paver
Driveway interlocking block
A paver is a flat stone, brick, or concrete block used for surfacing driveways, patios, and walkways: We laid pavers around the pool.
Pavers interlock or fit together without mortar, making them easier to install and replace than poured concrete.
The word also refers to a person or machine that paves roads.
