Pavers Guide

Interlocking concrete and clay pavers make flexible, durable surfaces. Here is how they look and perform.

Pavers are individual units, usually concrete, clay or cut stone, that fit together over a compacted base. They come in many shapes, colors and textures, and because they are flexible, they handle freeze and thaw better than some rigid surfaces.

Concrete pavers are the most common and offer the widest range. Clay pavers hold color well and feel traditional. Natural stone pavers are the most upscale. All of them depend on a deep, well-compacted base and tight edge restraint for long life.
