Brick Pavers
A manufactured product, brick pavers are made with cement, sand, fine aggregates and water, which is mixed together and fired in a kiln at high temperatures to produce the finished product. Known to last a lifetime, brick pavers are highly versatile, durable and strong.
Applications
The main applications for brick pavers include driveways, pool surrounds, patios, sidewalks, and walkways.
Benefits
The numerous benefits of brick pavers include durability and strength, flexible integrity, long term cost benefits, ease of repair and recycling, non-slip surface, fast installation, environmental responsibility, color integrity, and low maintenance.
In addition to their many practical benefits, brick pavers are extremely versatile and may be used in many different design variations and different settings to achieve a refined architectural appearance.
Maintenance
While it is not entirely necessary, you may wish to have your contractor seal brick pavers to protect them from dirt and discoloration. As time passes, if they become discolored or dull, simply wash them with soap and water and a high pressure hose and reseal once again.
Brick Paver Colors
The colors of brick pavers are determined by the raw clay material, the quarry, the firing process, and manufacturers’ additives. Brick surfaces may be varied with sand coats, additives and slurry, or by changing the firing temperature. The “flashing technique” used during high temperature firing will make brick darker.
Special Designs and Shapes
Instead of utilizing standard sized bricks for larger areas, consider utilizing a larger size brick paver because their proportion may be best suited to a larger scale area. Also, they are faster to install.
Other types of clay paver shapes suit special requirements for such issues as noise reduction, water permeability, and grass growth.
Nowadays, brick pavers are being molded into special shapes such as keyholes, fans, x’s and w’s.

Here is what has been said about our Paving Stones Contractors:
California Construction Center is a wonderful company. These guys are truly concerned with the happiness and satisfaction of the homeowner. The foreman was always asking me if I was happy with the work. If I wanted any changes made, they were taken care of right away. There was always someone available to take my calls, and if I did have to leave a message, I would get a call back in minutes. All unforeseen work that wasn’t incorporated into the original bid was addressed with out them asking for more money. I am sincerely very happy with them and the work. These guys seem to be the only company that tells the truth. They were upfront about every aspect of the project. Everything that was on the contract was done. They genuinely care about the customer.
California Construction center did a really great job for me. They pay a lot attention to customer satisfaction. The guys running the show do a great job planning and organizing, and the crew does a wonderful job executing. All and all, it was a very positive experience and I would happily recommend these guys to others.
