There are actually a number of different types of brick. Some are more durable and best used as pedestrian sidewalks, while other more of aesthetic in purpose. That’s before you get to color and size differences. Brick sidewalks and driveways come in a variety of designs but it all comes down to the ingenuity and creativity of the paver.
Weather is another factor to consider when selecting what type of brick to use for your sidewalk. In Brooklyn, bricks rated for severe weather should be used for sidewalk and driveways. Not only these types of sidewalks will stand up to cold and snowy NYC winters, but they will also take a lot of foot traffic without cracking.
We all love trees but very few take under consideration the fact that if sidewalk installation was not properly done, then tree root will push the bricks up in a couple of year. The tree root systems are strong and with time, your sidewalk will be damaged. Only experienced sidewalk repair and driveway installation company knows what proper measurements to apply when installing sidewalk. Based on the tree type, certain distance must be kept away from all sidewalks.
Another threat to Brooklyn sidewalks is the water. If water is not properly configured to drain, then puddles will accumulate around brick sidewalks and will eventually push bricks up. Tree damage sidewalks and water damage sidewalks are very common in Brooklyn. Some are due to old city infrastructure, while others due to hiring sidewalk and driveway installation contractors who are not specialized in sidewalk and driveway repairs.
