Q: Can I drive on pavers?
A: Yes. Pavers have a minimum compressive strength of 8,000 p.s.i. – over three times that of concrete. Pavers look great but they also work.
Q: What is ABC?
A: Aggregate Base Course. It is the base material that should be used under pavers. It is compacted and then sand is placed on top of it.
