Travertine King Suggests Homeowners Consider Pavers for New Driveways for Functionality As Well As Look
Smithtown, NY (PRWEB) February 26, 2014 -- Travertine King Inc, a direct importer and distributor of travertine, granite and marble pavers for the Long Island region, is recommending that homeowners on Long Island considering new driveways look closely at the benefits of paver driveways over traditional blacktop and cement, especially in terms of repair costs after rough winters.
With 5 harsh winter storms in the rear-view mirror, Long Island is happily watching the mounds of snow disappear. But what remains are damaged roadways still caked with the residue of sand, rock salt and other snow melting materials. For black top and cement driveways, they are susceptible to the same damage as the road ways as these materials are deposited by parked cars. Over time, the residue of these materials will infiltrate black top and cement driveway causing them to break down and crack.This will lead to repair work that will only increase over time. For the owners of homes with paver driveways, the risk is minimal and this should influence the homeowners looking to install new driveways.
Another factor that paver driveways can handle far better than black top or cement is the spring thaw, where the ground underneath expands and contracts. For the rigid black top and cement driveways, cracks and bumps will appear that, over time, can turn into issues that will require repair. For the owners of paver-based driveways, the structure of driveway having a flexible base of sand or crushed stone and consist of multiple stones that are more flexible in their movement. This allows the driveway to give as needed and when the thaw is done the individual stones can be pressed back to level without the intervention of a professional company making a service call. In the end, the overall savings to the homeowner over time can be substantial. Additionally, as pavers can be easily cleaned and resealed, they will retain a beautiful appearance with regular care. In the end, new homeowners looking for beauty, durability and an overall cost-effective alternative should look strongly at a paver-based driveway.
