Brick, Stone & Paver Patios and Walkways
While a nondescript driveway certainly serves its purpose, a custom installation can change the look and feel of your landscape. A brick or paver custom driveway doesn’t just look beautiful; it also increases your home’s curb appeal and resale value.
At Masonworks Landscapes, we design and build custom driveways for businesses and homes in Melrose, Massachusetts, and the surrounding areas. With our attention to detail and unmatched customer service, it’s easy to see why the area’s property owners count on us for custom driveway and walkway installation.
The Benefits of Custom Paver Driveways
Our custom paver driveway installation services have numerous benefits for your commercial or residential property. Learn more about these benefits in the sections below.
A Range of Materials
Pavers come in numerous materials: clay, concrete, brick, and natural stone, to name a few. Each material has unique benefits, comes at different price points, and can change your property’s aesthetic. Concrete pavers, for instance, are the most cost-effective option. Clay pavers are a middle-of-the-road option that can last for years, and brick has qualities that can’t easily be replicated. While natural stone is the costliest choice, it makes up for it in terms of longevity and beauty.
Pavers in All Sizes and Shapes
No matter which materials are used, it’s possible to find pavers in almost any size or shape. Most pavers are rectangular or square, but we also install them in circular and freeform shapes. Call us today to discuss your paver needs.
Unique Patterns
Because our pavers come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, we can create an infinite number of patterns and styles to give each driveway a unique and memorable look. Our design experts can create styles that suit your home’s architecture, or you can look at our portfolio for inspiration. Contact us now to schedule a design consultation.
A Sustainable Option
Custom paver driveways are an excellent choice for property owners who want to reduce their carbon footprint. For instance, permeable pavers let moisture soak in between their gaps. Other driveways are a significant cause of runoff pollution because there’s no way for water to soak into the soil. Our permeable pavers don’t have these issues because they allow runoff to get into the ground safely and naturally.
Increased Durability
Because of the way they’re made, paver driveways are less susceptible to damage than concrete and other installations. The pieces making up a paver driveway allow for the miniscule ground shifts that come with temperature fluctuations. Therefore, a paver driveway can get through hot summers and cold winters without suffering cracks and other damage.
Low Maintenance
Because they’re so durable, custom paver driveways require little or no maintenance. By comparison, concrete and asphalt driveways require quite a bit of work to retain their good looks. To make them even easier to maintain, we can use a paver sealer to prevent rubber, gas, and oil stains. With proper sealer application, running water is all that’s needed to clean up spills.
Easy Repairs
If, for any reason, your paver driveway suffers damage, the fix is very easy. Rather than using an unsightly patch or digging up the entire area, it’s simple to replace just the affected area. Because paver driveways consist of small parts, we can remove the broken pieces and install new ones. That’s why paver driveways are such a common choice among the area’s busy and budget-conscious property owners.
No Waiting and Curing Time
Poured concrete and asphalt driveways typically have an extended curing period, during which it’s impossible to utilize the area as intended. With custom pavers, however, there’s no waiting involved. Once the clay, stone, or brick is in place, your family can use the driveway with no issues. Get in touch with us today to take advantage of this fast, easy, and long-lasting solution.
Better Traction
The bricks and small pieces of rock that make up paver driveways allow property owners to have more traction underneath their tires than that provide by a smooth asphalt or concrete driveway. That’s especially important in Melrose and other parts of Massachusetts, where winter can get quite snowy. Custom pavers provide an additional layer of security and ensure that drivers don’t have to worry about their wheels slipping during harsh weather.
A Longer Lifespan
The average paver driveway may last 20 years or more when it’s properly maintained. This type of longevity, of course, is dependent on the surface being installed properly. To get the longest life out of your custom driveway, schedule an appointment with us today.
Though it’s possible to install pavers with DIY methods, it’s recommended to seek help from trained professionals. With our assistance, you can rest assured that your driveway has been installed safely and correctly.
