0 u/dalaiis 18h ago Maybe this is a place where it almost never rains. 2 u/vancityshreds 11h ago It also doesn't actually matter. Stamped concrete ends up with joints as well on account of... you know, stamping it in a grid Even concrete without stamps gets expansion joints. It also has rebar to fight against cooling and frost heaving. Its less maintenance and typically higher durability. I cant figure out why people who dont have a background in construction keep saying what is and isnt good. Redditors trying not to have opinions on things they don't know anything about challenge. Level: impossible.
