Paving Stone Installation Not a DIY Project
2
There are homeowners who believe that they can do
everything that a qualified masonry contractor
can do, as long as they have a do-it-yourself
manual or video. However, there are tasks such
as paving stone installation for the driveway or
walkway that can be quite an uphill task.
Paving stone installation requires a lot of
preparation work that you cannot do effectively
as a layperson and, as a result, you are better
off seeking the services of a skilled paving
stone contractor. Only an experienced driveway
contractor can ensure that you end up with a
driveway that is surfaced excellently most
contractors today have websites where you can
read about them and see part of their work before
you even decide to contact them.

Many homeowners today dont spare an effort to
make sure that their homes have beautiful
exteriors in the name of lovely courtyards and
gardens. In addition to trimming such a garden,
it is necessary for you to maintain its beauty by
ensuring that there are secure walkways that
allow people to walk around the garden without
destroying the plants. A qualified walkway
contractor will ensure that all the bricks,
flagstones, and tiles are installed effectively
and securely so that they last long and
complement all your gardening and landscaping
efforts.

As a homeowner it is your obligation to try and
identify highly qualified paving stone
contractors who have a good reputation so you can
be sure to get a good value for your money you
want to avoid dealing with unscrupulous driveway
contractors who do shameful and embarrassing work
and whose main objective is to make a quick buck.

One of the best ways to check on the reputation
of any paver stones contractor is to interrogate
their past jobs and their customer care skills.
Apart from what they have written on their
websites, you want to get contacts of a few of
their past customers and interrogate them
regarding the quality of their work.

Once you have chosen a walkway builder, you must
ensure that you have a written contract that will
be signed by both of you before they commence on
the project make sure that you read and clearly
understand every clause of the contract. A good
contract form indicates the cost of materials,
the approximate time of completion and the kind
of warranty offered by the walkway builder
signing a written contract ensures that you both
keep your ends of the agreement to avoid any
misunderstandings. Take note also that as a
homeowner, you may be better off dealing with a
small local driveway contractor bigger companies
are used to serving institutions and their
services are likely to be priced higher than 
what most homeowners would call acceptable
