Margate’s 1970s-era housing stock, shared villa driveways, and high water table create paver and concrete challenges you won’t find in newer Broward County suburbs. Our Driveway & Pavers team has worked the Wynmoor communities, Oriole Gardens, and the Palm Springs neighborhoods long enough to know the specific HOA rules, party-wall setbacks, and drainage fixes that keep projects moving.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Margate’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve replaced driveways and installed paver patios across Margate’s 33093 zip code and surrounding neighborhoods for years. Raymond Estevez built our company on the principle that a contractor should know the house they’re working on before they quote it, and in Margate that means understanding the 1965-1978 CBS slab-on-grade construction that dominates nearly every residential street.
Our customers in Margate come back because we don’t hand projects off to subs they’ve never met. One contractor, every phase, from the first grade check to the final edge restraint. We coordinate directly with Wynmoor, Oriole Gardens, and other 55+ community HOAs so you’re not stuck between a contractor who doesn’t return calls and a board meeting that keeps getting postponed.
Response time matters here. Margate sits inland enough that afternoon thunderstorms saturate the flat, low-lying ground fast. When a driveway heaves or a paver edge fails, you need someone who can assess drainage, not just patch the symptom. We’re local. We know the water table sits 12-24 inches below grade in most Margate neighborhoods, and we engineer for it.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Margate
Paver Driveways
Paver driveway installation in Margate typically costs $7,000-$18,000 and delivers the best long-term value for homeowners dealing with our wet, flat terrain. We specify permeable base systems and Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers rated for South Florida’s UV exposure and salt air. In Margate’s attached villa communities, we engineer shared-assembly transitions so your new driveway doesn’t create a code violation for your neighbor’s slab.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A new concrete driveway in Margate runs $4,500-$12,000. We pour with fiber-reinforced mixes and control joints spaced for the expansive clay soils common in inland Broward County. Original 1970s concrete in neighborhoods like Palm Springs and Oriole Gardens was often poured without proper drainage fall, so we regrade to shed water toward street drains rather than letting it pool against the house.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway paving in Margate costs $3,500-$9,000 and works well for longer driveways on detached homes near Coral Springs Road or Royal Palm Boulevard. We don’t recommend asphalt for attached villa communities where shared surfaces and HOA aesthetic rules typically prohibit it, but for the right property it’s a cost-effective solution we install with proper base compaction for our saturated soils.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Margate ranges from $5,000-$14,000 depending on whether we’re removing failed concrete, correcting drainage, or rebuilding a shared villa apron. We handle the permit cycle, including Broward County’s post-Andrew wind-load compliance inspections that trigger on any structural alteration to these 50-year-old homes. That’s not paperwork padding; it’s the law here, and skipping it kills your resale.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We stock Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers at our Fort Lauderdale facility, with local inventory that eliminates the 3-4 week lead times common when contractors order from out of state. For concrete work, we specify Quikrete and Sakrete professional-grade mixes with air entrainment for wet climates. Our interior and exterior scope means if your driveway project reveals rotted fascia or failing windows, we can source Andersen, Pella, or Marvin replacements without bringing in a separate contractor. You choose the brand, we handle the build.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Water-trapped paver bases heave after storms. In Margate’s flat, high-water-table soils, un-perforated base systems trap rainfall and create trip hazards within one season. We specify open-graded permeable bases that let water percolate down, not pool underneath.
- Shared villa driveways trigger HOA and code conflicts. Original 1970s concrete in attached communities was poured with shared expansion joints. Replacing one side without accounting for the neighbor’s slab violates both HOA shared-assembly rules and Broward County code. We survey the full assembly before we cut.
- Loose pavers become wind-borne projectiles. During hurricane season, failed edge restraints and deteriorated concrete edges lift in wind gusts. Broward’s strict wind-load compliance inspections will flag this, and your project won’t pass final without proper edge anchoring.
- Low-slope driveways drain poorly and destroy joint sand. Many original Margate driveways were graded flat or back toward the house. New paver or concrete work must include positive drainage, or standing water accelerates joint sand loss and slab spalling within two years.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Margate
Yes, nearly always. Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew building code requires permits for any structural alteration on 50-year-old homes, and paver driveway replacement in attached villa communities typically triggers wind-load compliance inspections. We handle the permit cycle and coordinate with your HOA so you’re not navigating the building department alone. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll confirm exactly what your property requires.
Your base system is almost certainly trapping water. Margate’s water table sits 12-24 inches below grade, and standard compacted aggregate bases become bathtubs in flat, saturated soils. We switch to permeable, open-graded base systems that let water percolate through rather than push pavers upward. On a paver driveway replacement in the Wynmoor 55+ community, our crew hit a water table just 16 inches below grade. We switched to a permeable paver base system to handle the saturation, coordinated the party-wall setback with the HOA, and finished with a wind-rated edge restraint to keep pavers in place during a nor’easter.
Not the driveway itself, but if your project includes any structural alteration to the home envelope, Broward County code requires impact-rated openings. Many Margate driveway replacements near the house involve stucco cuts, lintel modifications, or garage door threshold changes that trigger this requirement. We assess the full scope before we start so you’re not surprised by a mid-project code inspection.
Yes, and they usually do. Wynmoor and similar Margate communities maintain architectural control committees that specify color palettes, paver patterns, and edge restraint types. We submit full material samples and engineering drawings with your application so the board has everything they need for approval. Starting work without HOA clearance means stopping work mid-project. We don’t let that happen.
Three specifics: permeable base so water moves through rather than across, polymeric joint sand that hardens slightly when activated, and wind-rated edge restraints anchored below the frost line. In Margate’s flat terrain, positive surface drainage is the missing piece most contractors skip. Without it, standing water loosens joint sand before the storm even arrives. We grade every installation to shed water toward street drains. For a pre-storm assessment of your existing driveway, call (844) 665-0162.
