[MrBill]

I am considering Cambridge pavers for our backyard patios (app. 2,000 S.F.), specifically the Kings Court Collection. Price is $2.56 per S.F. plus nominal delivery charge, $90 per truck load.

My wife uses a wheelchair, and sometimes a walker, so we want smooth surface pavers. The Cambridge literature highlights it's "ArmorTec" -- "Manufactured into the top 3/8 inch of Cambridge Pavingstones is color saturated, extra dense concrete made with super-fine sand granules and devoid of any large aggregate (stones)."

I have seen samples of the pavers and they are smooth compared to other pavers I've seen. You can see the "saturated/darker color" in the top 3/8" inch layer.

ALTERNATIVE: I have been looking at Hanson pavers (Niagara) that I can purchase for $1.89 per S.F. for standard 4 x 8 pavers. Delivery charges $75 per load.

So, my QUESTION is, does anyone have experience pro/con with these pavers? Does the Armotec "treated" paver retain it's color longer than other pavers? Comments?
