Question

Is there any maintenance needed for driveway pavers. Is there a product I should apply so they stay secure?

Answer 1

Pavers need to be laid on a proper level base.  Then you brush material over top of it that falls into the cracks and that helps hold them in place!

Answer 2

Once the topping sand has filled in the joints, they are OK

Answer 3

i assume you mean after installation once a year i brush dead sand about four bucks a 50 lb bag  on top of the pavers

Answer 4

On that note: I have to ask what part of the country are you in?.

If you live in an area with sever winters and freeze thaw pavers may not be a economical solution.On the flip side if your in a more weather friendly environment they make a nice addition.

A viable alternative would be concrete/asphalt.The down side of asphalt is constant sealing and extremely hot areas it's possible for tires to sink a bit.

Concrete is also a great choice.A word of advice here.Make sure contractor uses more than enough re enforcement and pours to commercial spec's and you will have a long lasting drive.

Answer 5

Agree with Emily-thats the way to go or you can pour a concret mixture and fill em in-much more work but good curb appeal effect in the end..but the sand topper is the most used.
