Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Greenacres
We’re Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida, and we build driveways, patios, and walkways that hold up to Greenacres’s flat, wet conditions. Call us at (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate. A paver driveway installation in Greenacres typically runs $7,000-$18,000, while concrete driveway work starts around $4,500 and most projects finish within one to two weeks once permits clear.
Greenacres sits on some of the lowest, flattest ground in Palm Beach County, and that geography changes how you prep a driveway base. We’ve worked throughout the 33454 zip and surrounding neighborhoods long enough to know where the water table runs high and where the county’s drainage canals dictate your grading plan. That local knowledge keeps your driveway from sinking, shifting, or pooling water six months after we leave.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Greenacres’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Homeowners in Greenacres call us because we understand the difference between building on this inland plain and building closer to the coast. The water table here sits just 2-4 feet below grade. That means inadequate base prep shows up fast, and we’ve seen too many local driveways installed by out-of-county crews who treated the site like higher, drier ground. We don’t make that mistake.
Our Driveway & Pavers team handles everything from paver resets to full driveway replacements for homes across Greenacres, from the older CBS neighborhoods near the Palm Beach County Canal to the condo communities closer to Lake Worth Road. We’re familiar with Palm Beach County’s local amendments to the Florida Building Code, including the roof-to-wall connector inspections and opening-protection upgrades that often get triggered when you pull a permit on a pre-1994 home. Even if your project is just a driveway, that permitting awareness matters. We coordinate with the county so you don’t face surprise compliance costs mid-project.
Raymond Estevez leads our field operations, and he personally reviews site conditions on every Greenacres driveway job before we break ground. Our crews are in Greenacres regularly, which means material deliveries and follow-up visits don’t wait on a truck routing from Fort Lauderdale.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Greenacres
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are our most requested hardscape project in Greenacres, and for good reason. The modular surface handles the subtle ground movement that comes with a high water table better than a monolithic slab, provided the base is built right. We install Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers on a compacted limestone base with geotextile separation, sized to your specific soil conditions. In Greenacres, that typically means excavating deeper and compacting in lifts to account for the saturated soils below. You choose the brand and pattern; we handle the engineering.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Greenacres demand attention to drainage and reinforcement. The flat terrain drains entirely through the Palm Beach County canal network, so any driveway that blocks sheet flow can create standing water problems for you and your neighbors. We grade for positive drainage, use fiber-reinforced or rebar-enhanced concrete depending on load requirements, and cut control joints at proper intervals to manage thermal expansion. For homeowners who want visual interest without the maintenance of pavers, we also pour stamped concrete driveways that mimic stone or brick at a lower installed cost.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works well for long, straight driveways and for homeowners who want a clean, dark surface at a lower initial investment. In Greenacres, asphalt driveways run $3,500-$9,000 for a typical residential installation. The material flexes with ground movement better than concrete, though it requires periodic sealing to protect against the intense South Florida UV and the occasional fuel or fertilizer spill. We install new asphalt and resurface existing drives where the base is still sound.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Many Greenacres homes were built between the late 1960s and early 1990s, and their original driveways have reached or exceeded their service life. We handle full driveway replacement, including removal of the old surface, regrading, base correction, and new installation. On a recent paver driveway replacement in the Greenacres neighborhood near the Palm Beach County Canal, our crew found the existing sand base had washed out, leaving a wavy surface with settled pavers. We excavated to the indicated height, installed a geotextile fabric and a compacted 6-inch limestone base to manage the high water table, and set the pavers with polymeric sand. The result is a smooth, stable drive that won’t shift with the rain we see here.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
We don’t believe in locking you into a single manufacturer. Our hardscape work draws from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc for pavers, and we specify Portland cement, reinforcement, and admixtures from recognized suppliers for concrete work. When your project ties into other exterior improvements, we can coordinate James Hardie siding, KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry for adjacent outdoor kitchens, and Cambria countertops for poolside bars. Everything comes through our single-source workflow. You choose the brand that fits your budget and taste; we handle the build.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Paver settling and shifting from inadequate base prep. The high water table in Greenacres means sand bases wash out and clay soils expand and contract. We see this constantly in driveways installed without proper sub-base compaction or geotextile separation. The fix is excavation to stable material, then a compacted limestone base in controlled lifts.
- Standing water and poor drainage. Greenacres’s flat terrain and reliance on canal drainage means any disruption to sheet flow creates pooling. We grade every driveway to shed water toward appropriate collection points, not toward your foundation or your neighbor’s yard.
- Concrete spalling from salt-air corrosion. Even inland Greenacres gets salt-laden air during onshore flow events. That salt accelerates corrosion of metal edging, rebar, and fasteners in concrete installations, leading to surface spalling and premature failure. We use galvanized or epoxy-coated reinforcement and proper concrete cover depths to slow this process.
- Permit surprises on older homes. Pulling a permit for a driveway extension or adjacent patio on a pre-1994 Greenacres home can trigger Palm Beach County’s strict local amendments, including roof-to-wall connector inspections. We review your home’s age and permit history before we bid, so you’re not hit with compliance costs mid-project.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Greenacres
The high water table, typically 2-4 feet below grade in Greenacres, undermines sand bases and causes clay soils to shift seasonally. Without a properly compacted limestone sub-base and geotextile fabric, pavers settle and create the wavy surface you’re seeing. We fix this by excavating to stable material, installing a 6-inch compacted limestone base, and resetting with polymeric sand that locks the joints. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact quote on your reset.
Yes, Palm Beach County requires a permit for any new driveway, driveway extension, or significant hardscape installation that changes drainage patterns. On pre-1994 homes, that permit can trigger additional inspections for roof-to-wall connectors and opening protection. We handle the permit application and plan review as part of our standard process. Call us to confirm what your specific property will require.
Salt-laden air from coastal onshore flow accelerates corrosion of metal reinforcement and edging in concrete, leading to spalling and premature surface failure. Even inland Greenacres sees this effect during storm events and sustained easterly winds. We specify adequate concrete cover over rebar, use galvanized or epoxy-coated reinforcement where appropriate, and ensure proper drainage to minimize salt accumulation on the surface.
Interlocking concrete pavers generally outperform monolithic concrete in Greenacres’s high-water-table conditions because the modular surface accommodates minor ground movement without cracking. The key is the base: a compacted limestone foundation with geotextile separation prevents the settling and shifting that ruins cheap paver jobs. For homeowners who prefer concrete, we specify fiber reinforcement, control joints at proper spacing, and positive drainage to maximize service life.
Yes, and it’s one of our most common projects in the area. We remove the existing concrete, evaluate and correct the base condition, then install your chosen paver system on a properly prepared foundation. Because Greenacres’s flat terrain and high water table make drainage critical, we redesign the grade as needed rather than simply following the old concrete’s pitch.
