"We hired Chris to install pavers in our front yard, and I can confidently say he is a true professional. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and well-organized. When his team began removing the old slabs, they discovered a second unexpected layer of concrete underneath. It took significantly more time and effort to break it all up, but Chris never asked for extra payment. That kind of honesty and integrity is rare. The final result looks amazing ? we couldn?t be happier. Highly recommend!!"

To calculate a preliminary budget, measure your intended driveway area in square feet and multiply by the per-square-foot rate of $18 to $50. Remember to include additional expenses for site preparation, base materials, and labor costs, which vary by location and property conditions.
For most residential projects, the total falls between $8,600 and $24,800. To receive the most accurate estimate, request detailed quotes from at least three reputable contractors and compare their scope of work.
Cobblestone significantly outlasts asphalt in terms of longevity. While asphalt requires replacement every 15 to 20 years, properly installed cobblestone driveways can remain functional for many decades with appropriate maintenance. The individual stone structure allows for simple replacement of damaged sections rather than complete resurfacing. Though the initial installation cost exceeds that of asphalt, the extended lifespan and reduced long-term maintenance requirements often provide better value over time.
A well-designed cobblestone driveway enhances property value through improved curb appeal and perceived quality. Prospective buyers often recognize the premium nature and durability of cobblestone installations. While the upfront investment is substantial, the distinctive appearance and exceptional longevity frequently justify the expense for value-conscious homeowners.
When coordinated with complementary landscaping and exterior elements, a cobblestone driveway can become a standout feature that distinguishes your property in a competitive real estate market.
Cobblestone performs exceptionally well in fluctuating temperatures due to its segmented installation method. Unlike solid concrete or asphalt surfaces that develop continuous cracks during freeze-thaw cycles, individual cobblestones can accommodate slight movement without structural failure.
This resilience depends on proper installation with adequate drainage and appropriate base materials. A professionally installed cobblestone driveway with the correct foundation layers will minimize frost heaving and maintain structural integrity through seasonal temperature variations.
