| About Me | When you plan to pave an outdoor space, the most important decision you need to make is whether to use unit pavers, slab paving, or crushed stone. (Using crushed stone or pea stone on top of a compacted base is a viable third option if you are on a strict budget and the patio is not going to be used for entertaining.) Although pouring a slab of concrete might seem like the easiest thing to do, the benefit of using patio pavers is that they won’t crack like a concrete slab is liable to do. The reason for the cracking is that the earth beneath us is not locked in place. It moves as the soil expands and contracts. Frost heaves are the most obvious results of this cycle of expansion and contraction. A solid slab is not flexible and will crack unless it has expansion joints installed, like a sidewalk does. tłuczeń |
