🛑 Don't Make This Costly Patio Mistake!
It can be incredibly frustrating to invest time and money into a beautiful outdoor space, only to watch the color chip away after just a few seasons. When you are picking out concrete pavers for your next project, there is one crucial question you must ask your supplier: Are these through-mix pavers?
Here is a quick breakdown of what you need to know before you buy:
Face-Mix (The Big Box Store Special): To cut costs, many manufacturers only put color dye in the top few millimeters of the concrete. If the paver chips or wears down, permanent gray spots are left exposed, ruining the look of your patio.
Through-Mix (The Premium Standard): High-quality pavers have the color pigment blended seamlessly through the entire block from top to bottom. Even if they get deeply scratched, the color remains exactly the same!
Don't build your dream space only to watch it chip away. At American Paving Design, we use high-quality, durable materials that are built to withstand the test of time.
