Frequently Asked Questions About Paving Stones
What paving stone materials work best for coastal properties?
For Torrance’s coastal environment, we recommend porcelain pavers, natural bluestone, and high-density concrete pavers. These materials offer superior resistance to salt exposure and UV rays while maintaining their color and integrity. Our selections specifically account for coastal moisture and temperature variations.
How do paving stones compare to solid concrete surfaces?
Paving stones offer greater flexibility and durability than solid concrete. Their segmented design prevents crack propagation and allows for easier repairs. Additionally, they provide superior water drainage, greater design versatility, and better resistance to ground movement and settling.
What maintenance do paving stones require?
Regular maintenance includes occasional sweeping and periodic joint sand inspection. We recommend professional cleaning every 2-3 years and sealer application as needed. For coastal properties, we suggest more frequent cleaning to prevent salt accumulation. Our installations include detailed maintenance guidelines.
Can existing concrete be replaced with paving stones?
Yes, we can convert existing concrete areas to paving stone installations. The process involves removing the concrete, preparing a proper base, and installing your chosen paving stones. This transformation not only enhances aesthetics but also improves drainage and adds value to your property.
How long does a paving stone installation typically last?
Properly installed paving stones can last 25-30 years or more with regular maintenance. Our installation methods, including proper base preparation and edge restraints, ensure maximum longevity. The modular nature of pavers also allows for easy repairs or replacements if needed.
