Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and site preparation requirements.

Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than asphalt and concrete driveways. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.

The best material to put between pavers is polymeric sand. This sand contains silica and quartz, making it more durable than coarse or regular sand. It hardens after installation, so your pavers stay in place. Best of all, polymeric sand prevents weed growth in the gaps between pavers. You’ll have less maintenance to deal with once spring rolls around.

If you care for and maintain your cobblestone driveway, it may last for several centuries. So, while cobblestone driveways have a high upfront price tag, you’re unlikely to need to replace it throughout your lifetime. This gives cobblestone driveways a major advantage over other driveways, which tend to have much shorter life spans. 

For example, asphalt driveways last between 15 and 30 years, while concrete driveways last around 50 years.
