TL;DR
An interlocking concrete paver is a dense, machine-molded concrete unit laid hand-tight on a compacted aggregate base and bedding sand, where jointing sand and edge restraints lock the field together so loads spread across neighboring units. Manufactured to ASTM C936 with strengths around 8,000 PSI, the units outlast poured slabs in freeze-thaw climates and allow spot repairs by lifting and relaying individual pieces.
