Is it possible or cost effective to use patio stones for a driveway?

Define cost effective.

If you are paying someone to do the work, it will be costly, but the
results are very long lasting. If you do it yourself, it is a lot of
hard work, but it is still very long lasting, but a lot cheaper.

It is also IMO much better looking.

One large advantage is that you can make adjustments and repairs. If
some pavers move or sink, they can be rest without changing the whole
drive and it still looks great.

BTW the above all assumes that you are not using cement under or
between the pavers and you are using sand. Cement eliminates most of
the advantages.

Dia duit

What I meant by cost affective was...
compared to having an asphalt or cement drive.

We are 63 years old. My hubby said its too much work and I can't help.
So I'm trying to find a cost efficient (cheap) way to finish the drive.
