Pavers $%(@$%
I noticed someone mentioned pavers around a pool, some advice from a looney canuck who just dug up a 20 X 40 inground and replaced it with a 14 X 28 Inground. The previous pool, had pavers all around the outside permiter of the 3 ft cement wall, while it looked great upon first couple of years, every year, they previous owners had to remove at least 4 to 5 hundred, smooth out the sand and replace, not to mention they were constantly complaining about sand and ants. I know that now they have mortars that can be used, but if used, and frost lifts occur, major trouble and pain the butt. I would not recommend them at all, ask around, everyone will tell you it depends on the foundation, but find me a contractor who will quote what will be the true cost of placing all that material in, I have read they easily have to go down 3 to 4 feet to insure lil or no movement. I think once truly priced out, it will be the same cost as concrete.
Just my thoughts,
