Concrete Vs. Pavers

Pavers come in a variety of colors and styles. Moreover, they are durable and can withstand cracking due to freeze thaw and settling than poured concrete slabs. Each paver is its own miniature slab and this is why they do no crack like concrete slabs. Larger concrete slabs are usually brittle because they are longer and wider than they are thick. On the flipside, pavers are small, individual bricks whose lengths and widths are about the size of their thickness. This makes them dense and hence able to withstand heavier loads than concrete slabs. Paver interlock and hence can flex during periods of freeze thaw.
