The Price of a Paver Walkway A paver pathway will cost between $8 and $25 per square foot to install. Factors such as size, shape, and material choice add to the overall cost of your paver walkway. For example, if you choose an expensive type of paver, this will increase the price of your paver pathway. Paving materials are only one part of what goes into the cost of your paver pathway. Other factors include the type of foundation you build for your paver patio, the size of the pavers you select, and the amount of labor involved in installing your paver path. Installing a paver pathway that is too small will result in poor drainage and an unattractive space. Installing it too late in the year may cause it to become icy in winter. Paver pathways are used for both aesthetic and functional purposes. They can be used to separate areas of your yard or connect them with a natural looking surface. You can also use paver stones as stepping stones across a stream or water-filled ditch. The quality of work done on your paver pathway will affect its life span. Make sure the contractor you hire has some experience working with pavers.
