Pavers are like having a slab of granite around your pool or patio. In terms of hardscaping materials, they are unparalleled. You won’t find any product with better longevity and style than them. Pavers can range in price from $3 per square foot to $12 per square foot for a home project.
The cost per square foot is calculated by multiplying the total square footage by the cost per square foot. Generally, the greater the price per square foot, the smaller the area. The average homeowner is taken aback when they find that it will cost them between $1,500 and $2,000 to pave over a 10-by-10-foot section of their property. There are ongoing expenses that must be covered regardless of the size of the job. Delivery fees are included in this total. The price of gasoline has increased
dramatically during the previous five years. You’ll have to shell out some cash if you’re set on having pavers installed. The typical cost of shipping from the manufacturer is $300. The expense of transporting the base material to the construction site or removing the excavated earth, grass, and other debris must also be considered. Without factoring in the price of labor, materials, or firm profit, the upfront fixed expenses to install 100 square feet or 1000 square feet can easily exceed $500.
Homeowners are often expected to complete minor repairs and upkeep on their own. Even while paving businesses are eager to take on such a little project, the client must be financially able to do so. The high business expense justifies charging more than $5 or $6 per square foot for such a modest project.
The total cost of a paver project goes up even as the cost per square foot drops as the size of the project grows. There may be a slight variation in price depending on the type of paver you go with. Some paving businesses are in a position to recommend that their customers select the paver color and form of their choice because of the competitive pricing they receive from their suppliers. At the same time, other retailers charge anywhere from fifty cents to a dollar more per square foot for the same range of styles and colors.

The location of your work also plays a role in the overall price tag. Pavers have recently entered the mainstream in the southern states. This results in increased competition among suppliers and increased demand for the product itself. Pavers will be less expensive in these regions than in others of the country because there are more paver suppliers and installers available.
Last but not least, the type of project you intend to carry out will impact the final cost most. Thin pavers can be laid directly over an existing patio or pool without any prior excavation or base material. Large machinery can easily access driveways; whatever concrete or asphalt is removed can be sent to recycling companies for free disposal. The new patio in the backyard is square foot for square foot, the most expensive project to do. Typically, soil and grass must be dug up. Since most people cannot access heavy machinery, it’s usually removed manually. The cut grass also cannot be thrown away for free. Your contractor will bear the cost of waste disposal.
