cost of pavers versus asphalt
Labor Costs. When looking at the cost of a paver driveway, homeowners must factor in any labor costs. For an average 1,000 square foot driveway, the labor can cost $2,500 or more, which adds an additional $2.50 per square foot to the overall cost of the driveway.
A basic asphalt driveway costs about $2 to $5 per square foot, according to CostHelper.com. That amounts to $720 to $1,800 for a basic standard-size residential, two-car asphalt driveway measuring 18 feet wide and 20 feet long.
