How do paving stones compare in performance to stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete is merely concrete slabs with a pattern stamped into the surface. They are susceptible to the same problems of a concrete slab sidewalk or patio. Cracking due to freeze/thaw cycles may happen with a stamped concrete patio. Paving stones can be dismantled and repaired with the same product being used on the surface. How do you repair a utility, such as a pool filter, that may break under a concrete slab? You would need to cut out and remove the concrete and repair it, and pour new concrete and stamp it. It will never match.
