Pavers FAQ
Common questions about this service
How does travertine compare to concrete?
Travertine stays 15-20 degrees cooler, won't crack like poured concrete, requires less maintenance, and adds significant value to your home. The upfront cost is higher but longevity and aesthetics justify the investment.
Do pavers require sealing?
Sealing is optional but recommended. It enhances color, provides stain resistance, and extends the life of the installation. We recommend resealing every 2-3 years.
Can you install pavers over existing concrete?
In some cases, yes. The existing concrete must be in good condition with proper drainage. We'll assess during your consultation whether overlay or removal is the better option.
