1. Do pavers need a gravel base?

Most conventional paver installations require a properly compacted aggregate base. The depth depends on soil conditions, expected loads, and the intended application.

2. Are pavers easier to repair than poured concrete?

Individual pavers can often be lifted and replaced when damaged or when underground repairs are necessary. However, widespread settling may require correcting the underlying base.

3. Can weeds grow between installed pavers?

Yes. Weed seeds can settle in joints and germinate when organic material accumulates. Proper joint materials and periodic cleaning help limit growth.
