As you can see, we've got quite a few pavers here. So, the main thing to consider when
choosing pavers is the type of traffic that you're going to be getting on it, if it's
going to be vehicle or it's going to be pedestrian. In a vehicle situation like a driveway, stick
to the solid block pavers.
The type of pavers we're looking at here are rock solid. They're great for driveways and
standard paved areas. With your pedestrian areas like your patios and your courtyard
and around your pools, you can use a thinner grade of pavers like your sandstones, your
granites or, if you like, you can also use the solid blocks. The pavers that we're looking
at over here, which is the sandstone pavers and the blue sand pavers, they're great for
around the pool situation.
Now, one thing to remember is always seal them, because it'll stop the staining and
the corrosion of the actual paver itself. But, regardless of which paver you decide
to use, the most important thing is the base. You must have a solid base so that the paving
area will not sink.
On driveways and around pool areas, stick to a concrete base. Any other area, 100 mil
of road base will be perfectly fine. If you've got any other questions, drop into your local
