This new paver driveway improves curb appeal, value, and satisfaction for this Jacksonville Beach homeowner. \u201cJohn (Cacchione) came up with a wonderful plan,\u201d said Homeowner Faith Stone. \u201cAnd I met with him and reviewed the plan and said this is it.\u201d The plan included tearing out and removing the existing concrete driveway and replacement with Tremron glacier colored 12\u201d x 24\u201d pavers in the Park Plaza style and landscaping. \u201cIt has transformed our house,\u201d said Stone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pavers are attractive, safe, and considering permeability, they are better for the environment than poured concrete which has a shorter average lifespan before cracking. \u201cI see that a lot, with new homes, some of the older buildings, even some of the new projects with concrete driveways are cracked with trees by them, with heavy machinery on them, with water from the roof eroding underneath them,\u201d said John Cacchione, Earth Works landscape designer. \u201cThe pavers are a good replacement.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cracked and uneven concrete driveways leave bad first impressions as they are an eyesore, tripping, and driving hazard. \u201cBeyond the installation, a paver driveway is a better investment because it lasts longer and adds curb appeal to your home,\u201d says Home Advisor.<\/a> \u201cThe average paver driveway lasts between 30 and 50 years. Pavers are up to four times stronger than poured concrete, meaning they can support four times as much weight. Slabs tend to crack over time, while pavers can come loose individually.”<\/p>\r\n
