  1. Tactics to Extend the Life of Your Paved Walkways

  2. Use a concrete slab base Uneven settling is one of the most common problems people have with paved sideways. Due to changing temperatures of the seasons and the shifting of the ground beneath us, the design of walkways is bound to change. With time and changes in temperature, your walkways will develop gaps and become uneven, which can be tripping hazards. However, in worst-case scenarios, they may crack and crumble. It is best to call in professional paving contractors to take look at what is causing the cracking or uneven spacing.

  3. Manage plant growth If trees and bushes along the walkway passage are not managed properly, they can compromise the integrity of your concrete. They can grow beneath the concrete and push it up causing cracks; and once it gets to that, you will need to replace your walkway. This, however, can be avoided by regularly trimming the plants and removing trees that develop an extensive root system.

  4. Seal the walkways after installation It might be worthwhile to seal your walkways once they are properly installed over a concrete slab base. Sealing prevents water damage and protects your walkways from all types of staining by preventing the stone exterior, which is naturally porous, from absorbing any liquids. Hence, not only does sealing safeguard your walkways from moss and fungus, but it also keeps them from decolorizing.

  5. Keep it Clean With the cycle of seasons, your paved walkways experience different sorts of activities. Water and soil can wear away at the stone and natural metals, and this can happen to your paved walkways too if you do not keep them clean. Hence, you will be required to sweep or blow dirt and debris off your walkways. Make sure to spray them down with water and trim the plants around your walkway’s surface.
