Pavers

From walkways to patios, pavers are a beautiful way to create curb appeal and give your outdoor space a welcoming feel. Pavers come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing you to customize your patio or walkway to match the aesthetic of your home and natural landscape. When deciding to do a patio or walkway, many people consider the pro’s and cons on pavers vs. concrete.  While there is no right choice, we can certainly help you make the best choice for your specific needs.

Visual Appearance 

Pavers are generally more visually appealing than concrete. With a variety of colors, sizes, and patterns, pavers can be customized to enhance your area.

Durability

Pavers are up to 4 times as strong as a concrete slab, which means they can handle far more weight than a concrete slab before they crack. Pavers are more flexible as well, so they are able to handle drastic weather changes and ground shifting, unlike concrete.

Repairs

When concrete cracks, it’s difficult to repair the crack and often ends up needing a full replacement. With pavers, you can simply replace individual pavers instead of replacing the entire area.  Additionally, if you have underground repairs that need to be completed, such as sprinkler lines, you can easily pull out pavers and then replace them once the repairs are completed, unlike concrete, where you would likely need to repour the entire area.

Resale Value

Pavers increase resale value because of their beauty, versatility, and longevity.

Concrete

From concrete slabs to stamped concrete, InspireScapes has you covered. Concrete is a cost-effective solution for patios, walkways, and more. Brushed gray concrete is the most common application, which is perfect for driveways and walkways.

Looking for something more visually appealing? Stamped and stained concrete can give the look of pavers, at a fraction of the cost of pavers.

Concrete stamps come in a variety of styles and sizes to fit your specific needs. Looking for a flagstone-type look? The American Flagstone stamp gives the look of flagstone pavers. Ashlar patterns give a more symmetrical look, and running brick patterns are designed to look like brick pavers. No matter your specific taste, there is a concrete stamp to give you the look you desire!
