Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Davie’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve worked Davie long enough to know the difference between a standard residential driveway and one that needs to handle a seven-horse trailer. Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that one contractor should handle every phase of a homeowner’s project, and that holds for our exterior work too. Our crews pull permits through both Davie’s Planning and Zoning Division and Broward County Building Division - the dual-permitting sequence that catches out-of-town builders who don’t realize Davie’s equestrian overlay requires separate equestrian-use compatibility sign-off before the county issues a structural permit.
Davie homeowners choose us because we stock materials from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc - paver brands that hold up to the saturated subgrade and heavy loads common here. We don’t push a single vendor. You choose the brand, we handle the build. Our Fort Lauderdale location puts us on Davie job sites quickly, and our familiarity with the 33314 zip and surrounding areas means we spot problems before they become change orders.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Davie
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Davie need more than good looks. The high water table and intense summer thunderstorms wash out sand bedding if the base isn’t engineered properly. We install Belgard and Unilock pavers on a compacted limestone base with geotextile fabric, pitched toward drainage swales or French drains where the groundwater sits shallow. For equestrian properties, we spec thicker pavers and tighter edge restraint to handle the turning stress from heavy trailers. A typical paver driveway installation in Davie runs $7,000-$18,000.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete is the workhorse for Davie’s older CBS homes, many built in the 1960s-1980s with original driveways that lacked proper expansion joints or rebar. The sandy clay subgrade here shifts with seasonal moisture, and without reinforcement, slabs crack and heave. We pour 6-inch reinforced slabs with 4,000 PSI concrete for heavy-use applications, tied into existing paver borders where needed. Standard concrete driveway installation in Davie costs $4,500-$12,000. We also handle concrete aprons, RV pads, and barn approaches that need to survive feed trucks and hay deliveries.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works for budget-conscious Davie homeowners, but it struggles here. The summer heat softens the binder, and heavy equestrian equipment ruts the surface prematurely. We recommend asphalt for light-duty residential use only, and we always evaluate drainage first - water trapped under asphalt accelerates potholing in our climate. Asphalt driveway paving runs $3,500-$9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway in Davie typically costs less than full replacement if the base is still sound.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Repair or replace? That’s the question we answer most often in Davie. Cracked concrete from the 70s usually needs replacement - patching fails when the subgrade keeps moving. Sunken pavers often just need re-bedding and proper drainage correction. We assess the base, the drainage, and the load requirements before recommending anything. Driveway replacement in Davie ranges from $5,000-$14,000 depending on material and square footage. Driveway sealing, which extends asphalt life significantly here, runs $250-$700.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
Groundwork works with 50+ recognized industry brands across every residential construction category, and our hardscape lineup is no exception. For pavers, we stock and install Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc - four manufacturers with distinct color palettes and structural ratings so you’re not locked into whatever the contractor happens to have on the truck. For concrete work, we source from regional suppliers who mix for South Florida’s sulfate-rich soils and high humidity. Our relationships with these brands mean faster material delivery to Davie job sites, which keeps your project on schedule. You choose the brand, we handle the build. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Paver sand bedding washes out during heavy summer thunderstorms. Davie’s high water table and poor drainage on many older properties saturate the base, causing pavers to sink and shift. We fix the drainage first, then re-bed on a stabilized base.
- Asphalt softens and ruts under horse trailers and feed trucks. The summer heat plus heavy loads destroy standard residential asphalt. We either spec a heavier-duty mix or steer equestrian clients toward concrete or reinforced pavers.
- Concrete driveways on 1960s-1980s CBS homes crack from subgrade movement. These original slabs often lack expansion joints and rebar. The sandy clay here shifts with wet and dry seasons, and the concrete pays the price.
- Drainage swales and French drains fail due to shallow groundwater. On properties near the Everglades transition zone, water backs up through gravel beds and undermines whatever’s above. We design for Davie’s actual water table, not textbook conditions.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Davie
Yes, driveway replacement requires a permit from Broward County Building Division, and if your property is in Davie’s equestrian overlay zone, you may also need equestrian-use compatibility sign-off from Davie Planning and Zoning first. We handle both permitting sequences as part of our project management. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify your property’s zoning and permit path during the estimate.
Reinforced concrete or heavy-duty pavers are the best choices for Davie horse properties. Standard asphalt ruts under trailer loads in summer heat, and residential-grade pavers shift without proper base engineering. We spec 6-inch reinforced concrete at 4,000 PSI or Belgard/Techo-Bloc commercial-grade pavers on a stabilized base for 12,000+ lb capacity. The exact recommendation depends on your traffic patterns and drainage - we’ll assess both on-site.
Your sand bedding is washing out, likely because the base lacks proper drainage for Davie’s high water table or the pitch sends water underneath instead of away. This is common in Davie where summer storms drop inches in hours and the groundwater sits shallow. We fix it by regrading for positive drainage, installing geotextile fabric, and re-bedding on compacted limestone rather than loose sand.
We can usually match or closely approximate existing paver colors if we know the manufacturer and product line. Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc all maintain color records, though sun fading on older installations means the match won’t be exact. We bring sample boards to your site and let you compare in natural light before ordering. For the closest match, we recommend sourcing from the original manufacturer rather than trying to blend mismatched brands.
Asphalt resurfacing in Davie typically falls within the $3,500-$9,000 range for full paving, while overlay resurfacing on a sound base runs toward the lower end. The exact cost depends on square footage, existing damage, and whether drainage corrections are needed. Given Davie’s heat and heavy-load conditions, we always evaluate whether resurfacing is practical or if replacement with concrete or pavers makes more long-term sense. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free assessment and exact quote.
