Skillful paver or brick driveway installation from our team means there is virtually no height difference from one paver or brick to the other.

Similar to traditional concrete, a granular oil absorbent can be used on oil stains on paver driveways. If the oil can't be lifted from the surface, the affected pavers can simply be replaced.

While this may have been commonplace with paver driveways from the past, Pavire uses a special jointing material known as polymeric sand. Its unique properties create a weed-resistant barrier.
