Are Granite Pavers the Best Material Choice for Your Patio Project?


granite paver patio is a beautiful addition to any home. While concrete is one of the most common materials used for patios, it isn't the best for durability. Granite pavers offer a lot of benefits that concrete, gravel, brick and even asphalt do not. If you are thinking about investing in a new patio, there are several things that you should know beforehand. Issues such as repairs, durability and maintenance should be taken into account before you make your material decision.

Here are some of the advantages to using granite pavers as the material for your new patio.

REPAIR

Granite pavers are one of the best materials to make repairs with. Even if you take the best care of your granite paver patio, accidents and forces of nature are inevitable. In the event that you do have to make a repair to the patio, it will be quick and easy. Because pavers are installed one by one, a single paver can be removed and replaced with very little cost. After the paver has been removed, a new paver can be installed and set without major reconstruction.

DURABILITY

The durability of granite pavers is their primary advantage. Concrete can shrink and crack. Asphalt can also crack due to high temperatures and direct sunlight. Brick can be chipped easily and gravel will shift due to foot traffic. Granite pavers are the immediate choice for a material with your patio because they will not flake, chip or crack under pressure. Granite pavers are rated up to 24,000 PSI making them 4 times stronger than concrete.

MAINTENANCE

Compared to other materials, granite pavers are the best choice on the market. Concrete can stain very easily. Even if a glass of wine or a small amount of grease falls onto concrete you could be looking at the high cost of pressure washing. Brick stains are also a hassle and must be washed several times a year. Granite pavers do not have to be maintained at all. Natural rain will remove dirt and grime from the pavers so you can enjoy your patio without worrying about the longevity or aesthetics of the pavers.
