#1. Choosing A Pavement Installation Contractor

Just as anything and everything in life, you should never forget how important and calculative the power of comparison can be. This is exactly why you need to keep in mind that there are certain estimates you must obtain before choosing the right contractor for your next paving installation. Do not just randomly go for a cheap bid. There is legwork that you need to go in order to be able to effectively compare the companies and their products and services that are available to you, so as to come to a final decision and get the best results. There are various levels and types of quality, service as well as craftsmanship. It is recommended that you, as a buyer, scrutinize all the competitive quotes, before coming to a final conclusion. You must make sure that the pavement installation contractor sticks to the legalities and guidelines during the course of work.

#2. Insufficient or Ineffective Planning

A lot of people take some time to think about the landscaping once the installation of paving is done, but this is a big mistake. It is, of course, important to consider landscaping and look at the several options, or where you would really like to include the outdoor plants or the directional outdoor lighting before the project begins. Perhaps you have started the work and extend to have landscapes or plantations, it is important to consult with the contractor you should rather talk to your chosen contractor before or during the paving installation so that the workers can prepare the spaces accordingly. It would also be more expensive to have to install water, gas and electrical lines after the work are complete have been completed. You can consider asking your contractor to install some empty sleeves under Neath or wait for the lines to be laid and then complete the pavement work

#3. Not Sampling Bricks and Concrete

There are actual stone samples that you would like to use when you are choosing the best paving material for your project. You should definitely take a look at these samples, along with the basic catalogs and brochures that will be provided to you. These actual stone samples need to be inspected directly under sunlight and later on under other sets of lightings in the dark. This would help you understand how the color looks, whether or not it fades, under different lighting. Some colors happen to have a blend of tones – thus, they might vary from the batch of pavers that are being used for your project. Therefore, receiving the samples before the work begins helps you in your final decision making, saves your time and also does not bring you disappointment in the end.

#4. Wrong Patio or Driveway Paving

There are different types of pavers, specially built for different and particular areas of properties. There are sixty-millimeter pavers that have small gaps for increased comfort as well as smoothness, which are specifically the best match for patios or pool decks. Similarly, when it comes to heavy traffic areas or driveways, it is rather recommended to consult an expert. Therefore, you must look into it and talk to your contractor beforehand, to discuss the type of paving that would be the best fit for the area you are planning to work on.

#5. Negligence in Sealing the Paver

The best way to secure the paving is to apply a high-quality sealer. It does not just make it easier for you to remove basic stains, but it also seals the original texture and color and gives increased longevity. Sealers also help in giving a glossy finishing touch to the paving area, as well as enhanced color. 
Pavement work should be carried out under experienced contractors with skilled labors who can carry out the work with fewer difficulties and less time consumed.
