Aesthetics & Repairs
Pavers provide a premium, modular look and enable easy spot repairs. Concrete delivers clean, continuous slabs that can be colored or stamped.
Pavers vs Concrete: Style, Maintenance, and Cost
Pavers and concrete both offer strong curb appeal. This guide compares look, upkeep, and long-term value so you can choose with confidence.
Cold Climates (Freeze–Thaw)
- Favor flexible materials (asphalt, pavers) or sealed concrete with proper air entrainment.
- Use calcium chloride instead of rock salt on concrete and pavers.
- Seal cracks early and keep joints filled to limit water intrusion.

Maintenance
Pavers: maintain polymeric sand and sealing intervals. Concrete: periodic sealing and prompt crack control protect against staining and moisture.
Costs & Longevity
Pavers often cost more upfront but can last 25–50 years with modular fixes. Concrete’s upfront cost is lower than pavers but higher than asphalt, with 20–30 years typical lifespan.
