If you’re planning to replace your driveway or install one for a new home, you may want to consider something beyond traditional asphalt. In fact, there are quite a few benefits to switching to a cobblestone surface. Consider five of the advantages of cobblestone below so you can decide if this is the right choice for your home.

Why Should You Install a Cobblestone Driveway?

1. Boost Curb Appeal

Stone pavers can help you enhance the exterior look of your home. Buyers show more interest in homes that have unique exterior features, so adding this type of driveway with the help of your driveway paving contractor may even help you boost the value of your home. You’ll also find that your guests compliment you on the unique look of your driveway.

2. Choose a Style to Compliment Your Home 

CobblestoneThere are countless styles and colors to choose from when selecting the stones used to make your driveway. Your options range from traditional European cobblestone to more modern variants. Choose striking reds to outline the borders of your driveway, or opt for muted tones to create an aged, mottled look. Having so many choices open to you lets you explore your own sense of style, ensuring a final look that suits your own personality.

3. Enjoy a More Durable Driveway

Using stone pavers to build your driveway will also help ensure it will last for several years into the future. Stones are durable and can withstand the weight of large vehicles. The stones will last for years without chipping or cracking, so you can rest easy knowing this is an investment that will pay off for a long time to come.

4. Keep Your Driveway Stain-Free

Gas and oil spills can discolor a driveway, and your tires can also leave unsightly skid marks on the surface. Thankfully, cobblestones are blemish-resistant. If you do observe a spill or stain, you can eliminate it by hosing down the stone surface. 

5. Enjoy Easier Repairs

If a portion of your cobblestone driveway becomes damaged, you'll only need patch repairs rather than full replacement.  It's easy to find pavers that match the texture and color of the surrounding materials. Replacing the damaged stone is cost-effective and fast.
