Why paving stone repointing is essential for the durability of your landscaping

You’ve invested in a beautiful interlocking pavement layout on your property on the North Shore. To ensure its longevity and stability, one crucial step is often overlooked: jointing. At Pavé Proseal, we understand how important well-maintained joints are for the durability of your pavement.

The Essential Role of Pavement Joints:

The joints between the pavers are not just a matter of appearance. They serve several key functions:

• Structural Stability: The joints help evenly distribute the weight and pressure exerted on the pavement surface. This prevents individual pavers from shifting, which could lead to cracks, subsidence, or unwanted movement.

• Drainage: Properly filled joints allow water to drain, preventing stagnation and reducing the risk of erosion beneath the surface. This also helps minimize damage caused by freezing and thawing, a critical issue on the North Shore.

• Weed and Insect Prevention: Damaged or empty joints create an ideal space for weeds and insects to thrive. A high-quality jointing, such as with G2 SuperSand products, creates an effective and long-lasting barrier.

The Consequences of Neglecting Jointing:

Without proper jointing, your pavement is more vulnerable to several issues:

• Paver Movement: You may notice pavers moving or becoming loose.

• Uneven and Hazardous Surface: Poorly jointed pavers can cause trip hazards.

• Water Infiltration: Improperly maintained joints can lead to excessive water infiltration, causing damage to the foundation.

• Weed and Insect Growth: Unmaintained joints allow unwanted vegetation to grow, complicating the general upkeep.
