| *NOTE: |
Concrete pavers can add elegance, warmth, and visual excitement to any hardscape project. These high strength, low maintenance pavers have excellent color blending and color consistency. Concrete pavers are made of cement and aggregate. Pigment is added to give the brick color. The cement, which contains the pigment, can erode away over time exposing the aggregate. This can cause the brick to look like it is fading or changing color. To prevent this, a high quality protectant should be applied to the entire surface area of the project yearly. Whether it's a patio, walkway, driveway, pool deck, or courtyard, concrete paving stones provide an aesthetically pleasing solution. |
