Q. What makes paving stones so strong and resilient?

A. Pavers are made of high-density concrete making them twice as strong and less absorbent than poured concrete. Surface stains are thereby minimized on patios and driveways. Damage from snow plows and de-icing salts are eliminated. Interlocking pavers form a mortarless, flexible engineered surface that won’t crack or heave as a result of ground movement.
