Pavements is an essential part of every home\u2019s landscape design. An issue with anything built in the outdoors is weathering and maintenance. The base of your pavement helps it function well and protect it. The question now is, what is the best base for pavers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best base for your paver will mainly depend on the type of pavement you want and your immediate environment’s conditions. Generally, the purpose of the base is to prevent weathering and provide support, both of which prolong the longevity of your pavement.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The base for pavements often takes the longest to set upright. The reason as to why the base is so important is because of its functions which are to provide adequate drainage for your pavements and help it distribute loads to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paver base is there to help provide a good footing for your pavement. A home\u2019s foundation needs to be set on flattened ground, and the same rings true for pavements to prevent any cracks from forming. Paver bases are often quite thick, compared to the pavements on them, and are made out of hard materials that are naturally weather-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A paver base needs to be thick because soil tends to be unstable and shifts around. Different soil types need to be taken into account as some move more than others or tend to grow plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, a paver base is often constructed in a way that disperses rainwater from your pavements to the surrounding soil to prevent it from damaging your pavement. Any material continuously exposed to water will degrade over time, so we must have a way to redirect it away from our pavements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you experience winter or changing seasons in your area, a paver base helps prevent your pavement from warping due to the changes in the ground caused by frost. Having a solid base reinforces your pavements by that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are different types of bases, each with pros and cons. The main way to decide which one to go with should be based on the type of pavement you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More often than not, we need to adjust the base to this so that the pavement you choose will be compatible with the soil. You can opt to have different types of paver base used simultaneously, depending on the immediate environmental conditions and as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Paver Base: An Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
