Paver patios are built to last, looking fantastic for generations, and if it ever becomes stained or marred by paint or oil it can be repaired quickly, easily, and invisibly. Individual stones an be replaced with matching ones so that the surface looks exactly as it did before the accident occurred. This is impossible with any other type of pavement. Interlocking paving stones also don't heat up as much as a concrete patio - a big plus on a hot summer day!
