Whether you’re repaving your walkway, driveway, patio, or pool deck, interlocking pavers will help you achieve your desired look. Offering tremendous flexibility, variety, and strength, they’re an excellent alternative to any application you’d typically designate to bricks, concrete, or asphalt. To help you understand why they are a superior choice, Hicon Inc. in Cincinnati, OH, shares three benefits of using interlocking pavers.

3 Reasons to Choose Interlocking Pavers Over Other Materials

1. Improved Durability

Unlike other paving materials like concrete, asphalt, and brick that are more sensitive to external factors and environmental conditions, interlocking pavers offer improved durability that can withstand elements others cannot. Concrete is prone to shrinking, asphalt can soften when exposed to high temperatures, and brick can easily chip. Gravel is another poor choice, as it isn’t a permanent material. Interlocking pavers, on the other hand, are commonly made from concrete and are permanent while still remaining flexible, meaning they remain strong despite external factors.

2. Lower Maintenance

In addition to offering greater durability, interlocking pavers are a low-maintenance option. Easy-to-clean and displaying minimal signs of wear, interlocking pavers will not form the stains typical of concrete, asphalt, and brick. They will also remain firmly in place, as opposed to gravel, which will constantly need to be refilled. In addition, they are also easy to install, as they connect together with sand as opposed to mortar which tends to be messier. Repairs are also a breeze as well, as you can remove and replace single, damaged stones without disrupting the integrity of your walkway, driveway, or patio as a whole.

3. Design Variety

Another benefit of interlocking pavers is the incredible design variety they offer. From virtually endless color combinations and multiple finishes to many different pattern options, these pavers allow a homeowner to fully customize their look. Concrete, asphalt, brick, and gravel aren’t as customizable, offering minimal color and size selection.
