Default advice for pavers for driveway.

After looking at some neighbors who have had pavers installed on their driveway, does anyone have a recommendation of a contractor?

I'd ask your neighbors if they were happy with their contractors if you like the way they turned out. Do a search here, lots of info. and opinions out there.

We just had our driveway and front done, in fact, our walled in patio out front is still being completed. After a lot of research, we went with Villages Palms. We are happy with it. If you P.M. me, I can let you know our address if you have any questions or would like to stop by and see the work. Now that we have had it done, we see the care they are using when we compare it to other driveways. The cuts on the angles are beautifully done.

Be sure to get pavers that are thick enough. I am not sure but probably 2 inches.

You will want to use thick pavers and ones with a high amount of cement in them. We had our driveway done in 2005 with Old World Pavers (now out of business) and many are cracking. They used one inch pavers through a place called Hansen here in Florida. We would love to find some matching pavers to make repairs.
