Advice
How to Choose Between Paving and Concrete
Pros and cons of paving and concrete for patios, paths and outdoor areas.
Appearance and choice
Paving offers a wide range of sizes, colours and textures. Concrete can be coloured, exposed or stencilled, but has a more continuous look.
Repairs and access
Individual pavers can be lifted and relaid to access services or fix settlement. Concrete repairs are usually more visible.
Cracking and movement
Concrete slabs can crack with soil movement; control joints help manage this. Paving's joints allow some movement without visible cracks.
Which is right for you?
Consider budget, look, the size of the area and future plans. Landforge specialises in paving and can advise if your project suits it.
