If you are considering installing Brick Pavers in Sarasota, FL, you will find there are several sizes, shapes and colors to choose from. Pavers are commonly used to improve the look of a driveway, walkway or patio as well as decking for a swimming pool that has been installed by Sparkling Kleen Pools and Spas. Pavers are very durable as well as affordable, so they make the ideal addition to any exterior or interior area where you want to create a unique look. One of the best benefits of using pavers is that if one or more of them become damaged, they can be easily replaced without having to break-up concrete.

Although Brick Pavers in Sarasota, FL are the most commonly used type of paver, there are pavers available in a wide range of materials that can be independently or mixed with brick pavers. Some of the other types of commonly used pavers include:

  • Travertine, which is excellent for using around your new pool. Travertine pavers stay cool in the hot sun, which makes them easier to walk on. Travertine has a non-slip finish, making them idea for areas such as the pool where safety is an issue and they are extremely durable as well as excellent for retaining its color overtime.
  • Granite is considered the strongest type of stone available for pavers. It is slightly more expensive than some of the other materials, but it is very difficult to damage granite. This type of paver is typically used in an area where you expect to have a lot of foot traffic.
  • Sandstone pavers are made with sedimentary rock, so they are a porous type of paver, which means they can withstand heavy rain storms or extensive watering, such as in the garden. Sandstone pavers are easy to install and are typically used in areas such as a pathway that is heavily used or around a flower bed.

The majority of pavers can be used in almost any area, but when choosing the best paver for your project, it is important to consider the amount of traffic and the type of look you want to achieve.
