Default Driveway Pavers

I'm thinking of doing my driveway in pavers but I'm confused as to whether I need thin pavers or the thicker ones. I'm getting conflicting info from the three contractors I got bids from. Some say thinner pavers are sufficient and some say they will do nothing but the thick ones. Help!

There are lots of past threads on pavers, paver contractors, maintenance and annual sealing associated therewith, etc. Just do a topic search.

IMHO if you have to have pavers, thick is the only way to go. Pavers on concrete is not a good application in the first place, using thin only makes matters worse! Cracking, shifting, chipping, etc, etc.

thin are fine, cost less too, but not installed with the "thin set" mortar.

Then they'll crack

Use a masonry adhesive, simple install
