How ideal are Pavers to make an ideal pavement?
Proper installation of the pavers results in a pavement that is rigid and flexible. The joints between pavers allow the walkway, driveway, and patio to move without cracking. They can be unzipped to allow for repairs or access to utilities. Unlike asphalt, pavers are virtually maintenance-free and do not need to be regularly sealed or replaced. Concrete pavers have a minimum compressive strength of 8,000 psi (about 3 times stronger than regular poured concrete) and a maximum water absorption rate of 5%.
