Pavers are made of concrete and are about 2-3 times stronger, they are set on 4-6" of stone then on concrete sand leveling bed. The pavers are all independent of each other where concrete is one slab poured out of a truck and finished in place.

We offer ONLY commercial snow plowing, snow removal, trucking and ice control services.

It's personal preference. Pavers will cost more than stamped concrete, they offer higher durability and low maintenance requirements. Stamped concrete is a less expensive alternative to pavers but requires yearly / bi-yearly sealing to maintain the appearance.

Pavers:

We offer a 1 year warranty based on ICPI (Interlocking concrete paver institute) standards for any movement or settlement on pavers and walls. Many manufacturers carry a lifetime warranty on their products.

Concrete:

There is no warranty on concrete. Due to the north east climate and the nature of concrete, no warranty is given on stamped concrete, sealing or any other type of cement work. It is the owners responsbility to maintain and reseal their concrete in order to keep the appearance and durability.

Plants:

There is no warranty for plants unless otherwise specified.
