How Much Does Belgian Block Driveway Edging Cost?

Belgian block — cut granite blocks — is the classic Boston-area driveway edge. It protects asphalt edges and looks sharp for decades.

Cost per linear foot

  • Single row set in concrete: $35 – $55
  • Double row: $55 – $85
  • Apron (per square foot): $45 – $75

Installation

Blocks should be set in concrete, not just soil, so plows don't dislodge them.

Belgian block vs. cobblestone

Belgian block is rectangular cut stone; cobblestone is typically rounder and more irregular.
