It's time consuming and obviously involves some heavy lifting, but it's not a hard job to do yourself at all.

I just had my driveway done by ATLAS.

[EDIT: SNIP]



Read my review of Atlas in Deer Park on Yelp if you want.

We paid somewhere around 3k for a belgium block apron (6+ years ago.) I'm not sure of the exact dimensions though. I think it's around 18' wide by 5-6'.

Ours are mortared in and there's never been an issue with moss.

I think you're confusing moss with algae on the stones. That's different. Who has ever slipped on moss? Its like a carpet.

Somewhat related note....with all the rain in May, I had so much weed crap growing in between spots...very annoying. Any harsh chemicals people recc.?

Rule of thumb for this job to be done by a professional company..it would cost you around $ 35-40 sqf or double around you would pay for just the stones. Common and a lot cheaper down here by me.. some love it, some don't but beware of the weeds and you should power wash them probably twice a year

I bet these 4X4X4 square blocks are used a lot. A cement cube. lol.

We did this with a macadam driveway (oil and stone) our driveway is wider and shorter than shown. We have the Belgium block apron with 18" deep cement base (the company only does 18") we paid 7k. The longer the apron, the higher the cost obviously. We have zero weed issues for the base. 5 year old driveway.
