller chunks of concrete, they’re less prone to cracking and breaking since each individual brick has a smaller area and can shift slightly with pressure, where solid concrete patios take more strain on a single large slab and can’t shift to accommodate it. It’s important to note that when compared to a home’s foundation, pavers are nearly 4 times stronger! A paver patio is going to be able to hold up much longer than other types of patios.
Low Maintenance
If you’re looking for a patio option that won’t require a ton of maintenance, pavers are going to be one of the best options for you. They only really need to be rinsed off or swept to remove debris over time. Most stains can be cleaned with water and soap, and protective sealers can be applied to the pavers to create a barrier over them and make them even easier to clean.
Easy Repairs
When a concrete slab patio cracks or breaks, often you have to settle with refilling the crack or hole and the colors don’t match properly. It can be pretty unattractive. If you want to completely replace your concrete patio slab to fix the various damages or issues, that’s going to cost you a lot of time and money to do. It’s just not easy to repair them. Paver patios make for incredibly easy repairs, though! If there’s a broken paver, you can easily remove it and replace it without having to tear up the entire patio. The entire process is stress-free.
Endless Customization Options
Since pavers come in so many different colors, shapes, sizes, and textures, plus you get to mix and match them as you see fit, the possibilities are truly endless! You can choose whatever pavers will fit your home’s style and aesthetic. There’s no sacrifice to be made with the look of your patio when it comes to pavers.
