What drives the price on Long Island
Three factors push LI paver driveway pricing above national averages: (1) freeze-thaw base depth — 10–12 inches of compacted RCA is standard versus 6 inches in milder climates, (2) town permit and curb-cut requirements that vary significantly between Nassau and Suffolk municipalities, and (3) the Gold Coast demand for Belgian block borders, paver aprons, and heated systems that turn a $15,000 driveway into a $35,000 install.
Town-level price variance
Great Neck, Old Westbury, Manhasset and Sands Point installations average 25–40% higher than Bay Shore, Patchogue or Brentwood — driven by larger driveway sizes (often 1,200+ sqft versus 600), Belgian block edging requirements, and premium Techo-Bloc or natural stone material selection on estate properties.
Two-car driveway size calculator
A standard Long Island two-car driveway is 600 sqft (20' x 30'). Multiply your square footage by the range for your chosen material. Add 10% for waste, cuts, and pattern complexity. Belgian block borders add roughly $40–$70 per linear foot on top of the field price.

- What is the cheapest paver driveway material on Long Island?
- Concrete pavers from Cambridge and Nicolock are the most affordable at $20–$35/sqft installed — far more durable than asphalt over a 25-year cost cycle.
- Why are paver driveways more expensive in Old Westbury and Manhasset?
- Gold Coast towns typically require heavier base depth (12"+ for estate driveways), premium materials (Techo-Bloc, natural stone, Belgian block borders), and often heated systems — pushing total cost into the $30,000–$60,000 range.
- Does the cost include permits?
- Yes. We handle Nassau and Suffolk town permits as part of every install. Permit cost varies by town: typically $150–$600 depending on driveway size and curb-cut requirements.
- Is a paver apron cheaper than a full paver driveway?
- Yes — a paver apron only costs $2,500–$6,000 ($20–$35/sqft for the apron section). It's the most popular mid-tier upgrade, combining an asphalt driveway with a paver entry section.
