Pavers are a relatively modern material for anything from driveways to paver pool decks. A lot of our customers haven’t heard of them, which means you might not know about their benefits. Our professionals recommend paver driveways in Spicewood, TX for their versatility and appeal, but you’ve got options for a new driveway. Popular ones are asphalt, gravel, concrete, and brick, so keep reading for more information on all of them or give us a call!

Asphalt is a common choice for driveways for several reasons. It’s cement that gets heated up before we pour it to fill whatever driveway or space you need. Most of the time, asphalt hardens in 24 hours or less, which gives it time to expand. That means that this inexpensive material can create any shape or fill any hole. It’s made of bitumen, tone, and sand, so it’s not the strongest option. That means you could end up needing a lot of repairs down the road, but it’s cheaper to install. Quality for asphalt varies from one manufacturer to the next, though, so your asphalt might not be as sturdy as the next project.

Speaking of less expensive, gravel can be a good option. It’s a little noisier and the gravel shifts under weight, but it’s easy to replace. Concrete is probably the one you’ll see most often in driveways. It’s cost-effective and lasts a long time. The water, gravel, and cement combination holds up well for a while, especially with steel or rebar inside. It’s relatively quiet and easy to install for our team. However, that process and any repairs will take longer. Concrete also only comes in the one texture and color. Aside from the typical damages over time, concrete is susceptible to a process called freeze-thaw anytime it gets cold and thaws out.

Bricks are another consideration for driveways, and they offer many aesthetic options. Of course, we don’t think you should have to choose from the best of these materials when pavers offer everything you need. They can be constructed from brick or concrete, so you can trust them to last. They also don’t need many repairs, but that maintenance is straightforward. Pavers can be replaced in sections or one at a time. While they’re more expensive to install in the first place, the simplicity of those repairs can save time and money. Then you have numerous visual options to pick between, so it’s no wonder that pavers can increase your home’s value!
