Concrete is cheaper up front, faster to install, and looks clean in modern designs. Pavers cost more but won't crack, are repairable one stone at a time, and add more resale value.

For a typical 600 sq ft driveway: concrete runs $7,000–$12,000, pavers $14,000–$22,000.

Pick concrete if: budget is tight, you want a smooth surface, or you like a minimalist look.

Pick pavers if: you want curb appeal, hate cracks, or plan to stay in the home long-term.
