Common Driveway Paving Materials and Their Installation Costs

Is Stamped Concrete Sealing Your Best Option When You Want to Have a Unique Driveway

 

Today, the paver sealing specialists of Unique Seal and Brick Inc will focus on your driveway, since we believe that its role in the yard’s aesthetics is extremely important. We will list a few materials and compare their installation prices as well as some details regarding their maintenance. We hope that the following information will help numerous homeowners in Maywood, IL decide whether stamped concrete sealing is really what they are looking for. Enjoy!

 

  1. Asphalt. That is the most common choice of the local families due to its low installation price. Depending on the company that you decide to book and the brand of asphalt material used it may vary between $2 and $2.50 per sq. ft. If you select this option, bear in mind that an annual seal coating service has to be booked in order to maintain your driveway for many years to come.

  2. Precast pavers. Their price varies between $5 and $20 per sq.ft. but their look is much more sophisticated than the look of asphalt driveways. In terms of maintenance, you may need to occasionally pay for a replacement of the unsettled pavers and joint refilling. What you will have to do yourself every year is remove the weeds which are likely to grow in the joints.

  3. Stamped concrete. Installing it will cost you between $8 and $20 per sq.ft. depending on the patterns and colors that you prefer. If you want to protect the surface intact and keep the original vibrant colors intact, you will have to invest in professional resealing once in a few years.

  4. Natural stone. This, of course, is the most expensive material, starting at installation prices of $25 per sq.ft. Its maintenance is low. The joints may need to be refilled with sand every 5 to 10 years. On the other hand, weed and moss should be removed from that same joints more often and that is considered your duty as a homeowner.
