"If you mean natural stone? Then it’s easier to install block pavers . Natural stone is a lot harder to work with, it isn’t uniform so there for requires more time which reflects in quotes

Pavers are man-made paving stones made to imitate the look of natural stone. Because they are manufactured instead of quarried, there is a greater uniformity of size, texture and color. This makes them somewhat faster and easier to install, as contractors can get in a rhythm when working with uniform materials."

"If you look for a low price the best for your driveway is block paving because is cheaper and it looks good as well.
Anyway both block and stone are suitable for a driveway but the prices may be higher for stone porcelain etc."

"Stone is stronger and doesn't fade, where as normal block paving does and is also the cheaper option!"

"I think block paving is a lot better it stays a lot tighter I think and less of trip hazards as stone is more prone to sink faster and I think paving is a lot better to deal with wet conditions as you can work your levels a lot more efficiently than stone as stone can vary due to different size stones"
