I have been thinking of replacing my old and deteriated asphalt driveway a section at a time with pavers on top of crusher run and sand. Maybe just starting with an apron in front of my garage and see how that goes. My question is, do these pavers last longer than asphalt? Do they require less maintenance? I live in southern Kentucky, and we do get cold weather but not like I would imagine you guys up north do.

Looking for something that looks good and is as maintenance free as possible. I thought about concrete, but my wife is against it. She says it gets dirty and is prone to staining. I know pavers can stain but I would think they would be more easily replaceable than concrete obviously.

Thanks,
They will outlast asphalt for sure - likely 2-1 at a minimum. If the
driveway settles, pull them up, add some sand, and re-lay.
I've re-layed mine once already in 30 years.

Maintenance wize, fill the gaps with poly-sand and seal them with
clear acrylic sealer every few years to keep them looking good and
keep the weeds from growing i n the cracks.

Keep a dozen or so spare bricks so if you bust one you can pull it out
and replace it with a new one. (I broke one with a jack-stand leg).
