Clay pavers are made with real clay that is mixed, extruded, and baked in a kiln at very high temperatures. Concrete pavers are made with a special blend of concrete and coloring that is compacted at very high pressures. Both offer excellent durability, but clay pavers tend to hold their color longer while concrete pavers offer more design versatility.
