How Much Do Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks Cost in Broadview Park, FL?
Paver patio installation in Broadview Park typically runs $3,500-$11,000, with walkways and pool decks falling in similar ranges depending on square footage and prep work. Most projects take 5-10 business days from permit approval to final compaction, though Broward County’s unincorporated permitting process can add 2-4 weeks upfront. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll walk your property, check drainage, and give you a written estimate with line-item pricing.
Groundwork Construction Co. handles patios, walkways & pool decks as part of our full hardscaping capability across Broadview Park and surrounding Broward County. We work with Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers, so you’re choosing from proven product lines rather than whatever a subcontractor happens to stock. Our crew also manages Driveway & Pavers in Broadview Park when homeowners want the whole exterior treated as one coordinated project.
How We Build Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks - Start to Finish
We’ve refined this into five distinct stages. Each one has a decision point where your input shapes the final result.
Stage 1: Site evaluation and drainage planning (1-2 days). We measure slopes, locate utilities, and identify where water collects. In Broadview Park, the wet-season water table sits 12-18 inches below grade, so we plan French drains or permeable base layers from the start. You’ll decide whether to keep existing landscaping or regrade for better flow.
Stage 2: Permit pull through Broward County (2-4 weeks). Because Broadview Park is unincorporated, we submit through the county’s ePlan portal, not a city building department. This system differs from Plantation or Lauderhill’s workflows, and we’ve seen out-of-area contractors stumble here. We handle the submittal, revisions, and inspector scheduling. Your only task: sign the homeowner affidavit.
Stage 3: Excavation and base prep (2-3 days). We remove sod, old concrete, or failing pavers to 6-8 inches below finished grade. Given Broadview Park’s flat terrain and high water table, we often pump and dewater trenches before compacting the sub-base in lifts. You’ll choose between standard aggregate base or geogrid reinforcement if soil is particularly saturated.
Stage 4: Paver layout and edge restraint (2-4 days). This is where pattern and color lock in. We dry-lay a section for your approval before setting with polymeric sand. For pool decks, we pitch everything away from the pool shell to prevent chlorine-laden water from undermining the base. You’ll confirm the exact field pattern and any soldier-course borders.
Stage 5: Compaction, sealing, and final inspection (1 day). We vibrate the surface, sweep in joint sand, and apply a breathable sealer if you’ve opted for enhanced color protection. Broward County inspects for proper pitch and edge restraint compliance. We walk the site with you, verify drainage performance, and hand over maintenance guidance.
The Material Choices That Actually Matter for Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks
Most homeowners in Broadview Park narrow to one of these three paths. Each has honest trade-offs:
- Concrete pavers (Belgard, Unilock, Tremron): The standard for good reason. Individual units flex slightly without cracking, and stained or damaged pavers swap out easily. Expect 25-40 year service life with proper base construction. The downside: joint sand requires occasional replenishment, and weed growth between pavers needs annual attention.
- Porcelain pavers (Techo-Bloc, select Unilock lines): Nearly impervious to moisture, salt, and pool chemicals. Thinner profile (3/4 inch vs. 2-3/8 inch for concrete) means less excavation, which matters when you’re working near that high water table. Higher material cost, but lower lifetime maintenance. Best for pool decks where chlorine exposure is constant.
- Natural stone travertine or limestone: Unmatched aesthetic, stays cooler underfoot than concrete in direct sun. Requires more precise base prep and periodic resealing. We source through our stone suppliers in Fort Lauderdale; lead times run 2-3 weeks. Budget 30-50% above equivalent concrete paver coverage.
For edge restraint, we use either aluminum paver edging on straight runs or concrete mow strips where the patio meets lawn. Pool decks almost always get bullnose coping pavers, and we stock matching styles from our paver manufacturers so the transition reads as intentional, not assembled from leftovers.
What Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks Costs in Broadview Park, FL
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Paver patio installation (standard concrete pavers, 200-400 sq ft) | $3,500-$11,000 |
| Walkway (4-6 ft wide, concrete pavers) | $2,500-$7,500 |
| Pool deck resurfacing with pavers (existing concrete demo’d) | $6,000-$14,000 |
| Porcelain paver upgrade | Add 25-35% |
| Natural stone (travertine/limestone) | Add 30-50% |
| Drainage system (French drain, catch basins) | $1,200-$3,500 |
| Retaining wall or raised planter integration | $2,000-$6,000 |
Five variables push your number up or down:
- Existing surface condition. Removing cracked concrete pool decking costs more than sod removal for a backyard patio. We encounter original 1960s concrete slabs in Broadview Park that are 6+ inches thick with embedded rebar.
