BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A PAVING STONE DRIVEWAY
Aesthetics
Paving stones have more choices when it comes to colors, patterns and styles than any other hardscaping material, because of the large number of choices they have to offer, it gives homeowners the ideal surface when installing a new driveway. They can be used to blend into the existing landscape or the overall look of the exterior of your home.
Maintenance
Very little maintenance is required when it comes to paving stones. A few simple do it yourself steps for cleaning and maintaining. Simply hose off with a regular garden hose to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a cleaning solution might be in order. When installing paving stones we recommend to have the pavers sealed after the installation process and then once every 2-3 years. This will avoid staining and keep the natural look for years to come.
Durability
Paving stones are at the top of the list for strength and durability. With a higher strength rating of 8000 PSI, pavers leave concrete in the dust with a rating of 3500-4000 PSI. Another plus in the paving stones vs. concrete installation, is that concrete is almost certain to crack…especially in Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycle.
permeable paving stones for driveway applications
Permeable paving stones offer several benefits for driveway installations. Firstly, they provide effective stormwater management by allowing water to infiltrate through the surface and into the ground. This helps to reduce runoff and prevent flooding, which is especially important in areas with heavy rainfall or poor drainage systems. Secondly, permeable paving stones help to replenish groundwater levels by recharging the aquifer. They allow rainwater to naturally seep into the soil, replenishing the water table and supporting local ecosystems. Moreover, these stones promote healthier urban environments by reducing heat island effects. They have high solar reflectance, which means they reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat compared to traditional asphalt or concrete surfaces. This helps to maintain cooler temperatures in urban areas, improving air quality and reducing energy consumption for cooling. Additionally, permeable paving stones are durable and long-lasting, withstanding heavy vehicle loads and maintaining their structural integrity over time. They also require minimal maintenance and are resistant to cracking, reducing the need for costly repairs. Overall, using permeable paving stones for driveway installation offers environmental, economic, and aesthetic advantages while addressing key issues related to stormwater management and urban sustainability.

Choosing a paving stone driveway contractor for your project
Choosing the best contractor to design and build your paving stone driveway is a crucial decision that can significantly impact the outcome of your project. Here are some common considerations to help you make an informed choice:
Read Reviews and View Previous Work:
- Reading reviews and looking at a contractor’s previous work can provide insights into the quality of their craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. It’s a great way to get an initial sense of their track record.
Schedule a Consultation:
- Meeting with the contractor for a consultation is an excellent opportunity to discuss your ideas, expectations, and project details. It allows you to gauge their professionalism and how well they understand your vision.
Consider Reputation:
- A contractor’s reputation is essential. You want someone who is accessible and reliable, even after the project is completed. A well-established local presence and affiliation with a respected franchise brand can offer assurance in this regard.
Ensure Insurance:
- Confirming that the contractor has the necessary insurance coverage is a fundamental step in protecting yourself and your property. Requesting proof of insurance and other credentials is a responsible approach.

Attention to Detail Every Step of the Process
1
Design and Planning
The process starts with designing the layout and selecting the appropriate type, color, and pattern of paving stones that suit your home’s aesthetic and functional needs.
2
Site Preparation
This involves clearing the driveway area, removing existing materials, and ensuring proper grading for drainage. The ground is then leveled and compacted to provide a stable foundation for the paving stones.
3
Base Installation
A layer of crushed stone or gravel is laid as the base. This layer is then compacted to create a solid, even foundation that facilitates drainage and supports the weight of vehicles.
4
Laying the Paving Stones
The paving stones are carefully placed in the chosen pattern. Precision is key in this step to ensure the stones are level and fit tightly together. Cutting stones may be necessary to fit the driveway edges.
5
Walkthrough & Education
After completion, we’ll take you through the finished driveway, explaining maintenance and care to ensure its longevity. We’ll address any of your questions regarding the installation or future upkeep.
