Concrete will stain and breaks down with exposure to road salt. If a paver is damaged or broken, it can be replaced without sacrificing the entire driveway. Multiple colors may be combined to give the appearance of stone.
Colors fade and wear over time.
The concrete is typically stained or pigmented as well. If not done right, the result looks hokey.
