Hardscaping… Why Choose Brick Pavers  over Poured Concrete?
by Doro Landscape & Design

Versatility & Lifespan are the key features that make Brick Paver installations a much more attractive Hardscape option. From Patios, Walkways, Sitting Walls, Fire Pits and more… the creative options are as vast as ones imagination.
With greater strength and artistic possibilities brick materials add aesthetic as well as monetary value to your home or business.

With proper construction, brick pavers have a far longer lifespan than poured concrete. Damaged or settled bricks are easily replaced and re-laid in the area to its original beauty, while replaced concrete areas need to “cure” to match the surrounding undamaged area. Properly installed brickwork begins with a solid foundation. This foundation must be at the proper depth & constructed of the proper materials in order to achieve a long lasting & low maintenance hardscape.

Craftsmanship:  A brick patio is like a puzzle and requires custom pieces & professional working knowledge of brick materials. Keep in mind that the popular DIY programs provide very basic information thus if you want a professional installation (which means a long lasting installation) contact a Design & Installation Pro and who better than Doro Landscape & Design who provides quality craftsmanship to accommodate all of your projects needs.

Installation Overview:  After the base is correctly installed (which includes Doro Landscapes triple tamping / base compaction process), the full bricks are often set first (which tend to create the majority of the overall patten), followed by the soldier course & custom cut pieces. The last two remaining steps are to sweep a fine, dry sand between the brick seams and then use a power / plate tamper to compact the new patio or walkway.

Tools of the trade: Transit Levels, Strings Lines / line levels, Mason Saws, Diamond Blades, Skid Steers, Rock Hammers, Plate Tampers, Grading Rakes, etc, we utilize what your project requires in order to achieve the very best in Craftsmanship & Industry Standards.

The types and colors of brick on the market today along with the many variations of patterns and borders available will make your new patio or walkway a wonderful addition to your home or business.

We suggest using Unilock or Belgard paver & retaining wall products for their Strength, Versatility, Color Options and Professional Reliability.
