Is a paver driveway worth it?

• <div><p>Driveway pavers are often worth the cost. Paver types like cobblestone, brick, and concrete are highly durable, and permeable paver options can be tremendously eco-friendly. While you may pay more for a paver driveway, you’ll see great returns from the increased curb appeal and low maintenance compared to other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">types of driveways</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you just lay stepping stones on top of grass?

• <div><p>Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.</p></div>

Q: Is three inches of asphalt enough depth for a driveway?

• <div><p>Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.</p></div>

Q: How long will a driveway last?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">lifespan of an asphalt driveway</a> ranges from 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last between 20 and 30 years, depending on several factors. Extreme temperature changes, cold weather, poor maintenance, and heavy traffic can all shorten the lifespan of your driveway. Be sure to reseal your driveway regularly to protect it from the elements and give it the best chance at a long lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How do you stick pavers to concrete?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">pavers over an existing concrete slab</a>, you don&rsquo;t need to affix the majority of the pavers, but you should use a polyurethane-based adhesive on the border pavers. Polyurethane will expand and contract with temperature changes, which will help keep the pavers firmly in place throughout the year. It&rsquo;s also strong enough to stand up to foot traffic. You&rsquo;ll use polymeric sand between the non-border pavers to keep them in place and prevent shifting.</p></div>
