At Tempe Brick Pavers, we have a passion for pavers. With over 40 years of experience selling them, we have seen firsthand the versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness of pavers in various settings. Our extensive selection of pavers allows us to provide the materials needed to achieve any desired look for a stylish driveway, alfresco entertaining area or any other project you have in mind. It is essential to make the correct paver choice, but it is equally important to ensure that they are properly laid to achieve the stunning aesthetic appeal you desire.

If pavers are not installed correctly, they may shift, break or move over time, especially in areas that receive heavy foot or vehicle traffic, resulting in additional costs of relaying, repairing and replacing. It is essential to ensure that they are installed correctly to avoid these issues, the old adage “do it once and do it well” applies to laying pavers. To help you achieve this, we have created an expert guide to assist you.

If you plan to install pavers on your own, the necessary equipment such as a compactor and brick saw can be easily rented. It is essential to take safety precautions like wearing steel-toed shoes, eye protection and hearing protection. Even if you are not installing the pavers yourself, it is beneficial to understand the process to ensure that the work is done correctly to avoid additional costs for repairs and relaying. A control joint is a 10-15mm gap filled with a compressible material such as Abel Flex that is placed between sections of the paved area to account for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. These are not always necessary, but in large areas or areas with walls, kerbing or long driveways, they might be required. The spacing of control joints will depend on the pattern design and should be placed at points of stress such as re-entrant corners and at intervals not exceeding 6 meters.

When installing pavers, it is important to keep in mind that darker colors tend to expand more and that the paving will always give way at the weakest point, usually the edge restraint. This should be taken into consideration when laying the pavers and spacing the control joints. Not all pavers require sealing, but we recommend sealing masonry pavers as soon as they are laid and completely dry to help prevent the absorption of spills that could potentially cause stains. When selecting a sealer, it is recommended to consult the instructions on the packaging or speak with the manufacturer or a contractor for advice on the correct application method.
