Pavers
Pavers refer to a wide range of materials that include stones, ceramics, concrete, glass, plastic and rubber. Pavers are available in brick, block and tile forms that can be laid on the ground forming certain patterns, and these pavers can either be laid and compacted in several layers or cemented in place. Laying pavers is both for aesthetic and practical purposes.
Outdoor pavers are usually arranged in certain patterns not only to make them attractive but also functional. One basic arrangement of pavers is the alternating brick pattern, which optimises the stability of the pavement. Other arrangement patterns of pavers include circular patterns, interlocking patterns, concentric patterns and random patterns. These various arrangement patterns are also dependent on the shape of the pavers.
In most cases, laying pavers will require excavation of the ground to build stable foundation. Mortars or concrete may also be used to cement the pavers in place. Choosing the terrain is an important step in preparing an area for laying pavers. The terrain must be as flat as possible or should be flattened to effectively accommodate the pavers.
