pavers

Interlocking patio stones

Pavers are flat stones, bricks, or concrete blocks used to create hard outdoor surfaces like patios, walkways, and driveways.

Unlike poured concrete, pavers are individual units laid in patterns: We're replacing the cracked concrete with brick pavers.

The term also refers to workers or machines that lay pavement.
