Browse Forums Paving & Concreting Re: Paving vs concrete. Which one is better? 2Jun 26, 2010 10:28 am Paving is partially porous but it can also destabilise if not laid well. Loose pavers can be common with buckling. I still like the look of pavers though, so you can get them laid on a bed of concrete, which defeats the porous nature.

And 200 meters that looked exactly the same as the day it was laid. It looked way better that plain or textured or concrete but was awful on road base. Next time, well this time we are conceting every thing and then tiling the lot. /end rant Hope this helps brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7575 That's a bit of a vague question.
