There are three main types of widely available paver materials at ordinary hardware stores such as Home Depot and Rona: natural stone, concrete, and brick. Each material offers unique benefits and aesthetic appeal, allowing you to choose the perfect option for your walkway or patio project. Natural stone provides a timeless, elegant look, concrete offers durability and versatility, and brick adds a classic charm to any outdoor space.
Concrete pavers are made from a mix of cement, sand, and gravel, moulded into various shapes and sizes. Known for their strength and versatility, concrete pavers are available in multiple colours, shapes, and patterns, allowing for creative and customizable designs. They are relatively affordable and easy to install, making them popular for many homeowners—drainage and reducing soil erosion.
An interlock stone or brick surface is a hardscaping technique where bricks, stones, or concrete tiles are laid down individually, interlocking to create a solid, stable surface. This method involves precise placement of each piece to ensure they fit together snugly, providing structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. The interlocking design allows for flexibility and durability, making it an excellent choice for driveways, patios, and sidewalks.
Durability and Flexibility: Interlock surfaces are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. The flexible nature of the interlocking pieces allows for slight movement without cracking, unlike solid asphalt or concrete surfaces, which can develop cracks over time.
Aesthetic Appeal: Interlock surfaces offer a wide range of design possibilities. You can create a unique look that complements your property’s style with various colours, shapes, and patterns.
Ease of Repair: If a section of an interlock surface is damaged, individual pieces can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding area. This makes repairs easier and more cost-effective than repairing large sections of asphalt or concrete.
Permeability: Interlock surfaces allow water to seep through the joints, reducing runoff and promoting better drainage. This helps prevent water pooling and can be beneficial for the environment.
Choosing an interlock driveway, patio, or sidewalk provides a sturdy and long-lasting solution and enhances the beauty and value of your property.
