The main cost components are the bricks themselves (about $0.75 each for a mid-range paver), a compacted gravel base and bedding sand (about $2.00 per square foot), edge restraint around the perimeter (about $2.00 per linear foot), and installation labor (about $8.00 per square foot). Site prep, drainage, brick choice, and layout complexity can move the final price up or down.
