Only if you are going to perform repeated vertical landings on the same spot.

If you are doing short-rolling landings, or only an occasional VL on different spots, then normal Mil-Spec runway concrete is sufficient.

Heck, with a short-rolling landing/take-off even asphalt works, as long as you don't keep using the same patch over & over.


The special pads are for repeated regular vertical landings.
