Driveway Pavers FAQs

Have questions? This is a short list of our most frequently asked questions about driveway pavers. For more information, please call 877-728-3778.

• Can you use pavers on sloped driveways?

  Yes, pavers can be used on sloped driveways. We always make sure proper measurements are taken during the design installation to prevent downslope movement.

• Can you put pavers over a concrete driveway?

  The short answer? No. To ensure maximum stability and strength, pavers should not be laid over a concrete driveway. The old concrete needs to be removed and a solid, joint sand stabilizing base made especially for pavers should be installed.

• How long does a paver driveway last?

  Our paver installations are designed to last for decades. We’re so confident in our work that every driveway paver project we complete is backed by our industry-leading 25-year workmanship warranty program. 

• Can a paving stone driveway withstand harsh weather conditions?

  Paving stones are extraordinarily durable and easy to maintain, even in less-than stellar weather. Because they are twice as strong as concrete, they can handle more wear and tear, including snow and heavy vehicles. 
  
  An interlocking paving stone driveway is designed to distribute weight evenly and can shift slightly without cracking or crumbling like concrete. This makes it an ideal material for places that see freezing conditions or in earthquake-prone areas. Drainage issues can also be addressed before building your paving stone driveway to eliminate worries of puddles or erosion.
  

• How much do driveway pavers cost?

  One of the best things about paving stones is the wide variety of shapes, colors, textures, and styles they come in. However, this also makes putting a driveway paver price per square foot on them nearly impossible.

• How long does it take to install a paver driveway?

  Each driveway installation is unique, so project time can vary based on the complexity of your project. Factors that influence how long it will take to install your paver driveway include: 
  
  
  Driveway size: We tackle projects big and small, from a single-car space to a paver driveway for a multi-car garage. 
  
  Design complexity: Whether you’re looking for a simple driveway made using matching stones or intricate designs featuring multiple shapes and colors, we can do it all. 
  
  Weather conditions: Mild, cool temps make for good working conditions and a smoother installation process, whereas extreme heat, rain, or snow can slow the process down. 
  

• Do I need to maintain my paver driveway regularly?

  Our interlocking pavers driveways are simple to maintain. Follow these steps to keep your driveway pavers in tip-top shape: 
  
  Clean regularly: When it comes to extending the lifetime of your pavers for your driveway, a little regular cleaning pays off in the long run. Sweep or hose down your pavers on a regular basis to prevent grime buildup. We also recommend pressure-washing your driveway once a year for a refresh. 
  
  Pull weeds: In the event that weeds crop up between your pavers, pull them as soon as you see them. Weeds or trees with heavy-duty roots can cause the ground beneath your pavers to shift. 
  
  Re-seal every few years: Periodically sealing your pavers for driveway can prevent surface damage and bring back its shine. We recommend doing so every 3-5 years for the best results.
