Interlocking pavers are individual units made from concrete, stone, or brick that fit together in a specific pattern. When installed properly, they create a strong, durable surface ideal for patios, driveways, walkways, and more.
Pavers are not only more visually appealing, but they’re also flexible and durable. Unlike concrete or asphalt, pavers are less likely to crack over time and can be replaced individually if damaged. Plus, they offer a wide range of styles and colors to match your home.
When installed professionally and maintained properly, interlocking pavers can last 25–40 years or more. They’re built to withstand the elements and daily wear while maintaining their structure and appearance.
Pavers are low-maintenance. Occasional sweeping and rinsing will keep them clean, and resealing every few years can help preserve their color and finish. If a paver becomes stained or damaged, it can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the surface.
Absolutely. When properly installed with the right base and compaction, interlocking pavers are strong enough to support cars, trucks, and even commercial vehicles.

In some cases, yes. However, for the best durability and longevity, we typically recommend removing old concrete and building a proper base. We’ll assess your site and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.
Not if installed properly. We design every project with appropriate grading and drainage in mind. In fact, interlocking pavers often offer better drainage than concrete, as water can seep between joints, reducing pooling and runoff.
Key factors include the size of the area, type of pavers chosen, accessibility of the site, excavation or demolition needs, drainage requirements, and custom design elements. We’ll walk you through all pricing details so there are no surprises.
With proper installation and the use of polymeric sand between joints, weed growth is minimal. However, some maintenance may still be needed over time to keep the joints clean and tight.
