These photos give homeowners a quick look at the kind of finished driveway surface, border detail, and curb appeal a properly planned paver driveway can bring to a property.
Base First
The surface only performs as well as the stone base, compaction, and edge restraint below it.
Water Planned
We look at slope, runoff, low spots, and garage transitions before recommending a layout.
Finish Matters
Patterns, borders, and color choices should work with the home instead of fighting it.
Paver driveway installation Hampton Roads homeowners can trust starts with proper base prep, clean grading, and a drainage plan that fits the property. B&B Decks and More installs paver driveways for homeowners who want a cleaner entrance, better curb appeal, and a driveway built correctly from the start. A paver driveway can look more finished than plain gravel and more custom than a standard concrete slab, but the long-term result depends on what happens under the surface. The base, grading, edge restraint, drainage plan, and compaction matter just as much as the pavers you see from the street.
If you are comparing gravel, concrete, and paver driveway options, we can help you think through the full job instead of just the surface material. That includes access, slope, water flow, driveway width, parking needs, and how the driveway connects to walkways, garages, patios, or outdoor living areas.
Paver Driveway Installation for Coastal Virginia Homes
Driveways in Hampton Roads deal with soft soils, heavy rain, summer heat, tree roots, salt air, and low-lying yards. A paver driveway needs a stable base that can carry vehicles without shifting, settling, or holding water in the wrong place. We look at the site before recommending a layout or material because a driveway that looks good on day one still needs to drain and stay usable after a storm.
For many properties, the right plan includes excavation, compacted stone base, bedding sand, edge restraints, polymeric sand, and a pitch that moves water away from the house, garage, and low spots in the yard. On some sites, a permeable paver driveway may also be worth discussing because it can help manage runoff when the soil and layout support it.
When Pavers Make Sense for a Driveway
- You want a more finished look than gravel without choosing a plain concrete slab.
- Your driveway connects to a patio, walkway, garage, or outdoor living area and needs to look intentional.
- You want individual pavers that can be lifted and reset if a section ever needs service.
- You have drainage or slope concerns that need to be handled before the surface goes down.
- You want curb appeal that fits a coastal Virginia home.
Paver Driveway Cost Factors
The cost of a paver driveway depends on more than square footage. The biggest cost drivers are excavation depth, base material, grading, drainage work, paver selection, driveway shape, border details, and site access. A straight driveway with good access is usually simpler than a wide parking pad, curved entrance, or driveway tied into retaining walls, steps, or walkways.
We do not like giving one-size-fits-all pricing because the base prep changes from property to property. The better move is to look at the site, talk through how the driveway will be used, and price the work around a driveway that will hold up instead of chasing the cheapest surface number.
Concrete Pavers, Brick Pavers, and Permeable Options
Most driveway paver projects use concrete pavers because they offer strength, consistent sizing, and a wide range of colors and patterns. Brick pavers can give a classic look, especially around older homes, but the material and installation details need to match the driveway use. Permeable pavers may be a fit when water management is a priority and the base system is designed correctly.
The best choice depends on the home, the driveway grade, how much vehicle traffic the area gets, and how much maintenance you want to take on. We can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.

Paver Driveway FAQs
Is a paver driveway better than concrete?
It depends on the home and the budget. Pavers usually offer a more custom look and can be easier to repair in sections. Concrete can be simpler and cleaner for some properties. The base, drainage, and installation quality matter either way.
Can pavers handle vehicle traffic?
Yes, when the right pavers are used and the base is prepared correctly. A driveway installation needs more base strength than a light-use walkway or patio.
Do paver driveways help with drainage?
They can, but only when the driveway is designed for the site. Pitch, base material, edge details, and sometimes permeable pavers all play a role. We look at where the water is going before recommending a driveway plan.
Do you also install gravel driveways?
Yes. If pavers are not the right fit for the budget or property, B&B also handles gravel driveway grading, repair, and installation in Hampton Roads.
