For thousands of years, clay brick has been the standard building material for everything from roads, pathways, and courtyards. Today there is nothing more visually appealing than a patio, walkway, or driveway paved with brick. While concrete pavers are more durable and harder than clay, standard brick can still stand up to a normal amount of driveway usage if it is maintained regularly and was laid over a solid base. Brick is thought of by most to be the most elegant of all of the different paving surfaces and is the one that will always add value to your property.

You might be wondering what is a brick made out of and how does it work for construction. Well, brick pavers are made out of clay that is cast in forms, and then it is heat cured. The shapes, unfortunately, do not vary; they are made in the shape of a rectangle for ease of use. Cobblestone, which is another option, is a natural stone that is cut into the shapes a paver would need. Concrete is similar to brick but is made of cement. 

The difference in clay brick versus paver brick is that paver bricks are solid with no gaps or holes that have a smooth surface. Generally, paver bricks are rectangular and clay-colored but there are other options. You can design your bricks to make your patio, walkway, or driveway look like one that has been around for decades or you can make it look modern to fit with the times. Another benefit to brick pavers is that if you do want to replace them one day, there is a good market for recycled brick pavers. 

Why do brick pavers bring value to your home? The reasoning is because they make for a beautiful classic paving surface that can work with pretty much all styles of homes. Think of the alternatives, concrete limits you greatly in terms of design options. Brick lets your mind run wild when you think of your perfect design. There is a disadvantage to brick pavers which is that the sizes are rectangular and are limited generally to browns and reds. Concrete pavers you can get different shapes and sizes out of them. If you want your home to have a timeless look then brick pavers are the way to go. While they are a bit more expensive they do add value to your home whether you are looking to impress guests or looking to sell it.
