Size
More square footage means more material and more labor, but size doesn't act alone. A big, open rectangle with easy access can be a simpler build than a smaller space with tight access and a lot of cuts.

Starting prices
How much do paver installation and sealing cost?
Both prices are per square foot, and both are where pricing starts. Your own number comes from a free walkthrough and an itemized written estimate.
| Service | Starts at | What moves your number |
|---|---|---|
| Paver installation | $8 per square foot | Size, equipment access, how much has to be torn out and hauled off, base depth, drainage, the paver line, the pattern and the amount of edge |
| Paver sealing | $1.35 per square foot | Size, and the shape the pavers are in: how much cleaning and stain work they need, whether an old sealer has to be stripped, how much joint sand has washed out, and the finish you pick |

Installation
What moves the cost of a paver installation?
Two jobs the same size can price very differently, for these six reasons.
Access
A wide-open front yard lets a compactor and skid steer work close to the site. A narrow side gate, a pool cage or mature landscaping means more of the job gets done by hand, with material wheeled in one load at a time.
Tear-out and haul-off
An old slab, tired pavers or thick sod has to come out before base work starts. It gets hauled off, not left in a pile, and the more there is to remove, the more labor that step takes.
Base and soil
A driveway needs a deeper base, compacted in lifts, than a patio that carries feet and furniture. Soft or organic soil found in the dig comes out instead of getting buried.
Drainage and grade
If water pools today, the base gets graded to move it, and a low spot may need a channel drain or catch basin. That gets planned before the base goes in.
Paver, pattern and edges
Paver lines differ in material, thickness and finish. Herringbone takes more cuts than running bond, and a shape with curves and cutouts has more edge to restrain than a rectangle.
By project
What changes the price on a driveway, a patio or a pool deck.
Each one is built for a different load, and that's where most of the difference comes from.
| Driveway | Patio | Pool deck | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built to carry | Cars and trucks, every day | Feet, chairs and a grill | Bare, wet feet |
| What moves it most | Breaking out the old driveway, a deeper base, a paver rated for traffic, and herringbone cuts | Back-yard access, sod or an old slab coming out, grading water away from the house, borders and curves | Getting material inside a screen enclosure, pitching the deck away from the pool, and removing an old deck |
| Often comes up | Work at the street, and a permit if your job needs one | HOA review, common in Viera and Suntree | Traction and heat underfoot, and the choice between travertine and concrete pavers |
| More on the build | Driveway pavers | Paver patios | Pool deck pavers |
Travertine usually costs more than concrete pavers. Our travertine pavers page covers how the two compare.
Sealing
How much does it cost to have pavers sealed?
Paver sealing starts at $1.35 per square foot, and we seal pavers other companies laid. Two driveways the same size can still be very different sealing jobs.
Square footage comes first. After that it's the shape the pavers are in. Rust from well water, mold and algae on the shaded side, efflorescence, an old sealer that went cloudy and has to be stripped, and joint sand that's washed out all change the work. The finish counts too, wet-look or matte, and a pool deck may get a grip additive mixed into the sealer.
A surface that only needs a wash is a pressure washing job. The sealing process, step by step, is on our paver sealing page.
Comparing sealing quotes
What a sealing estimate should list.
Whoever quotes it, get these spelled out in writing.
- The square footage, measured on site
- How the surface gets cleaned, and what's done about rust, mold or efflorescence
- Whether an old sealer has to be stripped first
- Re-sanding the joints
- The sealer type and finish, wet-look or matte
- A grip additive, if it's a pool deck
- How long to stay off it afterward

Pavers or concrete
Are pavers cheaper than concrete?
Usually not up front. Here's the rest of the comparison.
| Pavers | Poured concrete | |
|---|---|---|
| Up front | Usually costs more | Plain concrete usually costs less. Stamped or colored concrete closes some of the gap |
| When the ground moves | Pavers come up, the base gets fixed, and the same pavers go back down | The slab cracks, and that section gets cut out and replaced |
| Upkeep | Joint sand, and resealing if you choose to seal | Crack repair if the ground moves |
| Comparing bids | Check that tear-out, base and drainage are on it | Check that the same three are on it |
| Who builds it | We install pavers | We don't pour concrete, so that bid comes from a concrete contractor |

