Top 4 Advantages of Interlocking Concrete Pavers

When it comes to refurbishing a sidewalk, driveway or patio, you’ve got options. You can pour concrete, lay asphalt or drop down some crushed gravel. Or, you can reap the benefits of interlocking concrete pavers:

Durability
Concrete and asphalt cracks easily. Interlocking concrete pavers don’t. In fact, they can withstand nearly four times the weight of a standard concrete slab or asphalt. That’s important and impressive, especially if you have large trucks and toys such as boats and bikes that you pull on a trailer. Interlocking concrete pavers also require a lot less maintenance than gravel, which can wear away over the years and require fill to be brought in.

Flexibility
Plans change, and sometimes you need more room for buildings—or you want to expand your parking space. Sometimes you need less parking space and more room for another shed or garage or flower garden. If you’ve ever had to move concrete, asphalt or gravel, you know how much time and energy it takes. Pavers are easy to move. Need to pull up the pavers? No problem. It’s a lot easier than the other options.

Repair
If an interlocking paver cracks or gets damaged in some way, all you have to do is pull it up and replace it with another one. The same can’t be said for concrete or asphalt, which can require extensive equipment and financial resources to repair. Individual concrete pavers are relatively inexpensive, so replacing them won’t break the bank.

Aesthetics
There is something classic and regal about interlocking concrete pavers. They can be the center piece of a nicely manicured and landscaped lawn. They also come in a variety of colors, styles and designs, which can give you the flexibility you need to make your home the comfortable, welcoming looking place you want it to be.
