When you have a paver driveway, the smooth surface where you park your vehicles also doubles as a beautiful design flourish for your home. However, over time, the wear and tear on your paving stones will begin to show, indicating the need for repaving. Below, learn more about how to tell when your driveway’s masonry needs an overhaul.

When Do You Need to Replace Your Driveway's Masonry?

1. Cracks

Your driveway’s masonry may show signs of cracking due to impacts, heavy vehicles, or repeated driving on the surface. While you can usually replace individual stone blocks that have a break, if the majority of the masonry shows cracking, crumbling, or other physical damage, it may be time for new driveway.

2. Poor Drainage 

masonryWhen water begins to pool on your driveway, moisture will seep between the stone blocks and erode the materials beneath. Over time, this can warp the masonry and even cause your driveway to lose structural integrity. Landscaping professionals can add trench drains to divert water away from the stones. 

3. Diminished Aesthetics

If your driveway shows signs of cracking, warping, fading, and other issues, it will reduce the curb appeal of your home. Redoing the masonry will improve the appearance of your property and make it safer and more welcoming for your guests. 

4. End of Lifespan

The average stone driveway lasts approximately 30 years with proper care. If your masonry is near or past this age, schedule a replacement to avoid damaging your vehicles or causing injuries.
