FAQs About Driveway Pavers
What paver thickness is best for driveways?
Most concrete driveway pavers are about 2⅜" thick and around 8,000 PSI. De Terra natural stone driveway pavers are offered in 1¼" and 2" thicknesses and test over 15,000 PSI. The 1¼" option is rated for residential driveways; 2" is ideal for heavier or commercial use. The 3-piece pattern helps distribute load for long-term performance.
Are natural stone driveway pavers better than concrete?
For driveways, yes. Concrete pavers commonly fade, crack, or expose aggregate over time. De Terra sandstone and limestone are denser, colorfast, easier to repair, and deliver long-term value and curb appeal without the patchwork look of concrete repairs.
Is travertine good for driveway pavers?
Generally no. Travertine is more porous with natural voids and is better suited to patios or pool decks, not vehicle loads. De Terra uses dense Indian sandstone and limestone designed for driveway traffic, freeze–thaw, and de-icing salts.
How soon can I drive on De Terra pavers?
Immediately after compaction and jointing. There’s no curing time like concrete. Install, compact, joint, and the driveway is ready for use.
Do natural stone driveway pavers crack in winter or hot climates?
De Terra’s dense sandstone and limestone handle freeze–thaw cycles, heat, and road salts without the spalling and surface wear common to concrete. Natural color stays stable year after year.
Are De Terra driveway pavers slippery?
No. The textured faces and tumbled or processed edges provide good traction, making them a safe choice for driveways, patios, and pool decks.
Can I install De Terra myself if I’ve laid concrete pavers?
If you’ve installed concrete pavers before, you can install De Terra. The process is the same: prepare the base, add bedding sand, lay the pattern, compact, and joint. For large driveways, hiring a pro can save time and ensure top results.
Are natural stone driveway pavers more expensive than concrete?
Upfront, usually yes (moderately). Over the life of the driveway, De Terra’s durability, ease of repair, and color integrity often reduce maintenance and replacement costs, delivering stronger lifetime value than concrete.
What’s the best pattern for driveway pavers?
A 3-piece modular pattern (like De Terra’s) helps disperse weight, minimizes repeating joints, and creates a timeless, high-end look. It’s also efficient for contractors to lay.
Do De Terra driveway pavers fade like concrete?
Natural stone has through-body color; there’s no pigment layer to wear off and no aggregate exposure like concrete. Expect stable, natural color with routine care.
