Driveway pavers in Long Island, NY are very easily maintained. For the most part, you can just leave them alone. As long as they’ve been properly sealed and the foundation work was lain correctly, all that is needed is the occasional refill of joint sand. This can be done every two or three years, along with a simple reseal every few years. The polymer sand will strengthen the unit, and ensure that the bricks don’t move around on you. Otherwise, just make sure dirt doesn’t enter the joints, wash off any oil or grease stains with a power washer, and your driveway pavers will be good to go.

What’s the difference between types of Long Island, NY driveway pavers?
There are many different types of materials for driveway pavers in Long Island, NY. And each type has its own pros and cons. When examining concrete driveway pavers, know that these are some of the cheapest, and most long lasting materials available. However, they’re prone to damage in extremely cold weather. Brick pavers are certainly eye-catching, but rather expensive to install. Crushed stone is very inexpensive and comes in a wide variety of colors. The downside is that it makes snow removal difficult. Natural stone pavers are some of the more expensive types, but look amazing. Granite in particular has a very unique glossy shine to it. While basalt is comparable, and low price, it takes far less maintenance to keep up. It does, however, require much more effort to be aligned correctly. Finally, cobblestone is a very unique and stylistic type of paver, but is also much more expensive to install and maintain.
