Stamped concrete or real stone pavers in driveway?

i currently have an asphalt driveway that i may reseal. I know having someone put in stone pavers is expensive unless i try to do it myself but i don't know how hard it is?

how is stamped concrete? does it hold up better than stone pavers? is it less expensive?

i know you can have tons of patterns and color with concrete now a days. which would you choose, concrete or pavers? how do they both compare cost wise? the size of my driveway is 20x28.

Well this will be your 5th closed thread, but before it gets closed,

Stamped concrete can and will crack, pavers wil not.

You probably are not qualified to do either.

You should try posting on the DIY site.
