Cost Comparison

Concrete: $8-$15/sq ft. 600-sq-ft driveway: $4,800-$9,000.

Pavers: $15-$30/sq ft. Same driveway: $9,000-$18,000.

Pavers cost more upfront. But look at the 10-year picture.

Durability in Florida

Concrete: Cracks within 3-5 years from sandy soil shifts, tree roots, and thermal cycling. By year 10, significant cracking and staining. Repairs look terrible.

Pavers: Individual units flex with the ground. One shifts? Pop it out and fix it. Rated 8,000+ PSI. Last 25+ years.

Heat

Concrete can hit 150F on a July afternoon. Lighter-colored pavers and travertine stay noticeably cooler.

Drainage

Water sheets off concrete. Pavers drain between joints. Less pooling, less runoff toward your foundation.

The Verdict

Tight budget? Concrete works. Looking at the 10-20 year picture? Pavers are the better investment.
