Top 5 Reasons to Install a Fire Pit in Your Home
/A fire pit adds more beauty, warmth, ambiance and value to your home
Ask most folks and they’ll say, “Home is where the heart is.” This is, of course, for good reason. Home is, after all, where we feel safe to kick our shoes off and enjoy the quiet moments of life. It provides refuge from the stresses of work and, during especially busy times of the year, can serve as a rewarding “staycation.”
Out with the old Concrete , In with the new Pavers
/Start the new ear off right with a whole new look to your most treasured hardscapes.
With interlocking concrete pavers, you can finally achieve beautifully crafted hardscapes that resist cracks, inhibit the growth of existing vegetation and ensure longevity, naturally and for substantially longer than ordinary cement.
Before you can get started, however, you’ll need to remove your existing hardscape and replace it with something exponentially better: concrete paver stones.
Tools Needed to Lay Pavers
/Pavers provide an excellent way to upgrade a driveway, patio, pool deck, or walkway.
Available in a variety of attractive styles, colors and textures, pavers are easy to maintain and are stain-resistant. For installation, we recommend hiring an Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute-certified contractor who can guarantee satisfaction and a warranty on the pavers. If you’re looking to lay the pavers yourself, be sure to use all the right equipment to get the best results.
Why Installing Pavers Over Concrete Is a Bad Idea
/Installing pavers over concrete defeats some of the main benefits that you get with pavers.
Once you understand how pavers work, you will find that removing concrete before installing pavers will ensure a long-lasting pavers driveway, patio, pool deck or walkway.
Use Pavers to Conserve Water
/Are you looking for ways to save water in your home?
Water scarcity is becoming a bigger problem every day. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, outdoor water use accounts for 30 to 60 percent of all residential water use, making your landscape a good place to start when cutting back on water consumption. But you don’t have to compromise curb appeal.

/Go Pavers ICPI certified project managers are the best in the industry. But to understand what makes our project managers so special, you have to look at the importance of the ICPI, what it stands for, and how Go Pavers project managers strive to not only reach the ICPI’s rigorous standards, but also exceed them.
Pavers Are Designed For Rough Times
/When it comes to the debate between concrete vs pavers, we’re certain that pavers are the ideal choice when it’s time to update your home’s appearance. With spring and summer on the way you’ll be spending more time outdoors enjoying the splendor your home decor brings. However, If this happens to be your first time doing a pavers installation project, you might have concerns about what is to become of your existing driveway and even consider using your new pavers to cover the existing concrete surface that you have. There are many reasons why doing so could end in disaster and here’s why.
Imagine that your concrete driveway has taken some damage from a recent earthquake. If you went ahead and placed pavers above the concrete driveway, you’ll have twice the mess with half of the effectiveness, leaving unsightly cracks on concrete that could be already worn and dried out. It’s a tremendous hassle to clean up. Even worse, you’ll end up paying more for removal and restoration.

Creative Driveway Ideas Using Paving Stones
Let the grass grow through. Create a warm, cottage feel for your driveway and home by using grass between your driveway pavers. The spacing between pavers should be at least half an inch. Choose a lighter colored paver, like the Mega Lafitt from Belgard – to make the dark green grass pop.
Great DIY Projects For Patio Pavers
/With a little creativity you can feature your paverstones with the addition of focal points or other hardscape projects. Even the right softscapes can help to enhance paver projects. The right accessory can make all the difference, so let your weekend warrior project turn the spotlight on your pavers.
Top Tips for DIY Projects
- Start small. The key to a weekend warrior project is to be in a position to complete the project in just two days.
- Get your supplies in place before the weekend arrives. Nothing will eat up your weekend faster than having to drive around trying to find that right tool or installation material.
- Plan for the project to take about twice as long as you expect. This gives you room for the unexpected (like the weather) and still allows you to complete your project within the given weekend.
