No, sealing your brick is not necessary, it is the preference of the customer. If you do decide to seal your brick you should wait at least 3 months to allow the sand between the joints of the pavers to be thoroughly swept in.


The biggest benefit is that the sealer will harden the sand in between the joints of the brick so that the sand does not wash out, and it will also guarantee no growth between the joints. Another benefit of the sealer is that it will enhance the colors of the brick by giving them a glossy wet look.


If you use a good product and do a thorough job you will only have to seal the brick every 2 to 3 years.


Yes, there is a new product sold now called PolyMeric Sand that you can sweep in between the joints of the pavers and by adding water to this sand it creates a concrete-hard joint.


Pavers can be plowed and shoveled just like asphalt or concrete. A plow with a rubber edge is recommended. Also, don't melt the ice with salt, instead use a salt free sand.


Not only do pavers make an attractive pool deck but they also provide a slip resistant walking surface. pavers are actually better than poured concrete around a pool from the standpoint that the joints will take on moisture and leave the pavers cooler.


Yes, definitely because of their strength and flexibility. Pavers are being used on highways / city streets and commercial ports. But this requires a great sub-grade preparation. A well compacted base together with a good edge restraint will insure a permanent job.


As long as the concrete is in good condition with no cracks you can go over the top of the existing concrete. As a matter of fact, this is a much better scenario because you never know what kind of debris lies underneath an existing porch.
