Paver Driveways Cost in James Island
Over the 10 plus years I have been in this trade, I have installed numerous driveways, here in the Lowcountry as well as in the Greater Seattle market. This one operation of paver driveway installation has the widest range in estimated costs. This is VERY rarely a DIY job; however, due to the lack of licensing requirements there are many participants in the marketplace, which can create significant false competition. There are engineered guidelines for vehicular concrete paver driveways, and these apply to the strength of the pavers, the composition and depth of the base, the millage of the geo-technical fabric, the composition of the base materials used, and whether it is a dry set or permeable installation methodology. I have seen quotes from uninsured, unlicensed companies range from $22.00 to $40.00 per square foot. Most licensed, bonded, insured paver companies offering a workmanship guarantee will be in the range of $50.00 to $100.00 per square foot, subject to underlying subgrade composition, weight of projected vehicular traffic, and dry set or permeable installation.
We provide itemized proposals covering demolition, base work, drainage tie-ins, and finishing touches so you understand every line before we begin.
