While concrete slabs and paving stones both have their pros and cons, paving stones are significantly more durable.
The longevity of concrete slabs is affected by the movement of the earth, and slabs are prone to splitting and cracking if the ground beneath shifts. On the other hand, paving stones are four times as strong as a typical concrete slab, and can therefore handle more weight on their surface before they would crack.
Additionally, paving stones are also slip-resistant, easy and affordable to repair, and an instant boost to the property value of a home.
