Are paver driveways worth the cost?

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.

How long do paver driveways last?

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.

How much does a 500‑square‑foot driveway cost?

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.

What are the disadvantages of paver driveways?

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.

"I need to revise a previous review. Jim did do excellent work. His cuts were absolutely plumb, straight and horizontal. Previously I made a statement regarding the precision of his cuts and that was only due to one cut extending outside of the area necessary to install the window. I previously stated that I would not use Jim again, which is misleading. I merely meant that, being fairly handy myself, I would feel confident enough to do the same job myself in the future after having seen how it is done. As far as the quality of workmanship, I have no significant reason for criticism. The final product is excellent, complies with code, and provides much better lighting for our future basement bedrooms than what was there before."
