PAVERS VS. CONCRETE COATINGS

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... perhaps these pictures are worth thousands, thousands of dollars wasted. Concrete coatings, whether they're paint, acrylic, stamped concrete, sprayed on texture etc.... they're all based on a solid concrete surface.  Bottom line is concrete cracks.  While concrete coatings can prove to be economical in the beginning, they can be costly later on.  Costly because they need to be replaced, repaired or covered.  A cracked paver, although rare, can easily be lifted and replaced.
