Patios in Essex & Morris County

Concrete patios cost less upfront. That’s the appeal. But five to ten years later, you’re looking at cracks, uneven sections, and repair costs that add up fast. Once concrete cracks, fixing it means patches that never quite match, or tearing the whole thing out and starting over. Paver patios handle ground movement differently. Each paver stone is individual, interlocking with the ones around it. When the ground shifts—and it will, especially through freeze-thaw cycles—pavers flex slightly instead of cracking. That’s why you see 30-year-old paver patios that still look solid, while concrete from the same era is a mess. Cambridge pavers come with ArmorTec technology, which is a protective coating that resists fading, staining, and wear. The color goes through the top layer of the paver, so even after decades of use, they don’t look washed out. They’re also slip-resistant, which matters if you have a pool or if your patio gets morning dew. Drainage is another big difference. Water doesn’t pool on paver patios the way it does on concrete. It drains between the joints, which means your patio dries faster and you don’t end up with standing water that freezes into a hazard. That’s a practical advantage you notice every time it rains.
