Weeds. They sure are pesty aren't they. If you are considering paving a portion of your yard, you may be doing so with the sole intention of winning the battle against weeds. If so, stamped concrete could be a great choice. Weeds should not grow though stamped concrete. Even if the concrete has cracks as a design element, weeds should not grow through them. The cracks are only an imprinted design, they are not real cracks. However, weeds may grow through pavers. If weeds are a problem at your house, this may be the deciding factor between stamped concrete and pavers. While you may be able to eliminate weeds by spraying toxic chemicals, this should be avoided if possible. Stamped concrete offers a safe way to keep the weeds away while providing an aesthetically pleasing design touch.
