Hi there, I’m Samm Simon, your friendly renovation mascot, and I’m here to help you sort through the summer great debate: natural stone versus interlock. Whether you’re dreaming of a new patio, walkway, or driveway, I’ll keep things honest and practical so you can choose what works best for your home.

**Natural stone vs interlock, honestly**

Flagstone looks incredible and no two patios are alike, but it costs more, and dry-laid flagstone wants a fussier base and periodic re-levelling. Concrete pavers are engineered to be uniform, stronger than poured concrete per square foot, and any single damaged unit lifts out and swaps. Driveways: pavers, almost always. Garden paths and showpiece patios: stone earns its price. We install both and we’ll tell you where each belongs.
