Check out your "contractor" (I use that term loosely as they are not required to be licensed contractors) carefully through the BBB and Seniors Vs Crime. Make sure you get references and check out the references. Carefully ensure that the selected contractor has liability insurance for his/her workers. Your best reference will be comments from others who have used his/her services. You can post here and ask if anyone has any experience with "XYZ Driveway Pavers" once you decide on one or two "finalists" for your driveway job.
If that don't inspire you to stay with you plane ole concrete driveway, nothing will. But, you can't be too safe.

I used Old World Pavers to cover my drive/walkway with decorative pavers and enclose our lanai with acylic windows and have been very pleased with the price and their professionalism.
