Paver Patio vs Concrete Patio: Which Is Better for Wisconsin Weather?

Written By Harmony Rice

Wisconsin weather puts patios to the test. Snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles can dramatically impact longevity, so choosing the right material matters.

Concrete Patios

Pros

  • Lower initial cost

  • Clean, simple look

Cons

  • Prone to cracking in freeze-thaw conditions

  • Repairs are noticeable and often permanent

  • Limited design flexibility

Paver Patios

Pros

  • Designed to flex with freeze-thaw movement

  • Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged

  • Wide range of colors, patterns, and textures

  • Higher resale value

Cons

  • Higher upfront investment
