Appearance
Wide range of finishes, colors, shapes and sizes.  Laying patterns can compliment any home’s architecture due to a wide variety of styles available.
Initial Cost & Installation
Moderate – Tightly fitted, uniform units are placed over a sand bed and a compacted aggregate base.  Immediately ready for use.  Can be installed by a homeowner or an ICPI Certified Installer.
Maintenance
Low – Stained or broken pavers can be easily replaced without patches.  Dark colored pavers can help hide stains.  Factory-made pavers last for decades.
Winter Durability
High – Small, high density units resist cracking as well as damage from freeze-thaw cycles and salts.  Pavers are stronger than ordinary or stamped concrete.
Snow Removal
Smooth surfaces allow for easy snow removal.  Darker pavers help snow melt faster.  Snow-melt systems can be easily integrated to eliminate snow and ice removal.
