Yes, in most cases, stamped concrete, which costs an average of $12 per square foot, tends to be more affordable than laying pavers. This is especially true if you’re comparing stamped concrete to brick pavers, which cost between $8 to $50 per square foot. With the right design choices, you can closely mimic the look of brick using stamped concrete.

Depending on material and design complexity, costs range from $10 to $30 per square foot. Installation labor increases the total.

A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.

The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.
