5 Reasons to Select Paving Stones Over Concrete

The walkway or drive that leads to your home should be both a personal statement and a reflection of your good taste. What’s more, the materials should stand up to the weather, look great for years at a time and not be a burden with costly, involved maintenance.

Concrete was the favored material for years because it met some of these criteria. But today paving stones are the clear choice. Here are five reasons why:

1. Stains and other imperfections can be easily hidden with pavers

If you splash a little oil on a concrete drive, the stain usually becomes an ugly, permanent blemish. Not so with pavers. These can be quickly flipped or replaced so you always have a surface that looks pristine.

2. Pavers come in a wide range of attractive colors and designs

Mixing and matching all the possible different combinations will give you a unique drive or patio every time. The different ways you can put paving stones together are limited only by your imagination.

3. A paver walkway is ready to go from the time it's installed

Unlike concrete, which can take three to five days before it’s ready for traffic, there’s no curing period with pavers — and no waiting.
