Belgard Pavers

Interlocking pavers is a material we install which is sometimes referred to as paving stones, brick pavers, concrete pavers, or stone pavers. This material can be used extensively for high traffic areas such as driveways, walkways, swimming pool decks, and patios. We prefer to use natural travertine stone material or genuine Belgard pavers due to their strength, durability, warranty, and beauty.

- The cost of pavers is comparable to stamped or pattern concrete, but keep in mind the benefits of using pavers can far outweigh those of any type of concrete.
- Wood decking is usually more expensive than pavers, plus wood warps, rots, splinters, and has to be stained or resealed on a regular basis making it a high maintenance material which also has a much shorter lifespan.
- Synthetic wood is much more expensive, comes in a very few limited colors, and has a plastic look and feel making it much less attractive looking.

6. Do not require any extended curing time and can be walled on immediately after being installed

7. Unlike concrete, pavers can be installed in almost any temperature or climate zone

8. Can withstand extreme temperature changes of heat or cold and are highly resistant to freeze/thaw

The main difference is that interlocking pavers like the Belgard pavers are manufactured in a plant from a mixture of minerals and then baked or kiln dried like how bricks are made. Stone pavers are cut from the quarry into slabs and they are a natural product. The interlocking pavers are a man-made product built in a factory. Most of the stone pavers we use are cut from limestone and are referred to as travertine pavers. Travertine pavers are usually about 1 inch thick and come in lighter colors. The Belgard pavers will vary in thickness from approx. 2 inches to 3 ¼ inches and they are much more durable than the travertine pavers. The Belgard pavers also come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes and offer a lifetime warranty, where the travertine pavers come with a one year warranty.

Belgard pavers do not need to be sealed. Grass will not grow up from underneath the pavers however you can have grass seed transported by the wind that will sprout between the pavers, if this happens, we recommend you simply spray the grass sprouts while they are still small with any sort of grass killer. This will kill the grass and the root, so it will not grow back.

Belgard makes different specialized cleaning solutions that you can buy for cleaning, dirt, oil, grease, organic, and pet stains. You can also simply mix a solution of soap and warm water in a bucket, brush the pavers with it, and rinse with clean water. For travertine, you can also clean with soap and water but if you get mildew or algae growth on them you may want to kill it will a mild solution of bleach and water. Start with 20% bleach and 80% water in a bucket or sprayer, apply to the travertine, and let it sit for an hour or more on a warm day. If all the stains are not removed, you can reapply again or mix a stronger solution and apply again. Once stains and mildew are removed rinse with a good amount of clean water so that grass and plants are not damaged from the bleach. Never pressure wash your travertine or Belgard pavers as you may damage them and wash out the sand between the joints.
