Segmental pavements also known as hardscapes, brick, stone or concrete unit pavers offer appeal and worth that other pavements cannot match. It is difficult for any concrete or asphalt to compete with the look and feel of brick, stone or concrete unit pavers. It is impossible for any stamped concrete to match the inherent beauty of natural stone or brick. The good news is, when properly installed by Creative Hardscape Company, Inc. a certified ICPI installer. This beauty will last far longer than any poured-in-place surface like asphalt or concrete.

By its nature, a segmental hardscape system is the best solution to frequent freeze-thaw cycling and bentonite clays. A common misconception is that segmental pavements are ill-suited for this sort of climate or geology when in fact it is agreed by knowledgeable engineers and architects to be the very best but only when the sub-grade, base materials, unit pavers and edge restraints are installed properly by certified ICPI installers. The fact remains that installation requires exceptional knowledge, schooling and training in these specific areas. Creative Hardscape Company's biggest frustration is when we have to come out and repair our competitors obvious lack of training or certification in the installation of unit pavements at an additional cost to the consumer.
Unit pavers are the most durable hard pavement surfaces in the world. For example, a concrete paver has two to five times the pounds-per-square-inch (PSI) compressive strength (depending on the manufacture's product line) than poured-in-place surfaces like asphalt or concrete. This allows for pavers to continually handle the weight and abuse of a semi-tractor trailer, commercial jet or a plow to clear snow without any difficulty or damage.
The resale return of a segmental pavement system is one of the highest in the real estate industry. Additionally, unit pavers offer that certain curb appeal that immediately attracts any potential home buyers.
Interlocking brick, stone and concrete unit pavers are durable and maintenance free.
Segmental pavements are quickly set allowing for immediate pedestrian and vehicular access which is important to streetscaping or similar sidewalk and plaza developments. Immediate access dictates no need for concrete to cure or asphalt to harden.
With any need such as underground utility work, unit pavers are removed and reset instantly. Unsightly spot patches as seen with asphalt or concrete are avoided allowing for a quick, aesthetic and uniform pavement presence, with no added material loses.

Many architects, landscape architects turn to segmental hardscapes to deliver that unique sense of place.
