It seems that concrete pavers are among the most popular choices when it comes to walkways leading to the pool and also driveways. When it comes to using them as pool surrounds, they have been proven to be stronger and longer lasting alternatives to concrete poured areas. The biggest advantage to these little gems is that the majority of them come with warranties, something I was unaware of when first beginning my search.
Deciding on placement of your pavered patio or driveway is not the biggest issue, however. It seems that color choices and patterns are the hardest to choose from because there are so many. Choosing from a wide variety of unique styles in not painful though, it is actually quite fun.
take a look at some of these interesting patterns (and there are plenty more where these came from):

The very first thing that has to be done in preparation for pavers is to remove and excavate any and all grass and sifted or loose soil. The ground should feel hard when you walk on it. If there is any movement under your feet, it is not done yet.
The first step in installing concrete pavers is to excavate the grass and loose soil. You want to set the driveway over solid ground. Compacted sand and a base for the pavers is often placed over the surface to create a solid foundation. When installed properly, these can last a lifetime and still look and feel like new.
Contacting a professional is often the best solution for many homeowners, as this is not a very easy "do it yourself" type of job. I live in North Jersey and one of the best examples of good workmanship I have seen was with this company. If you are not in my area, make sure that you get estimates and ask for job sites to view before "booking the service".
