alt Hacker NewsI’ve never understood why people so frequently choose poured concrete over cheap interlocking pavers. Where I live, it’s extremely common to see someone pour a concrete driveway then promptly cut it up because they forgot something.

They sink when a car repeatedly drives over them. I watched a neighbor redo their yellow brick driveway. Well. Only briefly…
Ruts were visible pretty quickly again

It’s about half the price. Paver driveways cost twice as much to install due to the increased labor. It’s not that expensive to sawcut concrete.
In contrast I've never seen someone have to cut up a driveway.
There are many ways concrete is superior to pavers. One of the most important is that it is miserable and almost impossible to properly clear snow and ice from pavers.