- Drainage complexity. Flat lots with poor percolation need more intensive solutions. We’ve installed perimeter drains on nearly every pool deck project in the 33317 ZIP because of that shallow water table.
- Material grade and origin. Domestic concrete pavers run less than imported porcelain or natural stone. Color-matched coping and specialty textures add premium.
- Access and site constraints. Gates under 4 feet wide, septic tanks, or mature oak root systems we need to preserve all slow work and may require hand-digging sections.
- Permit scope and wind-mitigation triggers. Broadview Park’s pre-1994 CBS homes sometimes require structural evaluation if the patio ties into the home’s envelope or if we’re modifying load paths for covered structures.
Our written estimates include demolition, base materials, pavers, edge restraint, compaction, joint sand, and standard sealer application. They do not include permit fees (typically $200-$500 through Broward County), tree removal, or irrigation relocation. We’ll flag those items during the site visit so there’s no surprise.
Why Broadview Park Homes Change How We Approach This Work
Broadview Park’s housing stock shapes nearly every patios, walkways & pool decks project we take on here. The neighborhood’s 1950s-1970s concrete block ranch homes were built during Broward’s postwar boom, and most still carry original flat or low-slope roofs, single-pane jalousie windows, and concrete slabs poured with minimal reinforcement. When we demo a patio or pool deck, we often find the sub-base was compacted earth with no gravel layer, or drainage that simply dumps against the foundation.
The unincorporated status matters practically. We pull permits through the Broward County Building Division’s ePlan system, not a municipal office. That means digital plan submittals, specific naming conventions for PDFs, and inspector scheduling through a county-wide pool rather than a local contact. Contractors accustomed to Plantation or Lauderhill’s direct building departments miss these workflow differences and end up with re-inspections that cost homeowners weeks. We’ve built our process around county-specific requirements, including the wind-mitigation compliance upgrades that trigger when any structural attachment or covered patio ties into a pre-1994 CBS home.
After Hurricane Andrew, Florida overhauled its building code. Homes in Broadview Park built before that overhaul don’t meet current standards for impact resistance or structural load transfer. A patio cover or pergola attachment often requires engineered drawings showing how loads pass into the existing wall system, and whether that 1960s concrete block can handle it. We coordinate with structural engineers we’ve worked with on other ADU Site Prep & Utilities in Broadview Park projects, so that engineering doesn’t become a separate contractor hunt for you.
Pool decks carry their own local pattern. Many Broadview Park pools were built in the 1970s-1980s with concrete decks that have now spalled and cracked from decades of chlorine exposure and salt air. The pool shell itself is usually sound, but the coping and deck surface need full replacement. We match new paver coping to existing tile lines where possible, and we always verify that the pool’s bond beam can support the additional load of thicker pavers versus the original thin-set concrete.

Frequently Asked - Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks in Broadview Park
Physical construction takes 5-10 business days, but budget 6-10 weeks total including Broward County’s permit review and inspection scheduling. Call (844) 665-0162 and we can check current county turnaround times based on your project scope.
Yes, any hardscape over 120 square feet or attached to the home requires a permit through the Broward County Building Division. Pool decks always require permits due to bonding and barrier requirements. We handle the ePlan submittal and coordinate inspections.
Sometimes, but we rarely recommend it in Broadview Park. The original 1960s-1980s concrete is often cracked, poorly pitched, or too thin to support the additional load without transferring stress to the new surface. Proper demo and base construction prevents callbacks.
Concrete pavers cost less upfront and offer easier spot repairs, but they’re more porous and can fade or spall from chlorine exposure over 10-15 years. Porcelain pavers resist chemicals and moisture almost entirely, stay cleaner, and require less maintenance, but cost 25-35% more and need precise installation. We stock both through our Driveway & Pavers supply relationships.
We warranty our installation workmanship for two years, including base settlement and joint integrity. Manufacturer material warranties vary by product line, typically 25 years to lifetime for structural integrity of concrete pavers. Natural stone carries no manufacturer warranty, but we source only first-quality material. Full terms are included in every written proposal.
