Driveways

At Belden Pavers & Stones, we not only focus on the aesthetic appeal of your driveway but also its long-term functionality and sustainability. An integral part of this approach is the installation of effective drainage systems. Here’s why a well-designed drainage system is essential for your driveway:

1. Prevents Water Accumulation:
   Standing water in driveways  is one of the main enemies of any paved surface. Without proper drainage, water can pool on the driveway, leading to various issues. A drainage system ensures that water does not accumulate on the surface, thereby preventing potential damage.
2. Reduces Soil Erosion:
   Water runoff, if not properly managed, can lead to soil erosion around the driveway area. This can weaken the driveway’s foundation, leading to cracks, settling, and other structural problems. A drainage system helps manage runoff, protecting the soil and foundation.
3. Increases Durability:
   Driveways with an efficient drainage system tend to have a longer lifespan. By preventing water from settling and freezing, the driveway is less likely to suffer from freeze-thaw cycles which can cause cracking and heaving.
4. Enhances Safety:
   Pooled water can be a safety hazard, leading to slippery conditions and potential accidents. A driveway with proper drainage remains drier and safer for both pedestrians and vehicles.
5. Prevents Mold and Algae Growth:
   Standing water can create ideal conditions for mold and algae growth, which can be unsightly and potentially damaging to the pavers. A drainage system helps keep the driveway dry and free from such growths.
6. Environmentally Friendly:
   Good drainage systems, especially those using permeable materials, can be environmentally beneficial. They allow water to seep into the ground, replenishing groundwater and reducing runoff into storm drains.
7. Maintains Aesthetic Appeal:
   A driveway that remains dry and intact without cracks, algae, or water stains is more visually appealing. The longevity of its appearance is just as important as its structural integrity.
