How durable are
LockPaver Paving Stones when compared to asphalt and concrete?
LockPaver Paving Stones are more
durable than asphalt and concrete and hold up better when faced with
snow, ice, and flooding. Pavers are also stronger than ordinary
stamped concrete, and unlike asphalt, they are maintenance-free,
saving you time and money by eliminating the need for messy
sealers.
Paving Stones also allow for easy access to buried utility
lines and cables.
Simply remove the pavers in the area where access
is required, and re-install upon completion.

What makes LockPaver
Paving Stones so strong?
Each high density Paving Stone is
manufactured under high-frequency vibrations, leaving less room for
water absorption. A flexible pavement created from LockPaver Paving
Stones will resist cracks and damage from harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

I already have a
concrete patio. Can LockPaver Paving Stones be installed over top
of existing concrete or asphalt?
Yes. Although it is recommended to
install Paving Stones over a compacted sub-base and sand-bedding
course, they can be installed over existing concrete or asphalt. Go
to our Installation page for compete
installation instructions.

Do I have to apply
a sealer to my LockPaver project?
No. Your LockPaver Stones will stay
colorful and durable for years to come without the application of a
sealer. However, while it is not necessary to seal your completed
Paving Stone project, there are sealers available. If sealing is
desired, we recommend waiting six (6) months to one year before
cleaning and sealing your project with a sealer designed
specifically for paving stones.

After it rained, I
noticed white stains on the surface of my pavers. Is this normal?
Yes. What you are seeing is called
efflorescence. It is a whitish powder-like deposit that develops
when free lime is released in the pavers. It dissolves, and is then
carried to the surface of the pavers by water. Efflorescence is a
natural occurrence that in no way affects the structural integrity
of the paving stone, and will wash and wear off over time.
