Brick, Concrete and Stone Paver Walks for Oxford Homes

Brick Pavers

Clay brick pavers are fired in a kiln, so their color runs all the way through and does not fade in the Mississippi sun. They suit traditional and historic-style homes, and patterns like herringbone and basket-weave look right at home in front of older Oxford houses. Brick costs a bit more than concrete pavers and comes in a narrower range of shapes.

Concrete Pavers

Concrete pavers are the most versatile option: dozens of colors, textures, sizes and edge styles, including large-format slabs and tumbled finishes that mimic old cobblestone. They are dense and strong, and many lines are designed to interlock for added stability. They are usually the most cost-effective paver choice.

Natural Stone Pavers

Cut bluestone, travertine and granite pavers combine the regular shape of a paver with the character of real stone. They stay cooler underfoot than dark concrete in summer and deliver a high-end look. Natural stone pavers cost the most of the three and some varieties benefit from sealing.

What a Paver Walkway Typically Costs

For a typical residential walkway, homeowners often see totals between about $1,000 and $3,500. Smaller garden paths come in under that; long entry walks with steps, borders or premium stone can exceed it. Size, paver type, pattern complexity and site conditions are the main drivers, and our estimates are free. Still deciding on material? Compare all walkway types side by side.

Built to Handle Rain, Heat and Clay Soil

Pavers stay flat only when the base beneath them is solid. We excavate, compact a crushed-stone base, screed a bedding layer, and lock the edges with edge restraints so the field cannot creep. Joints are filled with polymeric sand that hardens to resist washout and weeds. We slope every walk to drain, an important detail in a state that sees frequent heavy rain. For larger paved areas, ask about permeable paver systems.
