FAQs
How long will a typical concrete paving slab last?
With the right care and usage, concrete paving slabs can last for decades. Concrete is a very strong material, with inbuilt resistance to harsh weather conditions and subsequent erosion. It is also able to support heavy loads and immense amounts of foot traffic regularly, for years, without the need for complicated or expensive maintenance.
What size of concrete paving slabs can I get?
We are able to source just about any size you require, from as small as 12x12 inches and as large as 36 x 36 inches. Most commonly, concrete paving slabs range from 18 to 24 inches squared. You can also get them in a variety of thicknesses, from 1.5 to 3 inches or more.
How are concrete paving slabs installed?
To properly lay your concrete paving slabs, you need to prepare the area correctly by laying a solid base of sand or gravel, and then levelling the surface carefully. From there, you can lay your paving slabs in whatever pattern you require, filling any gaps with mortar or sand. We recommend hiring professional installers to handle this process for you, if you lack experience.
What is the best way to maintain my concrete paving slabs?
To keep your concrete paving slabs looking and feeling good, you should regularly clean away any debris or mess, to avoid damage and staining, as well as apply a sealant to protect against wear and UV deterioration. You should also be aware of any cracks or signs of damage, which can worsen quickly when left unchecked. Either fill the damage or replace the slab in question to ensure safety and overall integrity.
How much do concrete paving slabs cost?
Because we source all of our concrete paving slabs on demand, and most are made bespoke, we are unable to offer a solid price. But if you need to budget for your upcoming project, feel free to get in touch with our team – who will be able to offer a quote for your requested paving solution.
Are concrete paving slabs environmentally friendly?
The eco-friendliness of concrete paving slabs will always depend on how they are made, and what raw materials are used in their making. As long as all aggregates have been sourced sustainably (and ideally recycled) then you can be sure that your concrete paving slabs have not had a negative impact on the environment. We do our best to only source the best quality concrete for all our landscaping products, and sustainability plays a vital role in that.
Can I paint my concrete paving slabs?
Yes, you can paint and stain concrete relatively easily. Doing so will enhance the overall appearance of your paving and help it to integrate well with the surrounding area. Just make sure to choose paints and staining products that have been designed for outdoor application on concrete surfaces.
How should I clean my concrete paving slabs?
The best way to clean concrete paving slabs is with a bristled brush or pressure washer. This will ensure all dirt and stains are removed before they can set in. Try to avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, as these could damage the concrete’s surface layer.
