Are Pavestone pavers strong enough to drive a car on?
Yes, our pavers exceed the industry standards for strength and low moisture absorption. The industry standard for concrete pavers is a minimum of 8,000 psi. and typically the Pavestone pavers test between 10,000 to 11,000 psi. That is approximately 3 times stronger than poured concrete. Also our absorption rate is in the 2% to 3% range and the industry requires 5% or less. Compared to regular poured concrete that has an absorption rate of about 17%, concrete pavers will not absorb much moisture or be damaged by freeze thaw cycles.
