A professionally installed Wall & Company paver driveway typically costs approximately $35–$60 per square foot in the Spokane area.
Because residential driveways are considerably larger than patios, the total investment can vary substantially with size.
| Driveway Size | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| 800 sq. ft. | $28,000–$48,000 |
| 1,000 sq. ft. | $35,000–$60,000 |
| 1,200 sq. ft. | $42,000–$72,000 |
| 1,500 sq. ft. | $52,500–$90,000 |
| 2,000 sq. ft. | $70,000–$120,000 |
Wall & Company’s typical paver-driveway projects range from approximately 800–2,000 square feet.
The biggest variables determining where your driveway falls within the $35–$60 range are driveway shape, paver selection, borders, equipment access, soil conditions and excavation requirements.
How Do I Estimate My Paver Driveway Cost?
Start by estimating the driveway’s square footage.
A 20-foot-wide driveway that is 60 feet long contains approximately 1,200 square feet.
20 × 60 = 1,200 square feet
At Wall & Company’s typical $35–$60 per-square-foot range, that produces an initial planning budget of approximately:
$42,000–$72,000
A site evaluation then determines where within that range the project is likely to fall.
Straight Driveways Are Generally Less Expensive Than Complex Layouts
A relatively straight rectangular driveway requires fewer cuts and typically makes more efficient use of materials.
Curved driveways, flared entrances, circular sections and detailed transitions require additional layout and cutting.
Borders can also change the price. A contrasting paver border or concrete border creates a more finished design but adds materials and installation work.
These details generally don’t change the fundamental pricing model—they help determine where the project falls within the $35–$60 per-square-foot range.
Soil Conditions Matter Even More Under a Driveway
A driveway doesn’t carry patio furniture and foot traffic. It repeatedly supports cars, pickups, delivery vehicles and potentially RVs or trailers.
That makes the foundation especially important.
Spokane-area ground conditions can vary considerably.
Spokane Valley is dominated in many areas by the coarse deposits of the Glacial Lake Missoula floods—gravel, cobbles, boulders and sand.
Green Bluff commonly has deep, well-drained soils with silt-loam upper layers and increasingly gravelly or sandy material at depth.
Five Mile Prairie, Indian Trail and north Spokane can have a more complicated mix of soils, flood sediments and basalt-influenced terrain.
Properties around South Hill and south Spokane can encounter varying slopes, finer sediments, rock and other excavation conditions.
These regional descriptions don’t tell us exactly what is beneath an individual driveway. They explain why two properties only a few miles apart can require different amounts of excavation and site preparation.
Excavation Is a Major Part of Paver Driveway Construction
A paver driveway requires enough excavation to accommodate the complete pavement system while achieving the proper finished elevation and drainage.
At Wall & Company, a typical paver driveway includes approximately 12 inches of compacted gravel base plus a supporting grid system, along with the bedding layer and driveway-rated pavers.
For perspective, creating one foot of base beneath a 1,200-square-foot driveway represents approximately 44 cubic yards of volume.
That’s why excavation and equipment access matter.
The construction process can require moving large amounts of soil out of the site and bringing substantial quantities of aggregate and pavers back in.
A driveway with easy equipment and truck access will generally be less costly to construct than one where material movement is constrained.
What Does the Wall & Company Price Include?
Wall & Company’s $35–$60 per-square-foot planning range assumes a driveway built as a driveway—not a patio-style paver installation that happens to have vehicles parked on it.
A typical Wall & Company driveway system includes:
- Necessary excavation
- Approximately 12 inches of compacted gravel
- Base installed and compacted in multiple lifts
- Supporting grid or stabilization system
- Proper bedding material
- Driveway-rated pavers
- Strong edge restraints
- Stabilized joints
- Appropriate grading and drainage
- Cutting, fitting and finish work
The exact specification is adjusted to the property and anticipated vehicle loads.
Paver Type and Design Affect the Price
Not every paver is intended for driveway use.
Paver thickness, load rating, size, finish, color and manufacturer all affect material cost. Patterns, borders and transitions can affect installation time as well.
If the driveway will regularly support an RV, heavy pickup, trailer or other unusually heavy vehicle, tell Wall & Company during the design process. Expected vehicle loads and turning movements can affect how the driveway should be constructed.
What Will My Paver Driveway Probably Cost?
Use $35–$60 per square foot as your Wall & Company planning range.
A straightforward driveway with good equipment access, favorable excavation, a simple layout and standard driveway-rated pavers will generally fall toward the lower portion.
Premium pavers, borders, curves, difficult excavation, restricted access and complex site conditions move the project toward the upper portion.
For a 1,000-square-foot driveway, plan approximately $35,000–$60,000.
For a 1,500-square-foot driveway, plan approximately $52,500–$90,000.
And for a large 2,000-square-foot driveway, a realistic planning range is approximately $70,000–$120,000.
Those ranges include the substantial foundation preparation Wall & Company uses to build a paver driveway for Spokane conditions and repeated vehicle loads.
