What moves the price

Paver type and installation — Interlocking units, mortared pavers, edge restraints, and heavily compacted bedding require different removal effort.
Access and handling — Narrow gates, stairs, occupied yards, and long hauling distances increase manual labor.
Disposal requirements — Debris weight, trucking, dump fees, and sorting reusable material affect removal cost.
Area and layout — Larger open areas are generally more efficient to remove than small or irregular sections with many edges.
