My old patio job shows the real difference 8 years can make
I went back to a house in Columbus last month to quote a new walkway, and the patio I laid back in 2017 still looked almost brand new. Same brick, same sand, and the homeowner said they never even resealed it once. Meanwhile, a job I did in 2021 with cheaper pavers from a big box store is already sinking in two spots and needs a full relay. The cost gap was about $400 more back then, but it clearly paid off. Has anyone else seen this kind of split between material grades on their older work?
