Home Renovations Top 10 Design Ideas on Interlocking Paver Walkways | Page 9

Safety: Considering that so many people will be using the walkway, it has to be safe. For one, the intersections need to
be smoothened by the sealant so as not to pose a danger to the walkway users. In addition, the materials should not be
slippery so as no one can get injured.
Lighting: If you are planning the walkway late in the evening or at night, you may find the need to lighten it. This is
more important when fitting the pavers at home. In this case, you don’t have to be afraid of walking on the path at
night.
Maintenance: Are you planning to plant some grass close to your walkway? If this is the case, you need pavers that
you can clean easily. Furthermore, the paver design should allow easy replacement when some pieces are worn out.
Drainage: To protect your walkway from the fast accumulation of mud, you need options that allow easy drainage. This
is something that you have to factor in when planning the installation. In this case, go for pavers that are non-porous so
as to ensure that water drains off cheaply.