Measuring
Common sizes in square feet.
Handy for the estimate form. Your estimate is based on what we measure on site.
| Size | Square feet |
|---|---|
| 10 x 10 ft | 100 |
| 12 x 12 ft | 144 |
| 12 x 20 ft | 240 |
| 20 x 20 ft | 400 |
| 20 x 50 ft | 1,000 |
| 30 x 50 ft | 1,500 |
A 20x20 driveway and a 20x20 patio are the same size and different builds, so size alone doesn't set the price.
Doing it yourself
Doing it yourself or hiring it out.
Laying pavers yourself saves the labor. The part that decides whether it lasts is the part that's hardest to do by hand: digging to the right depth, compacting the base in lifts, and setting the pitch so water leaves. The seven layers on our paver page are the checklist, whoever builds it.
For sealing, our guide to DIY sealing versus hiring a pro covers when doing it yourself makes sense.
Comparing quotes
What to compare when you collect paver quotes.
Ask every contractor, us too, to spell these out in writing.
- Measured square footage, for each area
- Tear-out and haul-off of anything that's there now
- Excavation and base depth for what the surface will carry
- Edge restraint, and whether it's fastened to the base
- The paver line, thickness and pattern, by name
- Drainage work, if a low spot needs it
- Whether sealing is in this estimate or scheduled for later
- Whether your job needs a permit or HOA review, and who handles each
Bring this list to the walkthrough. We'll go through it with you on site.

Questions
Paver cost questions.
How much does a 20x20 paver patio cost?
Our paver installation starts at $8 per square foot, and we give you the real number for your patio after we measure it, because two 20x20 patios can price very differently. Access to the back yard moves it, and so does whether sod or an old slab has to come out, how much grading the water needs, the paver line and pattern, and any border, curve or fire-pit area. We walk it with you and leave a written, itemized estimate at no charge.
How much does it cost to install 1,000 square feet of pavers?
Paver installation starts at $8 per square foot, and what those 1,000 square feet are decides the rest. A driveway that size needs more base and a thicker paver than a patio, and a pool deck brings its own pitch and access work. Tight access, tear-out, cuts and edge length all take more labor, so we price it after we measure. When you collect quotes, ask each contractor to spell out the excavation, base, pavers, edge restraint and haul-off, so you're comparing the same work instead of two totals.
What does paver installation cost per square foot in Florida?
Groundworks paver installation in Brevard County starts at $8 per square foot. We can only speak for our own work, and that's a starting price, not a quote. Where your job lands depends on access, tear-out and haul-off, base depth, drainage, the paver line, the pattern and the amount of edge. We measure all of that on a free walkthrough and put your number in writing, so you can see which of those apply to your yard.
How much does a 20x20 paver driveway cost?
Paver installation starts at $8 per square foot, and your real number comes from measuring. A 20x20 driveway is the same size as a 20x20 patio, but it isn't built like one. It needs a deeper base for vehicle weight, a paver rated for traffic, and usually herringbone, which puts a cut at every edge. Breaking out and hauling off an old driveway moves the number too, and work at the street can mean more labor and a permit, if your job needs one.
Why did two quotes for the same size driveway come out different?
Because size is only one of the things that set a price. Access, the condition of what's there now, drainage, the paver line, the pattern and how much edge restraint the shape needs can all differ between two driveways that measure the same. Two contractors may not be quoting the same base, either. An itemized estimate should show you which of those is driving the difference, rather than one number at the bottom.
Is choosing a cheaper paver line a good way to save?
It can be. The paver is one direct part of the cost, and lines differ in material, thickness and finish, so a standard concrete paver usually costs less than travertine or a premium line. Check what you're trading, though. On a driveway, the cheaper line still has to be thick enough and rated for vehicle traffic, and that matters more than looks. Our guide to paver types compares the main options side by side.
Does it cost more to reseal pavers that already have an old sealer on them?
It can. Paver sealing starts at $1.35 per square foot, and an old coat that went cloudy, peeled or turned tacky is one of the things that moves a job above that. A failed coat usually has to be stripped before a new one goes on, and the old sealer gets identified first, because water-based and solvent-based sealers take different strippers. If the old coat is still sound, it may only need cleaning, re-sanding and a fresh coat. We'll tell you which on the estimate visit.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
You'll get the starting prices on the phone: paver installation starts at $8 per square foot, and paver sealing starts at $1.35 per square foot. Your own number needs someone on site, because access, what has to come out, drainage and the shape of the surface all move it. Text a few photos with a rough size and we can tell you which of those apply. The walkthrough turns it into an itemized written estimate.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We come out, walk the site with you, measure it, and leave an itemized written estimate, with no charge and no obligation. Call (321) 586-9227, text a photo of the space, or use the estimate form, and we'll book the walkthrough. Some questions we can answer on the phone, and if that's all you need, that's fine with us.
