Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.

Pavers should be resealed at least once every three to five years. Pavers that are exposed to excessive foot traffic, wear and tear, or volatile weather may benefit from being resealed more frequently. Consider resealing pavers whenever you notice stains or discoloration beginning to form.

Most professional permeable paver installations take between 2 and 7 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Small patios or walkways may only take a few days, while large driveways with deep base layers, edging, and drainage components can take a full week or more. Weather, access to the site, and whether demolition is needed also affect the timeline.
