How Expensive is a Paver Driveway?

Looking to install a paver driveway? The paving company in Tampa, FL is the best you can call. You’re probably wondering how much that’ll cost you. In this article, we’ll go over the average cost of a new paver driveway, plus some specific estimates based on the paver materials you plan on using.

Pavers vary greatly in price, so make sure that you make an economical decision regarding this selection!

On average, driveway pavers will cost you from $10 to $50 per square foot. The normal driveway size is 16 x 18, so that means the average cost of a driveway ballparks from around $6000 to a whopping $30,400. That pinpoints the average to around $17000. Depending on the material you choose, that price can even max up to $80 per square foot, or $49,000 in all. It’s safe to say that no matter which type of paver you decide to move forward with, a driveway is a considerable investment that should be thought through carefully.

Now, let’s take a look at how different paver materials contribute to the cost of driveway installation.

Brick

Brick pavers are one of the cheapest material choices you can make. Depending on the quality of the material, installing brick pavers can cost, on average, from $10 -$30 per square foot. Brick pavers are normally only found in a rectangular shape, but some people really appreciate the vibrant earth tones brick pavers give to a driveway.

Cobblestone

For a cobblestone driveway, prices go up to about $20 – $70 per square foot. This is definitely on the more expensive side of the spectrum, but there is a reason for this. Cobblestone pavers come in a huge variety of shapes, textures, colors, and styles. You could even combine pavers of different sizes and colors for a unique and memorable look. Belgian blocks are similar to cobblestone pavers. They’re often larger and they come in a more antique-like look. The prices of these two choices are relatively similar. 

Permeable Pavers

You can expect a permeable paver driveway to cost you anywhere from $10 – $40 per square foot. These pavers are usually made of concrete, brick, or stone, but the manner in which they are installed and a gravel base gives driveways made in this fashion the capability to absorb large amounts of rain. These driveways are good for the environment, but they require more maintenance than normal pavers, as the spaces between the pavers need to be cleaned of dirt and debris about once a year.

Concrete

Concrete pavers are a common and affordable option, with driveways of this material pricing around $10 – $25 per square foot. Though affordable, as the sidewalk can attest concrete driveways are not as durable as their brick and cobblestone counterparts, so be sure to take this into consideration.

Paver Stone

Sandstone or bluestone pavers give a unique look to a driveway, with square foot cost ranging from $15 – $60 per square foot. These pavers can’t withstand as much pressure as brick or cobblestone, so be warned!
