3Natural Stone Pavers
- The term stone pavers is a generic one because
it is used to describe a broad range of natural
stone pavers - Stone pavers are found already existing in the
earth and have been formed by natural forces
during millions of years. Stone pavers are
obtained either by being mined at a natural stone
deposit, called a quarry, or collected from a
rock outcrop
4Advantages of Natural Stone Pavers
- 1. Make your garden or driveway versatile.
Concrete or cheap paint will not allow you to
have the range of shades you need to create a
beautiful landscape. More so, the pigmentation of
the natural stone is very different from
concrete. Natural stone has all hues captured in
one stone. - 2. Natural stone pavers will retain their
beauty for decades. On the other hand, concrete
loses its newness in a very short time as it is a
mixture of different stones. - 3. Natural stone can adjust to the
temperature especially in the winters when the
pavements mostly cause accidents because of
frosting. - 4. Since concrete is made out of other
stones and impurities, with time, it starts
exposing those impurities. Natural stone on the
other hand is naturally beautiful. - 5. Natural stone does not require painting
and polishing every now and them like concrete.
All you need to do is clean it and it will be as
good as new.
5Advantages of Natural Stone Pavers(contd)
- 6. Natural stone will add value to your
property as it has always been used as a sign of
luxury. Concrete on the other hand makes the
place look cheap. - 7. The cost of the natural stone for
pavements is far less than the concrete. Why?
Because of the durability. Marble stone not only
looks good but is also more durable and
retainable than concrete. This gives it an edge
over concrete regarding the price. - 8. Using sustainable stones is environment
friendly. This duty should be considered by
everyone. Concrete has the tendency to pollute
your surroundings. More so, natural stones are
re-generated with time, not as fast as trees, but
they do. - 9. Concrete can become a home to dust and
dirt. On the other hand, paving stones do not
absorb anything. The dirt rests on the surface.
All you have to do is clean it. - 10. Natural stone is always in the phase of
development. It never gets old. In fact, with
time natural stone starts looking better.
Concrete on the other hand gets older with time.
