Frequently Asked Questions
Which lasts longer, a concrete patio or pavers?+
Both can last a long time when installed properly. Concrete may crack; individual pavers can shift. Base preparation matters for both.
Which is easier to repair?+
Individual pavers can be lifted and reset. Concrete repairs are usually more visible but often lower cost when scoped correctly.
