<h1>How Much Do Pavers Cost?</h1>

Pavers are the granite countertop for your driveway, pool, or
patio. They are the best hardscaping product available to
homeowners today. Their durability and aesthetic qualities are
unmatched by any other product. On a residential scale, pavers can
cost between three dollars a square foot all of the way to twelve
dollars a square foot.
Cost per square foot is dependent on the number of square feet
you have to cover. The rule of thumb is the smaller the area, the
higher the cost per square foot. Homeowners are often surprised to
learn that transforming a ten by ten area of their backyard from
grass to pavers can cost them upwards of fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars. There are fixed costs associated with small jobs,
as well as large jobs, which do not change. These costs are
delivery charges. Everyone knows that the cost of fuel has sky
rocketed over the past five years. Unfortunately, if you want
pavers, that is something that you are going to pay for. Normal
delivery fees from the manufacturers range from two to three
hundred dollars. Not to mention the cost of bringing the base
material to the jobsite or hauling away the excavated, dirt, grass,
and jobsite debris. Without paying for any labor, material, or
company profit, the initial fixed costs to install one hundred
square feet or one thousand square feet can be upwards of five
hundred dollars.
Typically small jobs are left up to the homeowners as do it
yourself projects. Paving companies are happy to install the small
job, but the client must be prepared to pay for the service that
the paving company is providing. The reason for prices well above
five or six dollars a square foot for the small job can be
justified by the fixed cost overhead.
As you increase the size of the paver project, the cost per
square foot decreases, but the bottom line cost increases. The type
of paver you choose can have a minor impact in the cost of the job.
Some paving companies have pricing from their vendors that allow
them to encourage their clients to choose whatever color and shape
paver they like. Whereas other vendors have price points on varying
styles and colors that are fifty cents to a dollar a square foot
different.
Geographical location of your job will also play a part in the
cost of the project. In the southern states, pavers have become
more main stream. Therefore, there is higher demand for the
product, a larger supply of qualified contractors, and more vendor
options. In these areas, pavers are going to cost less than in
other parts of the country where paver vendors and installers
aren't as numerous.
Finally, the type of project you plan to undertake will have the
most significant effect on the bottom cost. If you are going to
remodel an existing patio or pool, thin pavers can be used with do
not require excavation or base material. Driveways can easily be
accessed by large equipment and the concrete or asphalt that is
removed can be taken to recycling plants and disposed of for free.
The most costly project to undertake, on a per square foot basis,
is the new patio in the backyard. Typically grass and dirt has to
be excavated. In most cases, it has to be removed by hand due to
the inaccessibility of machinery to the back yard. The grass that
is removed cannot be disposed for free either. Your contractor will
have to pay to dump the material.
