What is the difference between pavers and concrete?

When it comes to installing a patio, walkway, or driveway, there are some key differences between installing pavers and installing concrete. Pavers are a more costly than concrete slabs initially in which pavers cost more per square foot (Pavers cost usually 10 to 15% more per square foot.) However, in the long run concrete is more prone to wear & tear which may mean more expenses for repair and maintenance.

​

In terms of appearance, pavers come in a vast array of shapes, textures, patterns, and colors, making them generally more visually appealing than concrete slabs. However, concrete also offers lots of flexibility in installation and also customization with different techniques used.

 

As for durability, pavers are made to a minimum compressive strength of 8,000 PSI, while poured concrete is made to a compressive strength of 2,500–3,000 PSI. In simple terms, pavers are more than twice as dense as concrete. Pavers are broadly more durable than concrete.

​

In summary, pavers are generally more visually appealing and durable than concrete, but they come at a higher initial cost. Concrete is more cost-effective, but it offers fewer design options and is less durable than pavers.
