Essentially what you are going to find is that pavers are either 30 mm or 60 mm thick and they probably come from Flagstone. There is a small cost difference between the 30 mm and 60 mm but there is more labor to install the 60 mm. Typically, the concrete will be removed in front of your garage to install 60 mm pavers but not 30 mm pavers. Typically, both require concrete to be removed by the street. I have seen jobs with 30 mm pavers that looked pretty good. If you talk to Flagstone, they will tell you they don't recommend 30 mm pavers for driveways. The 60 mm pavers are less likely to crack but that doesn't mean a well done job with 30 mm pavers can't turn out perfectly well. I recommend you get a couple of estimates and look at their work. Good luck with your project - I think pavers look great.
