To create that Perfect Patio, start with "clay pavers". Do you want to install brick pavers over an existing concrete or asphalt driveway, patio or walk? Brick paving can be installed over existing concrete or asphalt as long as it is in reasonable good shape. To ensure an adequate foundation for the brick, the existing concrete slab or asphalt should be inspected and repaired as necessary. Any cracks, chips, holes, ruts or spalls should be repaired in order to achieve a flat surface.

Pavers can then be placed in the desired pattern. The bricks should be placed as close to each over as possible. IT may be necessary to cut some of the brick near the opening. Once the brick are in place, the perimeter, use a K-1 grout fortifier to set the pavers. Sweep away excess surface sand and the brick pavement are ready for traffic. Mortared brickwork should not be laid on asphalt.
