Belgard Construction in Hollywood, FL | Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida
We provide independent Belgard paver and hardscape service across Hollywood, from the mainland neighborhoods to the barrier island. The one thing that makes our Belgard work here different: we build for a city that sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where salt air, sandy soil, and HVHZ fastener schedules change how a patio or driveway lives and dies. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Belgard Service
Raymond Estevez grew up in Hialeah watching his uncle gut and rebuild houses block by block, and he’s carried that same hands-on discipline through more than two decades building across Broward and Miami-Dade. When we handle Belgard work in Hollywood, we’re not guessing at what survives here. We’ve seen what salt spray off the Atlantic does to paver joints on South Surf Road. We’ve watched inadequate base prep fail in the sandy soils east of Federal Highway. And we’ve learned that a Belgard installation in Hollywood isn’t about matching a catalog photo, it’s about building something that still looks right after the third tropical storm of the season.
We keep Belgard sales & service as part of our broader hardscape capability alongside Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc. You choose the brand, we handle the build. Our crews stock Holland, Plank, Ridgecrest, and Beacon Hill pavers locally for fast turnaround, and we match OEM replacements rather than forcing you into a close-enough color that screams patch job. One contractor, every phase, from driveway to roofline.
Common Belgard Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Paver surface spalling and color fading on the barrier island. In ZIP 33019, concentrated salt spray and intense UV exposure break down the surface of older Holland and Plank installations faster than you’d see just three miles inland. We see this most on east-facing patios and pool decks where the Atlantic breeze hits hardest.
- Joint sand washout and paver shifting in eastern CBS neighborhoods. The 1950s-1970s concrete block homes in 33020 and 33021 often sit on poorly compacted fill with inadequate drainage. After heavy rains, Belgard pavers without proper edge restraints drift like loose teeth. We reinstall with crushed limestone base and polymeric sand that locks the joints.
- Efflorescence on Holland and Beacon Hill pavers. Hollywood’s humidity stays brutal six months of the year. White mineral deposits bloom across paver surfaces, especially where irrigation overspray keeps the base damp. Specialized cleaning and sealing brings back the original color without acid washing that damages the surface.
- Cracked edges from hurricane debris and tree roots. Older Hollywood yards with mature ficus and live oaks send roots under Belgard walkways. Add a flying branch during a named storm, and you’ve got chipped plank edges. We often do plank-by-plank replacement rather than full reinstallation, matching OEM dimensions so the repair disappears.
- Base erosion from salt-laden groundwater on the island. The barrier island’s high water table and salt intrusion accelerate corrosion of metal edging and wash out poorly graded bases. We spec corrosion-resistant aluminum or concrete edging and engineer drainage that moves water away from the paver bed.
Belgard Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Hollywood is one of the only cities in Broward County where the barrier island sits directly on the Atlantic, and the Intracoastal Waterway separates it from the mainland. Every paver project on the island must account for salt-laden breezes that accelerate base erosion and paver corrosion, plus CCCL permit rules for any work near the coast. Contractors who don’t know this territory show up with standard mainland specs and wonder why their edging rusts out in eighteen months. We don’t make that mistake. Our crew recently replaced a 400-square-foot Holland paver patio on South Surf Road, where salt air had eaten the original sand joints and left the surface uneven. We dug out the old base, installed a new crushed limestone base with proper drainage, and reset the pavers with polymeric sand. The homeowner now has a level patio that can take the island’s wind and salt. Do it right the first time or you’ll do it twice, and the second time always costs more.
Belgard Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We work with the full Belgard residential line most commonly found in South Florida: the Holland Paver Series for traditional brick-look driveways and walkways; the Plank Paver Series for modern linear patios and pool decks; the Ridgecrest Series for textured, slate-look surfaces that hide wear; and the Beacon Hill Series for flagstone-style installations with tighter joints. For replacements, we source Belgard OEM pavers and edging to ensure color and dimension match. We pair them with quality base materials, crushed limestone and polymeric sand from reputable brands. Sometimes a full reinstall is more cost-effective than patching an extensively settled patio, and we’ll tell you straight when that’s the case. Built to spec, not to convenience.

FAQs - Belgard Construction in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood’s native sand drains fast but compacts poorly. We install a minimum 6-inch crushed limestone base, compacted in lifts, with geotextile fabric to prevent migration. Without this, Belgard pavers settle unevenly within two rainy seasons. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll assess your specific soil conditions.
Belgard pavers themselves don’t blow away, they’re too heavy. The failure point is joint sand loss and edge restraint failure, which lets the pattern unravel. We use polymeric sand and concrete or heavy-gauge aluminum edging rated for HVHZ wind loads. Proper base prep matters more than the paver brand.
The Holland Paver Series in the thicker 80mm profile handles vehicular loads best, and its pressed surface resists salt etching better than tumbled products. We also recommend darker colors in the Ridgecrest line, they hide the slight fading that even quality pavers show after years of UV and salt exposure. Call (844) 665-0162 to see samples.
Uneven fading usually means uneven moisture exposure, irrigation overspray on one side, pooling on another, or partial shade from a tree canopy. In Hollywood’s climate, efflorescence and organic staining compound the problem. Professional cleaning and a quality sealer restore appearance and slow future degradation.
Generally no for a ground-level residential patio under 120 square feet, but yes for raised installations, retaining walls over 4 feet, or any work within the Coastal Construction Control Line on the barrier island. We handle permit research as part of our project planning. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify requirements for your specific property.
