A paver driveway is often worth the additional upfront cost when long-term appearance, durability and repairability matter more than the lowest initial price.
Advantages include:
Those benefits depend on proper installation. Wall & Company prepares paver driveways for vehicle loads with approximately 12 inches of compacted gravel, multi-lift compaction and a supporting grid system. Quality driveway-rated pavers, edge restraint, joint material and drainage are also essential.
If the foundation is reduced to lower the price, premium pavers alone will not justify the investment.
Learn why the hidden details beneath a paver installation matter.
Yes. Driveway-rated pavers can support pickup trucks, delivery vehicles, RVs and other heavy vehicles when the pavement system is designed for the expected loads.
A heavy-duty installation should include:
Wall & Company builds paver driveways differently from patios and walkways because repeated vehicle loads require substantially more foundation preparation.
Tell the contractor about RVs, heavy trucks, trailers or frequent turning before the driveway is designed. Vehicle weight, axle loads and tight turning movements should all influence the construction plan.

A professionally installed paver driveway should last 25–50 years or longer, with the potential for an even longer service life when the foundation is correctly built and the surface is maintained.
aBelgard reports that properly installed paver systems commonly remain functional for decades.
Longevity depends on:
Wall & Company installs approximately 12 inches of compacted gravel beneath paver driveways, compacts the base in manageable lifts and uses a supporting grid system to improve load distribution and stability.
If a localized problem occurs, individual pavers can often be removed and reinstalled rather than replacing the entire driveway.
Learn why proper foundation construction determines paver longevity.
Paver driveway quotes can vary significantly even when contractors specify the same paver. The largest differences are often buried beneath the finished driveway.
Price differences may include:
Wall & Company prepares driveways for repeated vehicle loads with approximately 12 inches of compacted gravel, multi-lift compaction and a supporting grid system. That requires more excavation, hauling, aggregate, equipment time and labor than a patio-style foundation.
A lower quote may reduce these hidden components while using the same visible paver.
Compare written specifications for the complete pavement system—not simply driveway dimensions, paver brand and total price.

Kelly from Spokane says:
“Bryce and Jackson are amazing! They did the best work and were easy to collaborate with on design choices while doing the work to bring our vision to life.
Wall and Company is a great business to work with for all landscaping needs. Highly recommended.
Wall & Company installs a deeper compact gravel base than the industry norm. This means your patios, drives and paths will last longer and with less shifting.
We install commercial grade edge restraints closer together than most of our competitors. This adds additional protection against shifting pavers.
Wall & Company compacts each gravel lift individually. While this adds time to the project, it substantially increases your project's longevity.
The details beneath the surface are the difference between a project that will last and one that won't. Wall & Company is passionate about the hidden details.
