Paving stones for your driveway, pool deck, fire pit, or backyard patio are a beautiful addition to any residential property and can lead to an increase in the value of your home!

Versatile in design, color, and style, paving stones can section off parts of your yard, extend a patio, or enhance curb appeal, creating a beautiful outdoor aesthetic. Whether you live in Boston, Cape Cod, or Braintree, pavers can take your home from drab to fab in just a few short weeks!

What Are Paving Stones?

Paving stones, generally made of a material such as brick, concrete, granite, or stone, are material used at residential properties and commercial properties to enhance the landscape design.

Paving stones for backyard spaces, driveways, or pool decks are common due to their durability, sustainability, longevity, and ability to repel elements such as water, preventing long-term damage to your landscape design. Many pavers are stain-resistant as well!

How Much Do Paving Stones Cost?

While the initial investment that comes with installing paving stones into your residential landscape can be off-putting to some homeowners, the payoff in the long-run could mean selling your home for far more than it was worth when you purchased your home.

The cost of paving stones may vary depending on the scope of the project, though most range between $10 – $17 per square foot to install.

While the initial investment is undeniable, pavers offer an upscale aesthetic, in addition to a driveway or backyard that is more sustainable and less likely to succumb to damage caused by elements like water or fire.

Will Paving Stones Increase the Value of My Home?

Yes and no, depending on where you live and what the real estate market looks like in your area.

The value paving stones bring to your home isn’t because of the material itself, but the ambiance and aesthetic they offer. Investing in pavers may appeal to home buyers who value sustainability or an upscale aesthetic, meaning you can list your home at a higher value, or may even receive offers from buyers over market value!

Whether you live in Boston, the South Shore, or Cape Cod, paving stones may be just what you need to enhance the aesthetic of your outdoor living space while simultaneously increasing the value of your home!
