Interlocking pavers can define a patio area or upgrade your driveway. Installing interlocking pavers costs $3,400 on average, with most homeowners spending between $1,500 and $7,000. Factors like project size, material quality, and location influence the total cost. 

Pavers cost $8 to $25 per square foot, so measuring your space accurately helps estimate your total price. Budget accordingly and hire a professional to ensure proper installation and the longevity of your investment.

Interlocking Pavers Cost Factors

Installing interlocking pavers involves preparation and precision, and costs can vary depending on a variety of factors that impact your total price.

Labor

Professional installation takes a few days. For a small area of 100 square feet, expect about 15 working hours. Skilled installers ensure that pavers are laid correctly for lasting beauty and durability.

Size

The size of your project significantly impacts the total cost. With pavers costing an average of $8 to $25 per square foot, a 100-square-foot patio might cost between $800 and $2,500 for the pavers alone. 

Quality of Materials

The quality of materials you choose greatly influences the look and longevity of your interlocking pavers. Standard options cost $8 to $25 per square foot, including materials and installation. 

If you're considering premium materials like natural stone or marble, costs can increase—natural stone may range from $15 to $50 per square foot, and premium selections like marble can exceed $20 per square foot. Investing in higher-quality materials can elevate your outdoor space and enhance your property's value.

Area Size

Pavers cost $8 to $25 per square foot, which is probably the most accurate way to calculate the total price you'll pay. Your paver installation pro can expertly take accurate measurements to ensure a high-quality result and accurate budgeting.

Interlocking Pavers Cost by Type

Many interlocking pavers are made with concrete and resemble cobblestones, but you can also find interlocking pavers made of various materials to suit your desired aesthetic.

Concrete 

Interlocking pavers are often made of concrete, which costs $8 to $15 per square foot. This is the least expensive type of interlocking paver, and concrete can be made in a wide variety of colors and shapes. Although concrete pavers are more prone to cracking than brick, they are also inexpensive and easy to repair. Concrete works well for driveways and patios alike.

Brick

Clay brick interlocking pavers cost $10 to $20 per square foot. This material is ideal for high-traffic areas and can withstand heavy vehicle weights. Brick pavers are less prone to cracking than concrete.

Stone

Natural slate/stone interlocking pavers range from $15 to $50 per square foot. This material is better for patios and walkways, as it won’t hold up well to heavy traffic. Stone interlocking pavers won’t fade in color like concrete or brick, but the natural material is more expensive than other paver types.

DIY vs. Hiring a Pro

If you're a handy homeowner considering installing interlocking pavers yourself, a small project of 60 square feet might cost as little as $350. This can be cost-effective if your landscape is relatively flat. However, keep in mind that paver installation is time-intensive—it can take several days, even for seasoned professionals. The process requires laying a proper sand base, placing pavers precisely, and ensuring adequate drainage and stability.

Hiring a Professional

While hiring a professional installer may have a higher upfront cost, it ensures the job is done correctly and efficiently. Professionals have the tools and experience to handle any complications, reducing the risk of costly mistakes. Ultimately, hiring a pro can provide peace of mind and long-term value for your investment.

Consider hiring a professional paver installer to ensure your patio or driveway is built to last and enhances your outdoor space for years to come.
