Paver Advantages?
Segmental pavements also known as hardscapes, brick, stone or concrete unit pavers offer appeal and worth that other pavements cannot match. It is difficult for any concrete or asphalt to compete with the look and feel of brick, stone or concrete unit pavers. It is impossible for any stamped concrete to match the inherent beauty of natural stone or brick. The good news is, when properly installed by Unique Paving Systems, Inc. This beauty will last far longer than any poured-in-place surface like asphalt or concrete.
- Unit pavers are the most durable hard pavement surfaces in the world. For example, a concrete paver has two to five times the pounds-per-square-inch (PSI) compressive strength (depending on the manufacture's product line) than poured-in-place surfaces like asphalt or concrete. This allows for pavers to continually handle the weight and abuse.
- The resale return of a segmental pavement system is one of the highest in the real estate industry. Additionally, unit pavers offer that certain curb appeal that immediately attracts any potential home buyers.
- Interlocking brick, stone and concrete unit pavers are durable.
- Segmental pavements are quickly set allowing for immediate pedestrian and vehicular access which is important to streetscaping or similar sidewalk and plaza developments. Immediate access dictates no need for concrete to cure or asphalt to harden.
- With any need such as underground utility work, unit pavers are removed and reset instantly. Unsightly spot patches as seen with asphalt or concrete are avoided allowing for a quick, aesthetic and uniform pavement presence, with no added material loses.
- Many architects, landscape architects turn to segmental hardscapes to deliver that unique sense of place.
