What does a paver driveway cost in the East Bay?
Short answer
Paver driveway cost depends on size, removal of the old driveway, the depth of driveway-rated base, the paver and pattern you choose, borders and drainage. Clay soil in the East Bay makes base work a big part of the job. Alfonso measures on site, shows material samples and gives you a free written estimate.
Size and removal
Square footage sets the material and labor. Breaking out and hauling away old concrete or asphalt is part of most driveway jobs.
The base you don't see
A driveway carries vehicles, so the subgrade is compacted and a driveway-rated aggregate base goes in before any paver is laid. This is what keeps the surface tight after several winters.
Pavers, pattern and borders
Paver line, color, pattern complexity, borders and curves all change cut time and material. Alfonso brings samples to the estimate.
Slope and drainage
Driveways that drain toward the garage are regraded, and a channel drain may be added at the low end.
