Why Choose Premier Pavers of Clearwater?
Patio paver installation
Before you can start installing brick patio pavers, you need to excavate the area. The area should be level from side to side. Then, you need to set edging and other supports. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions. If you are installing standard brick patio edging, you should use metal spikes and install them along the brick patio's perimeter. This step is important to ensure a smooth and safe surface for the bricks.
First, level the area before you start installing the pavers. It is important not to stand on the leveled base material during the installation process. This will disrupt the leveling process. In addition, this will prevent sand or other base material from getting into the paver joints. Also, mark the rounded edges of the paver area using a garden hose or flexible PVC pipe. When you are installing brick patio pavers, make sure to account for the soldier row in the middle.
After preparing your patio area with brick patio pavers, it is time to install the field pavers. Begin at one corner and work your way to the other. Be sure to follow all directions when installing brick patio pavers. Using a rubber mallet, you can set bricks into the sand. Use a straightedge or a 4 foot level to level the patio. Make sure to apply a sealer to prevent cracking.
Driveway paver installation
A professional contractor can help you install your new driveway pavers. First, he or she will take out your old driveway, dig it up at least a foot deep, and then lay a base layer of crushed stone. This layer will add strength and stability to your new driveway, and will allow water to run off when it rains. He or she will also use a level to ensure that the driveway is level. After laying the first layer of pavers, he or she will install an edging around the new driveway. This edging may be made from concrete, plastic, or another material.
Regardless of the material you choose, it is important to choose the right color combination for your driveway. There are numerous colors and styles of pavers available, and you can use them to create a border or separate sections of your driveway. Whether you're looking for a modern or traditional look, pavers are an excellent choice for driveways. Once you've decided on your colors and patterns, you can begin the installation process.
Pool deck paver installation
Paving stones are one of the most popular materials used for pool decks. Unlike concrete, paving stones are more slip-resistant and can mimic the look of natural stone. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns. You can mix and match the different types to create unique designs. Whether you want a pool deck with a contemporary feel or a rustic feel, there's a paver that will fit your style.
The first step is to prepare the base for the installation. This will help the pavers adhere to the sub-base properly. The sub-base should be level and solid. It should be prepared for the installation of coping stones, if necessary. The coping stones should be leveled with mortar and have a consistent 1-inch overhang. It is recommended to use complementary color mortar joints when possible. For auto-covers with tracks, you should not mortar the track portion. Instead, you can apply construction adhesive on the back of the track and then install the pavers.
Creating a design for your pool deck should include the overall design of the patio, planter beds, and the pool. You should also create a detailed diagram of the area. You can use a string line, chalk, or lime to mark the boundaries. Ensure you measure accurately and record the measurements. If you are not sure about the exact measurements, you can ask a paver dealer for assistance with the style, pattern, and number of pavers you need.
Selecting a brick paver type
When installing brick pavers, it's important to consider how the installation will affect the final results. Poorly installed brick pavers can lead to an unsightly brick surface. Fortunately, there are many ways to ensure that your brick paver installation is done correctly. Read on to learn how to select the right brick paver for your project. A good installation will also ensure that your brick pavers will last for years.
First, determine what kind of finish you want. Brick pavers can be stained or painted, which gives them a natural look that will enhance your landscaping. A good installer should be experienced in matching design ideas and colors. In addition to being experienced in brick paver installation, they should also be knowledgeable about the local permitting requirements. Keep in mind that these requirements can change from state to state, so ask a contractor about them.
After you've determined the overall design of your brick paver installation, you'll need to select a brick paver type for the area where you'll install them. Bricks come in a variety of colors, which are determined by the mineral content and proprietary formulas. Clay and shale, for example, will produce a warm buff color, while manganese will produce a dark brown tone. The color of the brick pavers will also depend on the type of kiln firing process. A quick burst of heat will produce dark red tones, while slow bursts of high heat will create softer mauve and terra-cotta colors.
How to maintain brick pavers
One of the most important steps in brick paving maintenance is cleaning. Cleaning is essential, as dirt can cause the pavers to shift, crack, or scale. Poorly compacted base, improper base material, and poor pitch can also cause damage. Brick pavers can also separate from their joints due to improper edging and loosely laid brick patterns. In addition, improper application of jointing sand can lead to cracking.
For the first step, you should sweep away any debris that is stuck between the bricks. Next, use a garden hose to spray the pavers. Remember not to spray between cracks because this could disrupt the medium that keeps the pavers level. Spot cleaning is also important for removing any stains. White vinegar mixed with water is also a good cleaning solution, but avoid darker vinegar varieties as they may stain your brick pavers.
You should also seal your brick pavers every two to three years to maintain their beauty and durability. Sealing brick pavers is a complicated process, and a landscaping contractor will be able to maximize the protective seal. During this process, your contractor will remove the old sealant layers to provide the best protection. It is also essential to remember that a thick layer of sealant will not offer protection if it is uneven.

