The Benefits of Concrete Pavers

Pavers can handle any weight without cracking. Even if they do succumb to damage or cracks, it will take years before that happens, and they are relatively easy to replace with no complications.

Concrete pavers come in different shapes and sizes, so you can choose from a wide array of styles that would best fit in the overall design of your home’s exterior. There are concrete pavers that look like natural stones, while others are clay brick pavers. If you’re planning to add concrete pavers around your pool area, you can use light coloured pavers. On the other hand, if you want to add a garden path towards your backyard, you can use earthy, stone-like concrete pavers.

The life expectancy of most concrete pavers is more or less 30 years. Clay pavers, for example, need only to be lifted and replaced without having to change the entire driveway or pathway. 

The only ‘major maintenance’ pavers need are regular rinsing with a garden hose and daily sweeping. Sometimes persistent weeds grow in between cracks, but they’re relatively easy to pull them out from the roots. Otherwise, concrete pavers require little maintenance.

Concrete pavers usually have a rough surface and are slip-resistant. They won’t easily crack in a minor earthquake and under intense summer heat or cold, compared to poured concrete.
