Default Excellent information here!

There is excellent information in the answers to this post. After 15 years we had used all the “spares” provided in the original installation of thin pavers, and probably a dozen more were cracked. The original colors were not available, but I had not yet begun to make calls on what to do. I had no idea that there were thick and thin pavers, and the certainty that over time the thin ones I had installed would crack.

The answers to this post provides excellent—although probably expensive—information. I suppose the only way to look at the problem is, if you didn’t have the original concrete driveway broken up, removed and replaced with thick pavers on a sand base, you’d be left just amortizing the original cost of the thin pavers and deciding how much you’d have to spend to “re-do” your driveway.
