A paver driveway is one of the most impactful ways to improve your home’s curb appeal. Durable, beautiful, and customizable, it's an investment that pays off not only in aesthetics but also in long-term performance. But before getting started, many homeowners ask the same question: how much does a paver driveway cost in 2025?
To help clarify expectations, Techo-Bloc conducted a recent survey of professional contractors across North America. We asked them to estimate the cost of installing a medium-sized residential paver driveway — specifically, a standard two-car driveway measuring approximately 24 by 24 feet (576 square feet).
Here’s what they told us.
How Much Should You Budget for a Paver Driveway in 2025?
Based on Techo-Bloc’s recent contractor survey, here are the estimated installation costs for a paver driveway in 2025:
In the United States:
- Minimum cost for a paver driveway: approximatively $15,000 USD
- Maximum cost for a paver driveway: up to $34,000 USD
In Canada:
- Minimum cost for a paver driveway: approximately $14,500 CAD
- Maximum cost for a paver driveway: as high as $32,000 CAD
These ranges include complete installation — from excavation and base preparation to the laying of high-quality pavers, jointing sand, and edge restraints. The actual cost of a paver driveway in 2025 will vary based on location, complexity, materials selected, and the condition of the site.
In short, homeowners can expect to pay between $15,000 and $34,000 USD (or $14,500 to $32,000 CAD) for a professionally installed standard two-car driveway measuring approximately 576 square feet this year.
What Affects the Cost of a Paver Driveway?
Several factors contribute to the price of a paver driveway. Here’s what can move your project toward the higher or lower end of the range:
- Paver Selection
The choice of paver directly affects cost. Premium options like the Sleek paver or Westmount offer exceptional strength and style, designed specifically for vehicular traffic. Products made with HD² technology — like Sleek or Mika — provide high density, vibrant color, and ultra-durable finishes that resist de-icing salts, freeze-thaw cycles, and fading.

-
Pattern and Layout Complexity
More intricate patterns — like herringbone, hexagonal mosaics, or checkerboard layouts — require additional labor and often more precise cuts. Pavers like Industria, Valet, or Diamond offer a wide range of textures and layouts to create a unique visual impact.
-
Base Materials and Jointing
Proper installation includes a well-compacted base layer and polymeric jointing sand to lock everything in place. These materials add to durability — and cost — but are non-negotiable for longevity.
Why Choose Concrete Pavers Over Asphalt or Poured Concrete?
While paver driveways cost more than asphalt or poured concrete, they offer significant advantages:
-
Durability: Pavers are built to handle heavy loads and resist cracking, even in extreme freeze-thaw climates.
-
Easy Repairs: Unlike poured surfaces, pavers can be individually replaced if damaged.
-
Design Flexibility: Choose from dozens of colors, textures, and patterns that match your home's architecture.
-
Increased Home Value: A well-designed paver driveway enhances curb appeal and marketability.
Many Techo-Bloc pavers, such as Blu 80, Mika, and Westmount, are specifically engineered for vehicular applications, combining beauty with strength. Their de-icing salt resistance and advanced surface technology (like Klean-Bloc or HD²) make them an ideal long-term solution for driveways across North America.
Maintenance: A Long-Term Payoff
Once installed, paver driveways are easy to care for. Regular sweeping, occasional rinsing, and seasonal inspections go a long way. Using a sealant can help protect against stains and maintain that “just installed” look for years to come. Compared to asphalt — which needs regular sealing — or concrete, which can crack and stain over time, pavers require less upkeep and offer more peace of mind.
