How much do you like weeding?! Around here, all the paver driveways end up with weed issues. The ones with block edging look good as long as the homeowner weeds between them.... We just have asphalt with a ‘French curve’ concrete edging - and even that eventually got a few weeds in the crack between the concrete and the asphalt and in the expansion cuts in the concrete edge. But it has lasted 20 years with a manageable level of weeding. The asphalt will be replaced later this month.

Thank you woodyoak.

Consider clearing snow if applicable, and amount of local moisture. Somewhere like dry parts of California do better with a paver drive than my part of New England which has freeze-thaw cycles and ample moisture to help weeds thrive in the cracks. And the smooth surface and dark color of asphalt are easier to clear of snow.
