What Makes Interlocking Pavers Different From A Concrete Slab?
While all concrete contains the same basic ingredients, interlocking pavers have a few unique qualities that help make them so versatile.
• Joint spacers help lock in and disperse weight across adjacent pavers instead of directly down.
• There are several separate units to allow flexibility with freeze/thaw without breaking under the stress.
• Pavers are pressure tested to withstand much higher amounts of weight than a concrete pour.
When you invest in interlocking pavers, you're making a long term investment!

A Brief History of Pavers
A Brief History of Pavers
A concrete interlocking paver is one type of paver. This special type of paver, also known as a segmental paver, has emerged over the last few decades as a very popular alternative to brick, clay or concrete slabs.
Segmental pavers have been used for thousands of years. The Romans built roads with them that are still there, but it was not until the mid-1940s that pavers began to be produced out of concrete. It started in the Netherlands where all the roads are made to be flexible because the country is below sea level and the ground shifts, moves and sinks. Poured concrete is not an option because it will crack. Individual units placed in sand perform far better than concrete. Before the paver was made from concrete, either natural stone or a clay product was used. The first concrete pavers were shaped just like a brick, 4” by 8” and they were called Holland Stones and still are today. These units turned out to be economical to produce and were exceedingly strong.
