Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Belgard paver driveway cost per square foot in San Diego in 2026?
In 2026, a vehicular Belgard interlocking stone paver driveway in San Diego costs $21 to $28 per square foot for standard modular pavers (Belgard Holland Stone, Catalina Grana, or Origins) over a 6-to-8-inch compacted Class II road base, or $25 to $33.50 per square foot turnkey when including mechanical demolition and haul-away of an existing concrete driveway.
Why do some San Diego paver driveway quotes come in at $14/sq ft while others are $26/sq ft?
Lowball $14–$16/sq ft driveway quotes almost always cut corners on excavation depth—laying thin 40mm patio pavers over just 2 inches of uncompacted sand or recycled concrete dust without geotextile fabric or a concrete bond beam. Under a 5,500-lb SUV, a 2-inch base ruts and sinks within 12 months. A true ICPI vehicular driveway requires 6 to 8 inches of compacted Class II road base and 60mm–80mm pavers.
Which Belgard pavers are rated for residential driveways in San Diego?
Belgard's top vehicular-rated interlocking pavers in San Diego include Holland Stone (60mm/80mm in herringbone pattern), Catalina Grana (60mm 3-piece modular), Origins, Dublin Cobble, Belgian Cobble, Victorian Cobble, and Aqua-Bric permeable pavers.
