1. The Durability of Concrete Pavers

The physical properties of the RCP Bella Vista interlocking pavers allow for nearly 4 times the load bearing weight of a standard concrete slab, (Approximately 8000psi compared to 2000psi of some concrete slabs). This high strength of the concrete pavers allows for heavier loads and longer life than that of standard concrete or asphalt. When looking at the durability of asphalt surfaces it must be noted that they have only moderate strength and will break down with traffic over time. With gravel, due to the fact that it is not permanent, it will require regular filling and therefore does not provide a durable, long-lasting surface for such applications as driveways, pathways, or patio areas.

2. The Flexibility of Concrete Pavers

The flexibility of an interlocking concrete paver system allows for adjust to the environment as well as avoiding seismic distortion and cracking. In the case of concrete slabs, there is a lack of flexibility which will lead to shrinkage and cracking over time. Although somewhat flexible, the same is true with asphalt as it will crack over time and soften with high temperatures. The flexibility of concrete pavers over other paving materials add to the longevity of the concrete paver system, providing you will a long-lasting paving option.

. Repair and Maintenance of Concrete Pavers

Repair and maintenance of interlocking pavers is simple, easy and affordable. If for some reason a paver becomes damaged or stained, you simply need to remove the offending paver(s) and replace it with a new paver(s). Repair and maintenance of concrete slabs and asphalt are more complicated. Stains and cracks to concrete slabs and asphalt lead to expensive and time consuming resurfacing projects which will likely occur multiple times over the lifetime of the paved area. As far as gravel areas, they must be filled in frequently. Over time and with use, the surface will become uneven.

4. Concrete Pavers are Easy to Maintain

Keep pavers looking like new by sealing them with one of the many concrete sealers sold at RCP every 12 to 18 months, depending on how much traffic the area receives. It also may be necessary to add joint sand to your interlocking concrete paver area every so often to replace any sand that has been swept or washed away.

Can u explain the bold point further?
Will all these steps really put a complete end to weed growth on interlocks?

Compact before the screening and after screening Using a compacting roller. I'd advice using stone dust as your screening material instead of sharp sand. But when using sharp sand, be sure to a load high in silica.

In parks, driveways and path ways I always see beautiful concrete interlocking pavers. It adds to the beauty of the place and breaks the monotony of plain concrete or asphalt roads. Based on researches, concrete interlocking materials when installed in a good ground can last a long time. However, this kind of concrete installation requires maintenance for you to be able to make the most out of it.

You consider yourself lucky enough if paver installer or manufacturer gave you a briefing on the basic maintenance techniques for your perusal. However, if you lack the necessary information chances are, you will not be able to keep the beauty and strength of your concrete pavement. It is therefore worthy to consider the following tips.

· Remove stains from oil

If you happen to see oil stains on your pavement coming from cars and other oil-producing products, it is advisable that you clean it right away before it will penetrate deeper. You can brush off some excess oils with detergent. You may pour on hot water on the stained area if the stain is very hard to remove.

· Take away the evil weeds

Weeds may grow in between pavers from seeds carried by wind. You can remove the weeds manually or by applying herbicides.

· Seal it

Apply sealers to the pavement to hold the sand together. If it is strong and stable, chances are it will also keep other factors such weed and dirt to accumulate deep within.

· Clean it

Regular cleaning and repairing would play a great role in keeping your pavement as good as it should be
