Concrete vs. Pavers: Which is Right for Your Driveway?

Your driveway does more than get you from the street to your garage — it’s the first impression of your home. When it comes to choosing the best material, two of the most popular options are concrete and pavers. But which one is better for your home, lifestyle, and budget?

At H&H Construction Group Inc., we’ve spent over 15 years helping homeowners across North Richland Hills, Keller, Hurst, Bedford, Watauga, Colleyville, Haltom City, and Southlake choose driveway solutions that are built to last and look great doing it. Here’s how concrete and pavers stack up.


🔨 Concrete Driveways: Strong, Seamless, and Cost-Effective

Concrete is a tried-and-true driveway material that offers durability, low maintenance, and a clean, uniform appearance.

✅ Benefits of Concrete:

  • Affordable Installation – Typically less expensive upfront than pavers.
  • Long-Lasting – When properly poured and sealed, concrete can last 25–30 years.
  • Low Maintenance – Occasional power washing and resealing is all it takes.
  • Smooth Finish – Ideal for modern homes and clean design lines.
  • Custom Options – Can be stamped, stained, or textured for a decorative finish.

⚠️ Considerations:

  • Can crack over time due to ground movement or freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Repairs often require patching or replacing large sections.
  • Limited design flexibility compared to pavers.

🧱 Paver Driveways: Elegant, Flexible, and Repair-Friendly

Pavers are individual units made of concrete, brick, or stone that fit together to create beautiful, patterned driveways.

✅ Benefits of Pavers:

  • High-End Aesthetic – Offers a wide range of colors, shapes, and layouts.
  • Easy Repairs – Damaged pavers can be individually replaced.
  • Strong Load Capacity – Excellent for heavy vehicles and foot traffic.
  • Slip-Resistant – Textured surfaces improve safety.
  • Weather-Resistant – Flexible surface adapts to soil movement and resists cracking.

⚠️ Considerations:

  • Higher upfront cost for materials and labor.
  • May require occasional weed control between joints.
  • Proper installation is critical for durability (which we ensure!).

💡 So… Which Is Better?

It depends on your budget, aesthetic goals, and long-term plans.

  • Choose concrete if you want a cost-effective, durable driveway with minimal upkeep and a clean look.
  • Choose pavers if you’re after a custom, elegant appearance with repair flexibility and added curb appeal.
