5 Reasons to Choose Concrete Pavers for Your Home Project5 Reasons to Choose Concrete Pavers for Your Home Project

Attractiveness – Many homeowners consider pavers much more attractive than asphalt and poured concrete. Concrete pavers come in a vast array of colors, shapes, sizes and textures. Concrete paver colors include beige, coral, variegated or darker blends, as well as blends with flashed tones to harmonize with a home’s exterior cladding. They can easily be put into patterns that complement homes' architectural styles because of the wide variety of styles available. 

Durability – Concrete pavers should maintain their beauty and strength for several years when installed properly. Other pavements, such as asphalt or poured concrete, typically experience shorter lives. 

Maintenance – Concrete pavers are easier to maintain and last longer without needing to be repaired or replaced. In fact, factory-made pavers last for decades and need practically no maintenance when installed to ICPI guidelines. If a concrete paver becomes stained or broken, it can be easily replaced individually without patches. Additionally, pavers work well in freeze-thaw environments since they are easy to plow and snow melts faster to reduce ice hazards. 

Cost – Concrete pavers cost substantially less than natural stone and provide an equally attractive appearance. When factoring in maintenance costs and project durability, concrete pavers are also extremely affordable compared to other outdoor surface choices, such as poured concrete. 

Safety – Concrete pavers provide a safe, slip-resistant surface for pedestrian, vehicular and pool projects.
