How Much do Driveway Pavers Cost?

November 30, 2009

Driveway pavers, in the most general of terms, cost more than concrete but less than cobblestones to install. No, that isn’t much information, but it’s a starting point. The cost of driveway pavers can vary based on the pavers themselves, and also on the requirements of each individual job.

Driveway pavers by themselves can cost from $3 to $20 per paver, so we already have a wide price range just for the materials. Of course, pavers vary in size, so your cost per square foot will reflect that variance. There are a few more things which could affect the cost of installing driveway pavers;

  • Your location matters very much. The materials, equipment and people must be transported to the site, so the further out you are, the more expensive this can be.
  • The condition of your driveway matters, as well. It costs between $1.50 and $2.50 per square foot to prepare the soil beneath the driveway, presuming that it doesn’t contain clay, bedrock, or Incan ruins.
  • Your local building codes and other ordinances will affect the cost of installing your driveway pavers. The more “hoops” that your contractor must jump through to do the job, the more of that expense he will pass on to you.

The real cost of any construction project only becomes apparent as time goes by. Pavers have many advantages over concrete and asphalt which make them easier to maintain and more affordable to repair. So, to review the question; What do driveway pavers cost? As much as you want them to, for as long as you need them to.
