I was thinking replacing my decade old, builder-provided asphalt driveway with interlock. Noticed a flyer in my mailbox today that was promoting interlock with a cement base. This supposedly eliminates weed/grass from coming through (permanantly) and "lasts forever". Are there any real ben...

Came home today to find out that my neighbour across the street received a warning from the city of Brampton that when he re-did his driveway by interlock, someone must have complained.