Choosing the right type of brick paver
There are a few different types of brick paver that can be used for driveway and pool deck installation. Each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the right one for your specific needs. Here are some of the more common types and their characteristics:
Brick/concrete
Brick pavers are the most traditional type of brick paver. They are made from pre-mixed concrete that is then poured into a masonry shape. This type of paver has a smooth surface and is suitable for most types of surface.
Porcelain
Porcelain pavers are exactly what they sound like – porcelain tiles that have been laid in a brick pattern. This type of paver looks incredible when installed, but it can be more expensive than other types due to the high cost of manufacturing this material.
Bluestone
Bluestone pavers are made from volcanic stones that have been shaped into a brick pattern. They offer an incredible natural look and feel, but they can be more difficult to install than other types of paver and are typically on the more expensive side.
Flagstone
Flagstone pavers are made from pieces of natural flagstone that have been cut and shaped into a brick pattern. They offer a rustic look and feel that is perfect for landscaping applications.
Marble
Marble pavers are made from natural marble that has been cut and shaped into a brick pattern. They offer an incredibly luxurious look and feel, but they can be more expensive than other types of paver and may not be suitable for all surface conditions.
Cobblestone
Cobblestone pavers are made from natural cobblestone that has been cut and shaped into a brick pattern. They offer a rustic look and feel that is perfect for landscaping applications.
Travertine
Travertine pavers are made from natural travertine that has been cut and shaped into a uniform tile shape. Travertine offers a luxurious look and feel, but it is certainly more expensive than other types of paver and may be slippery when wet. One solution to this is sealing the surface with a non-slip polymer additive to provide grip.
Preparing the surface & laying the brick pavers
Before laying brick pavers, it is important to prepare the surface. This can be done by removing any existing lawn, sod or other plants, and then leveling the ground with hand tools (e.g. shovels) or a bulldozer. Next, sand (or other soil conditioner) is added to fill any voids created by the removal of plants and leveled as necessary. Next, an even layer of paver base is spread over all surfaces and compacted with a mechanical compactor. Finally, a layer of leveling sand is added before laying the pavers according to the chosen pattern, ensuring the joints are as tight as possible.
Fixing any imperfections
Once the brick pavers have been laid, any imperfections must be fixed. This may include leveling any uneven pavers or replacing any that may have been damaged during installation. One common issue after laying new pavers is efflorescence, which is a white powdery salt trapped as moisture in the paver which can migrate to the surface during the first few months after installation. Efflorescence is not dangerous and can be removed fairly easily using a commercial efflorescence remover.
Maintenance & updates
Regular maintenance of the brick pavers is essential for their long-term performance. This may include removing moss, lichens and other growth, removing any further signs of efflorescence, and leveling any uneven patches. One of the best methods is by pressure washing (using up to 3600 PSI) every 6-12 months. Another effective way to extend the life of brick pavers is by applying a high quality sealer, the benefits of which include protecting them against UV rays, stains and general degradation, locking in joint sand which contributes largely to surface stabilization, and enhancing the tone, color and general appearance.
How long do brick pavers last?
You may be wondering how long do brick pavers last after installation. Well, you can prolong their lifespan by cleaning and sealing them regularly. This will protect them from the weather and other elements and also make cleanup easier. The best time to seal pavers is around thirty to sixty days after installation. Usually, pavers need to be sealed within three to five years. Sealing also adds to their beauty as it makes them look like new.
Brick pavers are an excellent choice for landscaping. They are aesthetically appealing and highly durable, making them perfect for high-traffic areas. Since they are made of natural materials, brick pavers are considered environmentally friendly and sustainable. However, it is important to have them installed by a professional paving company to make sure they will last for a long time. This way, you can rest assured that you are getting the right paving material for your property.
After installing brick pavers, you must regularly clean them with a hose. You can buy cleaning solutions for brick pavers. However, it is important to note that the pressure used for pressure washing should be between 1,000 and 3,000 psi. Higher pressures may damage the pavers. If you find any serious stains, you may want to consider hiring a professional. However, in most cases, you can maintain brick pavers by power washing them and replacing the joint sand.
What determines the cost of a brick paver project?
Professional brick paver installation costs vary, and you should compare prices before hiring a professional. The cost will depend on how much brick you need, the type of mortar joint, the size of the core holes and the fire method. Brick paver installation also involves brick staining, which costs about $1 per square foot. The process not only changes the color of the brick, but also allows the brick to remain breathable. Brick staining will increase the cost of the project, but it is an option that you should consider.
You can hire a professional to install your new pavers or you can do it yourself. There are some additional materials required, and you might need to rent tools. You'll also need to dig the foundation, level it and add joint sand. You'll also need a half-inch layer of sand to seal the joint. The overall cost of brick paver installation varies, from $12-$28 per square foot.
The amount you pay will also depend on the size of your project. For example, a 400-square-foot patio would take about five days to complete. When you budget for your project, be sure to hire the best installers to guarantee quality. If you go with a cheaper company, you might not be able to contact them when things don't work out, or they may use substandard installation crews. Additionally, they may not operate legally, so be sure to ask for an estimate before hiring a paver contractor.
