In driving through a residential neighborhood, one of the things that will grab one's attention are driveways and walks that are outstanding in design and construction. Many of these are concrete pavers. A paver made from pre-cast brick or concrete is available in a number of colors, which provide a pleasing effect on the surrounding areas.

When looking for something special, paving stones are an excellent selection for patios, walkways, decking and other locations. They come in a wide selection regarding shapes, patterns, colors and textures. This would include such materials as slate, bluestone, limestone, sandstone, brick and granite.

Retaining walls are used to restrict earth movement and are in backyards or other locations that have an embankment. There are several different types of installation. They are sheet pile, cantilevered, gravity and anchored. Regardless of the installation used, when it is put together with stone paving, the color and style will allow it to make a personal statement that is outstanding.

Another type of retaining wall is made with Versa-Lok blocks. These lock together and also offer a wide range of sizes, colors and options, which allow for many choices of application. This is one of the least expensive products for this type of installation and, best of all, you can install it yourself if you wish. The blocks are thick concrete with no sections vulnerable to damage and provide a very attractive appearance.

Monocast pavers present another type of design that a number of people prefer. They are a solid, one-cast paver that has color which is distributed throughout. This means that no matter how much wear might occur there will never be any fading of color.

Experienced installers learn their trade with classes, apprenticeship or on-the-job programs. They use their high skills to produce proper installation of these decorative pavers. The result will adds beauty and value to your home, as well as presenting pleasure in a job well done.
