What is the difference between pavers and concrete?

• Design Options: Pavers offer creative patterns due to individual bricks, while concrete has diverse designs through techniques like stencilling, stamping, and colouring. 
• Strength & Longevity: Pavers can be up to four times stronger than concrete and are less likely to crack with ground movement. Concrete, while strong, can crack and stain over time. 
• Safety & Maintenance: Pavers have better drainage, and can be individually replaced if damaged. Concrete is initially cheaper but can be slippery and requires more effort if access beneath is needed or if major repairs are required. 
• Cost: Concrete is generally cheaper per metre but decorative options like stamped concrete may bring costs comparable to pavers.
