Concrete is a durable and versatile building material frequently used to pave sidewalks, walkways, and driveways. In these situations, the flat slabs are known as concrete pavers and are used specifically to create flooring or walkways. When DIY-savvy homeowners or contractors throughout Connecticut are looking for special ready-mix concrete, Builders Concrete East is their go-to source. To help new customers choose the right option, here’s a rundown of paver options from the trusted professionals. 

Top 3 Concrete Pavers to Choose From

Interlocking Concrete

ConcreteWhile all concrete pavers include a combination of materials such as sand, gravel, and water, the durability and appearance can be significantly different. Interlocking concrete is extremely durable and frequently used on driveways and areas that must bear heavy weight. With edge spacers, this concrete paver helps create a uniform look. 

Architectural Slab

Architectural slab, on the other hand, does not have edge spacers and can be designed to resemble bricks and other stones. It’s a bit thinner, and in turn, not as sturdy as interlocking concrete. This option is best for areas with minimal foot traffic or where you’d like to create space for plants or grass to grow. 

Decorative Concrete

Decorative concrete, also known as stamped concrete, can be colored and textured to resemble other materials. This option is also very popular when you’re looking to add some additional flair to your walkways. With a variety of designs and patterns available, you’ll have the opportunity to put a unique spin on your indoor or outdoor spaces. That being said, you’ll want to avoid using this option on sidewalks that aren’t protected from inclement weather, as the acid from the material can soak into the surrounding landscape.
