Prevents dust and water

If you have a block paved driveway, you will see that there will be considerably less water and dust accumulation on the driveway taking away a massive headache on your part.
Prevents temperature damage
While driveways are in general sturdy, they often crack when snow or ice water gets down between the pores of the concrete and expand while freezing. This is why winter is a bad thing for driveways. Also, constant exposure to the heat of sunlight offset by the chill of the night can cause your driveway to crack.
