Andover’s position in ZIP 33023 puts it squarely in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the ground sits just 2-5 feet above the water table and seasonal rains hit hard from June through October. That combination destroys driveways that weren’t built with proper drainage and base prep. We’ve replaced enough sunken, cracked, and water-damaged driveways in this neighborhood to know what fails - and what lasts.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Andover’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We don’t subcontract our hardscape work to random paver crews. Our Driveway & Pavers team is in-house, trained on the same material standards we apply to kitchen remodels and roofing jobs. That matters in Andover, where a driveway isn’t just decorative - it’s part of your home’s drainage defense against 60+ inches of annual rainfall.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve real material choice, not whatever’s in the contractor’s yard. In Andover, that means you pick from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, or Techo-Bloc pavers - or we pour concrete rated for South Florida’s conditions - and we engineer the base and drainage to match. One contractor, every phase. You choose the brand, we handle the build.
Our response time to Andover is typically same-day or next-day for estimates. We’re based in Fort Lauderdale, so we’re not driving down from Palm Beach or across from Naples. We know the local permit office, the inspectors who check HVHZ compliance, and the soil conditions that determine whether your driveway lasts ten years or two.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Andover
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Andover start at $7,000 and run to $18,000 for larger or more complex layouts. We install Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc products - each carries Florida Product Approval for HVHZ wind-driven rain exposure, which inspectors in Broward County will verify on site. The real work happens below the pavers: we excavate 10-12 inches, lay a compacted limestone aggregate base with proper slope, and install drainage to handle that shallow water table. In Andover, skipping the drainage layer means your pavers will shift after the second wet season. We’ve seen it.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Andover ranges from $4,500 to $12,000. The 1950s-1970s CBS homes in this area often have original concrete that’s cracked from expansive clay soils and decades of rain penetration. We don’t pour over the old slab. We remove it, address the subgrade, install a moisture barrier where needed, and pour new concrete with reinforcement and control joints placed for South Florida’s climate. Our concrete work meets Broward’s HVHZ requirements for structural integrity - not all concrete contractors understand that standard.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway paving in Andover runs $3,500-$9,000 for new installation. Asphalt works well for budget-conscious homeowners, but it’s less common in this ZIP because the intense wet-season rains and high water table accelerate deterioration if drainage is poor. When we do install asphalt in Andover, we build the same deep aggregate base we use for pavers and ensure positive drainage away from the home’s slab foundation. Resurfacing existing asphalt is sometimes viable, but only after we verify the base hasn’t been compromised by standing water.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Andover costs $5,000-$14,000 depending on size, material, and what we find underneath. Many Andover homes have driveways that were poured or paved decades ago without modern drainage - they channel water toward the foundation, not away from it. In a 1960s CBS home off Pembroke Road, our crew replaced a sinking concrete driveway that had channeled water toward the slab foundation. We excavated 12 inches, installed a compacted limestone base with a French drain to manage the shallow water table, and finished with concrete that meets Broward’s HVHZ wind-driven rain requirements for structural integrity. That’s the standard we bring to every Andover replacement.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Andover Homes
- Paver sand erodes during wet-season downpours, causing uneven surfaces and trip hazards. Andover’s 60-65 inches of annual rain, concentrated in summer storms, washes out joint sand unless polymeric stabilizers and proper edge restraints are installed. We see this every July and August on driveways that were installed without these details.
- Concrete driveways crack because they’re poured directly over the area’s expansive soils without proper moisture barriers. The clay-heavy soils in 33023 swell and contract with moisture changes. Old driveways in Andover were often poured with minimal or no subgrade prep. New concrete needs a compacted base, moisture barrier, and control joints spaced correctly - or it will crack within two years.
- Old paver substrates from the 1950s-70s lack drainage layers, leading to standing water that seeps under the house slab. Many Andover homes still have original driveways that were built before modern drainage standards. Water pooling against the foundation isn’t just a driveway problem - it can undermine the slab and create interior moisture issues.
- Shallow water table pushes pavers upward during the wet season, creating an uneven, wavy surface. At just 2-5 feet below grade across much of Andover, the water table rises dramatically during summer rains. Without deep aggregate base and French drain or daylight drainage, hydrostatic pressure literally lifts pavers from below. This is why cheap paver jobs in this ZIP fail fast.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Andover, FL

If we pull out your old driveway and find saturated, unstable soil or a failed base, we fix it. That costs more upfront than paving over the problem, but it means your driveway stays flat and functional through a decade of wet seasons. We quote this work upfront, not as a surprise mid-project.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Andover
Your pavers shift because water is getting underneath the base and creating hydrostatic pressure or washing out joint sand. In Andover’s 33023 ZIP, the water table sits just 2-5 feet below grade, and summer downpours saturate the ground quickly. Without a deep, compacted aggregate base, proper drainage, and edge restraints, pavers will lift and settle unevenly every year. We fix this by excavating to proper depth, installing drainage, and using polymeric sand that locks joints against washout. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll assess whether your base can be salvaged or needs full reconstruction.
Yes, Broward County requires a permit for driveway replacement or new paver installation in Andover’s 33023 ZIP, and the work must comply with HVHZ product-approval standards. That means your pavers, base materials, and any structural concrete must carry Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA numbers that inspectors verify on site. We pull permits as part of our standard process and specify only approved materials - out-of-county crews often get caught with non-HVHZ products that fail inspection. The permit process typically adds 5-10 business days before work begins.
Usually no - and we don’t recommend it. Most existing paver bases in Andover’s 1950s-1970s homes were installed without modern drainage layers or adequate depth for the area’s water table. Reusing a failed base means your new pavers will shift just like the old ones. We excavate and rebuild the base properly, with compacted limestone, proper slope, and drainage. The only exception is a relatively recent installation (under 5 years) where we can verify base integrity through test pits. We’ll tell you honestly after inspection - call (844) 665-0162 to schedule.
Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc all manufacture pavers with Florida Product Approval for HVHZ exposure, and we install all four in Andover. The “best” choice depends on your priorities: permeable pavers reduce runoff but cost more; traditional interlocking concrete pavers with tight joints and proper slope handle wind-driven rain well at lower cost. The material matters less than the installation - slope, drainage, and edge restraint determine whether your driveway survives a tropical storm intact. We match the product to your budget and performance needs during the estimate.
We can typically inspect storm-damaged driveways in Andover within 24-48 hours of contact, and begin replacement work within 1-2 weeks if permits are straightforward. Post-storm demand spikes, but our local Fort Lauderdale base keeps response times shorter than contractors driving in from outside South Broward. We’ll tarp and secure the area immediately if needed, then move to permanent repair. For emergency stabilization, call (844) 665-0162 - we’ll prioritize Andover properties in our service zone.
