How much does it cost to install pavers?
If you want to install pavers on your property, one of the first things you’ll want to do is think about how much it’s going to cost you. The typical range for installing pavers is $3500 – $5000. But how could you take an average like that seriously? Does it even take into account whether the space being paved is a driveway, walkway or patio? Simple circumstances like these can greatly affect the cost of your pavers. You really can’t base your expectation on a random national average that you find on the internet. Online calculators are a nice way to get a basic idea when you’re just getting started with the idea of paving, but you’ll need to get more reliable information as you get more serious about having a renovation done. The best way to get a reliable estimate is to have an in-person assessment done by a contractor. Keep your expectations curbed until you have someone come by and see your yard for what it is.
Pavers are a great investment for your property, regardless of how much they cost. Pavers can have a positive impact on your curb appeal and exterior aesthetic. You can solve any décor issues with a paver installation. There are many materials to choose from when installing pavers, meaning that there’s sure to be a paver that matches the look that you’re going for. Of course, you shouldn’t just decide on any paver that looks nice. That will put you on a fast track to going over budget. A smart idea is to set a budget before you go out shopping for a paving material. In this way you’ll avoid being swept away by the glamour of all of the choices. You’ll have a budget set and, hopefully, you’ll stick to it!
Many factors affect the cost of a paver installation. Of course, the size of the area you want to pave will matter. Larger spaces will cost more money, generally. The material, however, has arguably the most impact on the cost of the installation. Pavers can range from well under $10 a square foot to over $80 per square foot. Of course, a per square foot estimate is labor per square foot + material cost per square foot. The price difference between different paver materials can be quite shocking! Other job-specific circumstances will impact the cost of installing pavers as well. For example, grading your yard is an additional expense. If you want to run a utility line like water, gas or electricity, you could be looking at an installation nearing $10,000. The extravagance of your paved space will also determine the total price. A simple concrete patch will cost much less than a patio outfitted to support an outdoor kitchen. Even your location can impact the cost of your installation. Overall, be sure to choose a budget-friendly material, as this decision will greatly determine how much it costs to install pavers. Don’t worry, you’ll do great!
