FAQs About Driveway Pavers

How long do driveway pavers last compared to concrete?

With proper installation and care, De Terra natural stone driveway pavers can last decades—often 3–4 times longer than poured concrete. Their strength and flexibility help prevent cracking, so your driveway keeps its beauty and function year after year.

What paver size is best for driveways?

Most concrete driveway pavers are about 2 ⅜" thick and have an average strength of 8,000 PSI. De Terra driveway pavers are only 1 ¼" thick but test at nearly 15,000 PSI—almost double the strength. They’re easier to handle, install, and maintain, while the 3-piece pattern spreads weight evenly to keep your driveway looking great for years.

Can I drive on De Terra pavers right after installation?

Yes. Once installed and compacted, stone driveway pavers are ready for use immediately—no curing time required like with concrete.

Are De Terra pavers easier to repair than concrete?

Yes. If a paver is damaged, you can simply lift and replace it without disturbing the rest of the driveway. With concrete, repairs often leave visible patches.

How do De Terra pavers handle freezing and hot weather?

Our dense sandstone and limestone pavers are designed for all climates. They resist freeze-thaw damage, won’t spall, and retain their color even in harsh sun.

Are they slip-resistant?

Yes. The tumbled edge and textured surface of De Terra provide extra traction, making them a safe choice for driveways, patios, and pool decks.

Can I install De Terra myself?

If you’ve installed concrete pavers before, you can install De Terra. The process is the same: prepare the base, add bedding sand, lay the pattern, compact, and joint. For large driveways, hiring a pro can save time and ensure top results.

Are stone driveway pavers more expensive than concrete?

Generally yes but moderately. Natural stone like De Terra is a premium option, often costing more upfront than concrete. But homeowners gain superior durability, color integrity, ease of repair, longevity and design choice—all adding lifetime value
