A paver is a construction material commonly used in building roads, driveways, walkways, patios, and other outdoor surfaces. Pavers are individual, interlocking pieces made from various materials such as concrete, clay, stone, or even recycled plastic. They come in a multitude of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, allowing for a high degree of customization in design and patterns. The installation of pavers involves preparing a base of compacted soil and gravel, followed by a layer of sand to provide a stable yet flexible foundation that can accommodate slight movements without cracking, unlike poured concrete. Pavers are prized for their aesthetic appeal, durability, ease of repair, and permeability, which allows water to seep through the joints, reducing runoff and aiding in sustainable landscaping practices. Properly installed paver surfaces are long-lasting and can enhance the visual appeal and value of a property.
