Just joined this forum and trying to learn the tools.
We are in a similar situation but live in Chicago, We have the option of concrete, brick paver and asphalt. Assuming cost is not an issue, Want to know the pros and cons about these 3 materials, particularly, as it relates to our harsh winters. Very interested in ease of maintenance and durability. Also any links to websites for further information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any responses. Anna
