Is permeable paving expensive?

• <div><p>Yes, permeable paving is expensive. For driveways, expect to pay up to <b>$70 per square foot</b>; for patios, permeable paving can cost up to <b>$30</b> <b>per square foot</b>. Costs will depend on the type of material you choose, plus the standard labor rate in your area.</p></div>

What kind of driveway can be exposed to water right after installation?

• <div><p>Gravel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">one of the few driveway materials</a> that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at <b>$1 to $3 per square foot</b>, and can also last upward of 100 years.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t put gravel under pavers?

• <div><p>Gravel is crucial to your paver patio&rsquo;s drainage, meaning it plays a massive role in the lifetime of your patio. Gravel holds the pavers in place and allows water to move away from your patio to prevent erosion or stone damage. </p><p>Without gravel, your paver patio will need replacing much sooner, and in the meantime, water damage and potential weed growth will cause you a lot of headaches.</p></div>

Q: What types of designs can be created with interlocking pavers?

• <div><p>Pavers come in diverse shapes, colors, and patterns, allowing for varied creative designs, including contemporary or traditional layouts personalized to taste.</p></div>

Q: Can you walk or drive on pavers after sealing them?

• <div><p>You can walk on newly sealed pavers as long as they&rsquo;ve had enough time to dry and cure&mdash;typically after 24 hours for patios and walkways. Even so, don&rsquo;t rush it. Humidity, temperature, and the type of sealant you use can stretch that window up to 72 hours. Rushing it can leave footprints or even damage the finish, especially if the surface hasn&rsquo;t fully hardened. For driveways, wait at least three full days before parking or driving over them. Always check your sealant label for the most accurate timeline, since not all products cure the same way. </p></div>
