What to consider before adding Concrete Pavers

Before beginning any hardscaping project ask yourself the following questions.

1. What kind of location is this?

Are you adding pavers to your home? Or is this for commercial use? Commercial use 99% of the time there will be permits involved. While for home use permits aren’t required for Marion county while it might be necessary that your HOA require you show documentation of work to be performed.

2. Is there a current structure in place of where the pavers are?

Typically most clients are choosing to replace the concrete with interlocking paver. And in most cases laying the pavers directly on top of the existing concrete is the method of action. While there are some circumstances of a driveway or a structure that requires large amounts of weight will require removal of an existing concrete slab.

3. What is the desired hardscaping scheme look your are trying to accomplish?

There are many different hardscaping applications from installing a driveway, an outdoor kitchen, or adding rocks to your landscape. With endless shapes, sizes, colors, and the type of material being the largest reason for cost difference (concrete, bluestone, travertine, clay).

4. Do you have an HOA? And if you do is there any regulation?

If you have an HOA about 90% of the time there is going to be some type of approval required to start any modifications to your home. This typically involves submitting detailed documentation of the exact project details. HOA typically approve a span of one to two weeks.

5. Is your surrounding areas surrounded by trees or brush?

Trees or other brush is great for shade or decoration, but they can cause a lot of discoloration over time. This could be from staining the pavers or an accumulation of dirt. The best solution for this is to add liquid sealant. This will not only help prevent discoloration, but will further prevent weeds to accumulate and grow in between the pavers.

6. What is my estimated shape and size of the area needing hardscaping?

The larger the area the price of cost decreases drastically per square footage.  While the style of layout cuts, including curved lines will also play a part depending on the hardscaping installed.
