There are many benefits to having pavers, artificial grass, or exposed aggregate on your property. They are strong and able to withstand high traffic areas for vehicles and walkways making them a fantastic investment.
PAVING FAQ
Our pavers are made of concrete
Our pavers are dyed with special dyes to change its natural pigmentation. However, with age and sun exposure, there is no guarantee that your pavers won’t fade in colour with time.
Proper installation of pavers won’t allow for weeds to grow through, however, when plant seeds blow in the wind, they can become embedded in between the paving spaces causing possible weed growth. Sweeping your paving can help prevent this issue.
We recommend sealing the paving to remove oil stains, car tire marks and to help prevent weeds from growing.
Yes, you can have pavers at the pool area; it is also a good non-slip option
We use a quality concrete edge restraint that helps to keep the pavers in place even in extremely hot temperatures.
We use a stone grinder to make a clean-cut in the stone.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS FAQ
Artificial turf or grass is made with quality eco-friendly materials that are safe for children and pets. It goes through various stages during the manufacturing process to create the perfect thread, backing, drainage, and weather protection needed to last a long time.
Perforating takes place during the manufacturing process to allow water to drain. Perforation can weaken the backing of the grass. However, with a reinforced latex and fibreglass backing, our turf is durable and long-lasting.
Yes, our artificial turf range is made with eco-friendly materials that are not only good for the environment but also for pets. It has no heavy metals and harsh chemicals.
Yes, simply pick up the mess in a “poopscoop”, discard, then hose down the artificial turf. You can also use a variety of biodegradable solutions that will get rid of odours.
Our artificial grass is certified UV protected and can withstand high and low temperatures.
Artificial turf is made with special synthetic fibres, but unlike real grass, the colour won’t come off on clothing. Less stress more fun!
Depending on the type of turf installed, some feature curled fibres and others straight while some have a combination of both. You can simply give it a brush with a hard-bristled broom.
EXPOSED AGGREGATE FAQ
Measuring the right amount of aggregate with concrete is very important. Sometimes when too little concrete is used, stones will loosen over time and roll out of place. This again takes technical skills and calculation by our experienced team.
Concrete can be coloured to match various colours of the property. Some people match the concrete colour to the walls of the house or the bordering fence. At Royal Paving and Artificial Turf, we have a variety of colours to choose from.
When installing exposed aggregate, it’s important that the final process seals the concrete as this will contribute to its longevity. The sealer will also prevent stains from setting in such as car oil or wine if the aggregate is indoors.
Yes, you probably can seal your own concrete; however, there are more advantages when using a skilled professional. There are also special tools and techniques involved when sealing aggregate.
The style you choose depends on the look you want to achieve. You should also consider where you want the aggregate. Ask yourself a few questions like will children be walking barefoot, is it a generally high traffic area, and is it in an indoor patio? Our skilled team can help you pick the most suitable option for your home or commercial premises.
Yes, exposed aggregate is not only beautiful but also a good investment, which will add value to your home.
