Unilock Hollandstone

With its simple rectangular shape, this paver is extremely versatile in coloration and in design. Hollandstone is available in many beautiful colors ranging from the speckled tans of Sierra to the deep black of Charcoal. Additionally, Hollandstone’s uniform shape can be used to make different patterns such as “Herringbone” or “Double-Basket Weave”. This cost-effective paver can be successfully implemented into any landscape project without breaking the bank.

Unilock Brussels Block

This style is known as “the original tumbled paver”. This can be credited to the similar attributes it shares with quarried stone, as well as its irregular edges. If you are looking for a classic, elegant look at a very affordable price, this paver’s timeworn appearance will complement your home’s existing features for a look that you will truly enjoy for years to come. Brussels Block is, by far, our most heavily demanded style of brick. This paver also has a matching wall unit that can be used to make seat walls and fire pits.

Unilock Richcliff

Although it is more expensive than the other pavers mentioned in this article, Richcliff is certainly worth the extra cost. Because of the exceedingly refined manufacturing process that this stone goes through, Richcliff is extremely fade resistant and is measured to be four times stronger than concrete! The glossy and embossed surface will add a touch of elegance to any landscape project. Richcliff is fabulous for those looking to give their home a stunning and refreshingly modern renovation.

How To Build A Long Lasting Brick Paver Patio

People often shy away from installing a brick patio or walkway because they have seen or had a brick patio/walkway that has failed or settled. Many times the reason for a failed brick patio/walkway is not the actual brick pavers but instead the type and quality of base material that was installed. An older patio/walkway will often be installed on a sand base which can lead to problems. The process and techniques used when installing a patio/walkway base have changed to make a brick patio or walkway stronger and able to stand the test of time.

The base begins by excavating the area to prepare for the base material. Once the proper grade is set, the earth is then compacted to prepare for traffic bond. Traffic bond, a mix of crushed limestone chips and fines, is then added on top of the earth and compacted in lifts to form a hard, dense surface. Next a thin layer of crushed limestone sand is added and the pitch of the patio/walkway is set. Once the base is completed, the brick pavers and a paver restraint are installed with beveled stakes to hold the pavers in place. Lastly, a variety of sand materials can be added to fill the joints of the pavers to complete the patio or walkway. The more time, energy, effort and expense that is put into the patio or walkway base, the better the outcome will be. Just like a house, a patio/walkway is only as strong as it’s foundation.

Another potential failure for a patio/walkway, brick or concrete, is improper pitch. If you notice standing water or pooling on a patio or walkway surface after a rain, then the patio/walkway was not engineered correctly. Water can have a very damaging affect on patios/walkways due to the freeze/thaw that occurs in our Wisconsin climate. Over time, the freeze/thaw can cause a patio/walkway to lift, crack or settle. A patio/walkway should always be pitched to allow water to run off to a designated area.
