Trees all have root systems that are invasive to a degree: some are worse than others. notoriously bad are cherry and willow - both have roots taht are quite close to surface and that increase in girth causing heave. Choose small varieties that have smaller systems, avoid cherry, willow, poplar, alder and other high-water take-up trees, choose drought-tolerant varieties. Another option is to lay your paving to accommodate tree roots - use a root barrier, or use a base layer of Amsterdam soil or other granualar material that will be less affected by roots. If the paving is impervious, roots will not favour growing below them anyway, unless is it a narrow area that roots can grow underneath to reach a favourable rooting area the other side.

Paving the Way with Brick Pavers?

Gardening has reached new highs in the U.S. More time and money is being spent on our gardens than ever before. There are magazines, books and shows devoted to making a garden the perfect “outdoor room”. There are many things to consider using when creating outdoor space. This includes flowering plants, ornamental trees, miniature fruit trees, birdbaths, garden decorations and comfortable furniture. But, what about the ground? Shall it be grass? Dirt? Rocks? Concrete? Why not consider using brick pavers. There are advantages to using brick pavers including a firm floor, neat in appearance (unlike dirt which can turn to mud upon rain), it does not attract insects or other critters, a ground laid with pavers is smooth, solid and level, therefore, it is easy to set up, and use, furniture. Brick pavers come in many styles, colors, sizes, shapes and textures. There are pavers that are polished and smooth, ones that look like they have been around for centuries, pavers in bright bold reds, soft reds and shades in between, pavers that look European, ones that look tropical, shades of heathers, grays and blues and many more. The benefit of all these choices is that there are brick pavers out there to suit just about anyone. Whether a home has cottage charm, European chic, Mediterranean allure or old-fashioned appeal there are brick pavers to match. Consider patterns when laying brick pavers. Pavers can be laid in a row, in curvy patterns, with pavers alternating positions or with different colors of pavers placed in every now and then. Pavers can be laid inside a frame of wood, a frame of rocks or no frame at all. Frameless pavers will eventually spread but sometimes that adds to the appeal. One of these times is when moss is used in between the pavers. The moss will fill up the gaps and continue to do so as the pavers spread. Other forms of ground cover look attractive between pavers also. Brick pavers can make a lovely, patio, can form a charming walkway, can add sophistication framing a driveway and can border flower beds. Brick pavers can enhance a home wherever they are placed.
