Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Wellington’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve worked on driveways and hardscapes throughout Wellington, from the equestrian estates near the International Polo Club Palm Beach to the family homes in Sugar Pond Manor and Berkshire Park. Our crews understand the local conditions that destroy driveways here: the saturated soils, the seasonal downpours, and the original concrete poured decades ago that’s now spalled and settled.
We respond to Wellington inquiries within one business day, and most estimates are scheduled within 48 hours. Because we’re based in Fort Lauderdale and travel the full South Florida region, we’re not learning your area on the job. We know Okeechobee Boulevard traffic patterns, we know which Wellington subdivisions have the oldest original driveways, and we know how to get permits through Palm Beach County Building without unnecessary delays.
Raymond Estevez, who leads Groundwork Construction Co., has built our reputation on being the single-source contractor Wellington homeowners call when they want one accountable team handling their driveway alongside any other exterior or interior work. You choose the brand, we handle the build.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Wellington
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are our most requested hardscape upgrade in Wellington, and for good reason. The interlocking system handles ground movement better than monolithic concrete, which matters on lots where the high water table causes seasonal heaving. We source premium pavers from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc, giving Wellington homeowners genuine choice across price tiers and aesthetic styles. Our paver driveway installations in Wellington run $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, pattern complexity, and base preparation needs.
We recently repaved a paver driveway and walkway at a home in Sugar Pond Manor, replacing sunken concrete with interlocking pavers that handle the high water table. Our crew installed a permeable base to meet Palm Beach County drainage codes, giving the homeowners a crack-free surface that lasts through the seasonal rains.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete remains a practical choice for Wellington homeowners who want clean, durable surfaces at moderate cost. New concrete driveway installation in Wellington costs $4,500-$12,000, with pricing driven by removal of old material, base stabilization, and finish type. We also pour reinforced slabs for specialized applications. The Aero Club community, Wellington’s fly-in residential enclave where homes include private aircraft hangars, requires exactly this kind of work: reinforced apron slabs and paver systems engineered to handle aircraft weights, with permitting coordination through Palm Beach County Building and zoning rules specific to private airstrip-adjacent parcels. No contractor in Royal Palm Beach or Greenacres faces this challenge.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway paving in Wellington costs $3,500-$9,000 for new installation. We see fewer asphalt requests here than in inland markets, partly because Wellington’s sun exposure and seasonal flooding accelerate deterioration, and partly because the aesthetic doesn’t match the equestrian-estate character many homeowners want. When we do install or resurface asphalt in Wellington, we specify thicker base courses and premium sealers to combat the climate stress.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Wellington runs $5,000-$14,000, with the wide range reflecting material choice and site conditions. Many Wellington homes built from the late 1970s through the 1990s have original driveways that are simply past service life. The concrete has spalled from decades of moisture wicking up through the slab. Paver edges have failed where restraints weren’t properly installed. We assess whether partial repair or full replacement is the smarter investment, and we don’t push replacement when targeted repair will buy you five to ten more years.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Spalled and settled original concrete. Driveway concrete poured in the 1980s across Wellington subdivisions like Berkshire Park has deteriorated from the bottom up. The high water table wicks moisture through the slab, causing surface spalling and settlement cracks that create trip hazards and direct rainwater toward foundations.
- Failed paver edge restraints. Paver driveways in older Wellington neighborhoods often were installed without proper edge restraint systems or with plastic edging that has degraded in the sun. After heavy rains, pavers shift and spread, creating gaps and uneven surfaces that worsen with each storm season.
- Brittle, alligatored asphalt. Asphalt driveways from the 1990s in communities like Lakefield West have become brittle from decades of intense sun exposure and periodic flooding. The surface cracks into a pattern called alligatoring, which allows water infiltration and accelerates base failure.
- Poor drainage on flat lots. Wellington’s master-planned communities were built on flat former Everglades wetlands with minimal natural grade. Many original driveways were poured without adequate slope or drainage integration, so water pools and accelerates material failure. Our replacements always address this with proper pitch and, where needed, permeable base systems that comply with current Palm Beach County drainage requirements.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Wellington
Wellington’s high seasonal water table and flat topography are the primary culprits. Moisture wicks upward through the soil beneath your slab, weakening the base and causing the concrete to settle unevenly. Our replacements include proper base compaction, drainage planning, and where appropriate, permeable systems that comply with Palm Beach County codes. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll assess whether your driveway needs repair or full replacement.
Sometimes, but only if the existing concrete is structurally sound with minimal cracking or settlement. In Wellington, we rarely recommend this because original 1980s and 1990s concrete is usually too deteriorated underneath to provide a stable base. We typically remove the old material, address drainage, and install a proper paver base. We’ll give you an honest assessment during your free estimate.
Interlocking pavers generally perform best in Wellington’s saturated soils because the jointed system accommodates ground movement better than monolithic concrete. Permeable paver installations with open-graded bases also help manage the water that would otherwise pool beneath or around your driveway. We source these systems from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc.
Yes, driveway replacement in Wellington requires a permit from Palm Beach County Building, and any work that changes drainage patterns may need additional county review. Post-Hurricane Andrew building codes also affect projects that tie into your home’s structure or impact-resistant requirements. We handle permit submission and inspection scheduling as part of our project management.
A typical paver driveway installation in Wellington runs $7,000-$18,000, with most residential projects falling in the $9,000-$14,000 range for standard two-car driveways using quality mid-tier pavers. Size, pattern complexity, base preparation needs, and paver brand selection all move the number. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact quote on your specific project - estimates are free.
