Mortarless Natural Paving Stones

Mortarless pavers are the preferred natural paver for high-traffic areas, such as driveways. The main reason is flexibility. Unlike mortared pavers, which are set into hardened, inflexible mortar, mortarless pavers are applied onto and between a special mix of sand. This sand is both hard and flexible, allowing for some movement under the weight of cars, trucks or just feet, thus preventing much of the cracking that plagues mortared natural pavers.

Natural stone pavers are incredibly durable and will not fade. Combined with a mortarless application, the surface should last 25-30 years or longer. Should a paver ever crack or break, its removal is very easy compared to the arduous hammer-and-chisel work necessary to remove its mortared counterparts.

You may hear about interlocking paving stones during discussions about mortarless pavers. These indeed are strong and mortarless, but very unlikely to be made from natural stone without being very expensive. Interlocking pavers are modular, or man-made to fit together by design, and therefore are commonly made from a more moldable substance like concrete. Interlocking pavers will still use sand as a base.

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.
