Paving clay bricks are especially
designed for ground cover and traffic and can withstand severe temperatures and
weather conditions. Traditional clay paver bricks can be purchased with beveled
edges, chamfered edges (to help with water run off) or standard edges and come
in many different colors and finishes.
Concrete pavers manufactured by
companies such as Bolduc come in many different shapes, sizes and colors and can
support traditional and new patterns. Typical colors included Browns, Grays,
Reds and Beiges. Concrete brick pavers can support Herringbone, Basket Weave,
Running Bond, and Module patterns as well as Circles and other patterns.
Concrete brick pavers can also come in various finishes including Classic,
Antique and Grenart. Concrete paver manufactures frequently warranty their
products for up to 25 years and include protection for abnormal deterioration
due to the use of deicing salt.
Normally bricks and pavers are sold at the piece level, but frequently they
are priced on a per square foot basis. With traditional 4 inch by 8 inch bricks,
4.5 bricks are required to make one square foot.
Prices for clay paver bricks and concrete pavers vary but in general a
homeowner can expect to pay 50-75% more for concrete pavers than traditional
clay bricks. Clay brick pavers typically cost between $2.5 and $3.0 per square
foot, where as concrete brick pavers typically cost between $4.5 to $5.0 per
square foot.
Key to any successful walkway or patio construction is properly preparing the
area for supporting the bricks. It is recommended to have a base layer of 4
inches of compacted gravel and 2 inches of compacted sand for setting the clay
brick or concrete pavers on.
Whether you choose clay paver bricks or concrete paver bricks for your next
walkway or patio project, either one will dramatically enhance your home’s
appearance and provide a high return on investment.
