FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHILE CHOOSING THE RIGHT INTERLOCKING PAVER
There are a few key factors that have to be considered when choosing the right paver for your residential or commercial space. Pavers are a long-term investment that can enhance the landscape and value of your property. When choosing the right interlocking paver for you and your property in Ottawa, consider the following factors:
-
Location: A very important factor in deciding the right type of paver for your property is the location where you would like it installed on your property. There are different types of pavers that suit certain areas. Depending on whether it is the backyard or pool deck we can help suggest the best way forward.
-
Budget: The price for different interlocking pavers varies on the basis of their quality, design, size etc. A defined budget will help you narrow down the number of choices available and get you the best look you can afford.
-
Design: Another important factor is the type of design you are going for. Customers usually pick from modern, fancy, simple or traditional designs and add unique elements that reflect their personality. We will be by your side as you sift through various designs and help you select the best one for your landscape and property.
-
Colour: After selecting the design for the paver, we can help you through the decision of choosing the colour. It is advised to go for a landscaping colour that matches the exterior of your property. We understand that this can both be an easy and a difficult process at the same time, given the choices in colours. Therefore, we are here and happy to help guide you to the best options.
MAINTAINING YOUR INTERLOCKING PAVER PATIO OR WALKWAY IN OTTAWA
Interlocking pavers are a durable and low-maintenance landscaping solution. However, proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure they retain their beauty and functionality for years to come. Here are some key steps to follow for maintaining your interlocking paver patio or walkway in Ottawa:
-
Sweeping: Regularly sweep away leaves, debris, and dirt to prevent them from accumulating between the pavers. This will help prevent the growth of weeds and maintain a clean appearance.
-
Edging: Over time, the edges of your interlocking paver installation may shift due to settling or freeze-thaw cycles. Maintain crisp edges by periodically pushing them back into place using a rubber mallet and edging tool.
-
Weed Control: While interlocking pavers hinder weed growth, occasional weeds may emerge through the gaps between the pavers. Apply a natural or herbicide specifically designed for paver applications to control weeds effectively.
-
Sanding: Over time, the polymeric sand that fills the gaps between the pavers may erode or wash away. Reapply polymeric sand to maintain a level surface and prevent pavers from shifting or becoming loose.
-
Sealing: While not always necessary, applying a sealer to your interlocking pavers can enhance their color, resist stains, and protect them from the elements. Consult a professional to determine if sealing is recommended for your specific pavers and climate.
-
Winter Maintenance: During winter, avoid using salt to de-ice your interlocking paver surfaces. Salt can damage the pavers by causing efflorescence (a white, crystalline residue) to appear.
