Paver demolition cost:

Demolition of sand based pavers ranges from $3 to $7 per square foot.
Demolition of mortar based pavers ranges from $5 to $11 per square foot.

Alternative methods to consider:

Mortar based patio pavers. If you have an existing concrete patio and are considering using a mortar based paver rather than a sand based paver, this may increase or decrease the cost of installing patio pavers by $2 to $3 per square foot, depending on the conditions.
Concrete slab bases. If you want a patio that can carry a heavy load (or one that will likely hold up better over a long period of time) consider installing a concrete slab. Pavers would then be either sand or mortar set on top of the 4-inch to 5-inch concrete slab. This alternative increases the overall cost by $3 to $9 per square foot.
