Outdoor Pavers – Charlotte, NC
A pavestone driveway can greatly improve your home's exterior, making it look more inviting and making an impression on your guests and neighbors. Outdoor pavers (also called paving stones or pavestones) can add to the appearance of any outdoor area, including your patio and the area around your pool. Along with the aesthetic improvement, adding outdoor pavers to your home's exterior spaces can provide certain very practical benefits; those benefits include:
Improved Property Value
Outdoor pavers are attractive and can make your outdoor space look better. Keep in mind that one of the main factors in the value of your home is its curb appeal. In other words, what the prospective buyers see when they first drive up. It is a widely known fact that first impressions count when selling real estate. If a home buyer falls in love with the exterior of the home, this can carry over into their perception of the home's interior. They may be willing to overlook shortcomings on the inside because of how nice the exterior looks. Of course, aesthetic benefits are not just for the enjoyment of the home's future owners. Outdoor pavers can add to your own enjoyment of your property while you are still living in it.
Safety
Outdoor surfaces like patios and the areas around pools can become hazardous when wet if they are made of the wrong materials. Unlike other materials, outdoor pavers do not become slick due to rain or pool water. They are slip and skid proof, even during the wettest weather and can prevent slipping and skidding.
Reduced Maintenance
The time and effort it takes to maintain a home is one of the downsides of home ownership. Your driveway is one of the areas that will require regular repairs. Asphalt and concrete are two common driveway materials and both will need patches or to have cracks fixed from time to time because of the stresses that the weather can place on them. Pavers are extremely durable and therefore do not require this kind of regular maintenance. They move along with the earth underneath them and therefore are less likely crack or be damaged. If a paver is damaged or stained, you simply remove it and replace it with a new one.
Multiple Options
Outdoor pavers Charlotte NC come in a wide variety of textures, materials and colors, and they can be chosen to suit your taste and to fit with your home's exterior. The different types of pavers include pale ivory tumbled pavers that offer a pale and consistent shade. Because these pavers are all tumbled together, they have rounded edges and an aged appearance. Other options include walnut tumbled pavers and silver travertine tile, which can be used to customize your driveway or patio to fit with your home's design. In addition, pavers are available in different sizes to allow for further customization of your outdoor spaces.
It is important to note that installing pavers does require a certain amount of skill and thus can be difficult for unprepared DIYers. It will be necessary to take a number of measurements and special saws will be necessary if the pavers need to be cut. Note also that pavers can be heavy. If you are not prepared for the amount of work involved, you may want to consider hiring an expert to install your pavers. If they are properly installed, pavers can transform your outdoor living space and thus the look and feel of your home as well.
