Default Concrete or Pavers

Suppose this could be in the masonry forum, but I'll try here first.

Anyway, we're going to replace our front sidewalk that runs from the driveway to the front door. I'm looking for an approx cost per square foot for complete installation of the sidewalk. A rough estimate would be about 120 sqft. Any other considerations or advice would be welcomed as well.

We like the look of pavers, but I would think the cost would be much higher than concrete because of the labor involved. Thanks!

I like pavers myself. You can always take pavers up and do what ever with them but cement is one time deal.

For pavers, it is a DIY project, you can do it at your own pace and the labor is free!!
