Pavers are the Best Choice For Your Hardscape, Here's Why:
Pavers Are Actually MORE Durable Than Concrete!
There’s a common misconception that concrete is more durable than pavers, but that’s simply not true. While concrete may seem solid, it’s prone to cracking over time due to ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy loads. Pavers, on the other hand, are designed to flex and adapt to these changes without cracking. When installed with a proper base of compacted gravel and sand, pavers create an interlocking system that distributes weight evenly, making them just as strong—if not stronger—than concrete. Additionally, if a paver does get damaged, it can be easily replaced without affecting the surrounding area, whereas cracked concrete often requires costly and disruptive repairs. With the right installation and maintenance, pavers offer unmatched durability, longevity, and resilience, making them a superior choice for driveways, walkways, and patios. At David’s Landscaping, we ensure every paver project is done right, so you can enjoy a beautiful and durable hardscape for years to come.
Options Are Limitless With Pavers! Concrete, Not So Much...
When it comes to design versatility, pavers far outshine concrete. Pavers come in a vast array of colors, textures, shapes, and patterns, allowing you to create a truly customized look for your driveway, walkway, or patio. Whether you prefer a classic brick style, a modern geometric design, or a natural stone appearance, the options are nearly endless. Concrete, on the other hand, offers limited choices—typically just a flat, uniform surface with minimal color variations. But do the benefits of pavers go beyond aesthetics? If a crack or stain occurs, individual pavers can be easily removed and replaced, leaving your surface looking as good as new. With concrete, cracks or damage often mean unsightly patches or the need to replace entire sections, which can be costly and time-consuming. Pavers not only give you more design freedom but also provide a practical, long-lasting solution that’s easy to maintain. At David’s Landscaping, we’ll help you choose the perfect pavers to match your style and ensure they’re installed to last.
Pavers Are More Affordable!
Pavers are often easier and quicker to install compared to concrete, which can reduce labor costs. Concrete requires precise pouring, curing time, and meticulous finishing, whereas pavers are laid individually on a prepared base, allowing for a more efficient installation process. Additionally, pavers don’t require the same level of heavy equipment or specialized tools, which can further lower the overall cost of your project. Concrete is also prone to cracking due to ground movement, weather changes, and heavy loads. When concrete cracks, repairing it can be expensive and disruptive. Often, the entire slab needs to be replaced, which not only costs more but also creates a mismatched appearance. Pavers, on the other hand, are designed to handle shifting ground and heavy use without cracking. If a paver does get damaged, it can be easily removed and replaced without affecting the surrounding area. This means you’ll spend significantly less on repairs over the years compared to concrete.
Pavers Have Better Drainage!
One of the standout advantages of pavers over concrete is their superior drainage capabilities. Pavers are laid with small gaps between them, allowing water to naturally seep through and drain away, reducing the risk of pooling or flooding. This is especially beneficial in areas with heavy rainfall or poor soil drainage. Even better, if you encounter additional drainage issues down the line, pavers make it easy to address the problem. Drainage systems, such as channel drains or French drains, can be added or modified later without major disruption to your hardscape. With concrete, drainage systems must be installed during the initial pour, and any future adjustments often require breaking up and replacing large sections, which is costly and time-consuming. Pavers offer a flexible, long-term solution that adapts to your needs, ensuring your outdoor space stays functional and beautiful for years to come. At David’s Landscaping, we design paver installations with both current and future drainage needs in mind, giving you peace of mind and a hassle-free experience.
Our 4-Step Hardscape Process
-
1
Consultation & Design
It all starts with you! We’ll schedule a free consultation to discuss your ideas, preferences, and budget. Our team will assess your outdoor space, take measurements, and work with you to create a custom design that fits your style and needs.

Excavation
Once we have agreed on a design that you like, we will start preparing for excavation. Before we can break ground in Connecticut, the design area must be marked, and the utility companies notified, which we as the contractor will take care of. A strong foundation is key to a long-lasting patio. Our team will carefully prepare the site by excavating the area and installing a solid base of compacted gravel and sand. This ensures proper drainage and prevents shifting or settling over time. We pay close attention to every detail during this phase to guarantee a level, durable surface that will stand up to the elements and heavy use.

Paver Installation
This is where the magic happens! Using high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship, we’ll lay your chosen pavers in the pattern and design you’ve selected. Our experienced installers take pride in their work, ensuring every paver is perfectly aligned and securely set. We’ll also add edge restraints to keep everything in place and apply joint sand to lock the pavers together, creating a smooth, stable surface.
