Find top rated interlocking pavers for driveways & floors installers in your area

Yes—paver driveways are worthwhile investments. They deliver decades of durability and a big boost in curb appeal. Standard concrete may be cheaper up front, but pavers resist cracks, settle less, and let you mix colors and patterns for a custom look. Talk with your installer about options that hit the sweet spot between style and budget.

With routine upkeep, most paver driveways last 30 to 50 years. Material choice matters: permeable pavers see 20 to 25 years, while cobblestone can stretch to 75. Sealing joints, preventing weed growth, and replacing cracked pieces promptly all extend the surface’s life. Your installer can outline a maintenance plan tailored to your climate and paver type.

For a 500-square-foot driveway, budget anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000. Grass or concrete pavers land on the lower end, while stone and cobblestone push the price higher. Labor, site prep, and local rates also sway the final total, so request detailed quotes before committing. 

Opting for quality materials and an experienced crew means fewer repairs and a driveway that looks great for decades.

Paver driveways aren’t perfect. You’ll pay more up front than you would for asphalt or poured concrete, and the joints need occasional weeding and resanding to stay tidy. Over many seasons, individual pavers may settle or shift, meaning you’ll have to reset or replace a few here and there. Factor these chores and costs into your decision before breaking ground.
