Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Tamarac’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve been working in Tamarac long enough to know the soil before we break ground. The high water table, the sandy base that wasn’t always compacted properly in the 1970s builds, the way a summer downpour can turn a poorly drained paver driveway into a wavy mess - our Driveway & Pavers crew factors all of it into every estimate.
Homeowners near the Woodlands Country Club and along University Drive have called us back for second and third projects. They mention the same things: we show up when we say we will, we explain why the base matters as much as the surface, and we don’t treat a driveway like an afterthought because it’s outside. Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the idea that exterior work deserves the same material rigor as a kitchen remodel. That means Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers - not whatever’s cheapest from the supply yard. It also means we handle the permitting, the drainage planning, and the coordination with Broward County inspectors so you don’t have to chase paperwork.
Our response time to Tamarac is typically same-day for estimates and within 48 hours for most repair calls. We know the local building department’s requirements for driveway drainage and elevation, especially in flood-prone pockets near the Everglades drainage canals. One contractor, every phase - from driveway to roofline.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Tamarac
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Tamarac start at $7,000 and run to $18,000 for larger or premium installations. The real work is below the surface. Tamarac’s sandy soil sits atop a high water table fed by the Everglades drainage system, and we’ve seen too many installations where the original contractor skipped proper base compaction to save a day. Six months later, the pavers settle, water pools, and you’re looking at a tripping hazard every rainy season. We excavate to proper depth, install a compacted crushed-rock base with geotextile fabric where needed, and grade for drainage before a single paver goes down. Our field team recently replaced a sunken driveway at a 1974-built villa complex near the Mainlands - excavated through saturated soil, rebuilt the base to Broward County code, and re-laid the pavers to proper elevation. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Tamarac ranges from $4,500 to $12,000. The city’s housing stock is dominated by 1960s-70s concrete block structures, and many original concrete driveways are now showing spalling, rebar corrosion, and failed expansion joints. We pour new concrete driveways with proper reinforcement and control joints spaced for South Florida’s wet-dry cycles. For homeowners in villa communities and single-family neighborhoods alike, we also handle concrete walkways, patio slabs, and pool decks that need to integrate with existing hardscape. You choose the finish - broom, exposed aggregate, or stamped - and we handle the mix design and pour to withstand Tamarac’s climate.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving and resurfacing in Tamarac runs $3,500-$9,000. Asphalt works well for longer driveways and budget-conscious replacements, but it demands proper base preparation just like pavers. In Tamarac’s low-lying areas, we pay particular attention to drainage design so water doesn’t undermine the edges during our intense summer rains. We also seal-coat existing asphalt to extend its life, typically every 3-5 years depending on sun exposure and traffic.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Tamarac costs $5,000-$14,000 depending on size, material, and what’s underneath. Many Tamarac properties need more than a surface fix. The original base may be compromised by decades of water infiltration, or the driveway may have been poured without adequate reinforcement for our soil conditions. We assess the full structure - base, drainage, edges, and connection to the home’s foundation - before recommending repair versus replacement. For properties heading into Broward County’s 40-year recertification, we coordinate our work with any concurrent concrete restoration or structural repairs so you’re not paying for demo twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
Groundwork works with 50+ recognized industry brands across every residential construction category, and our hardscape division is no exception. For paver driveways in Tamarac, we source from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc - four of the most specified paver manufacturers in South Florida. These aren’t proprietary products locked to one contractor; you choose the brand, we handle the build. For concrete work, we spec mixes from recognized regional suppliers with proven performance in high-water-table environments. We don’t stock “whatever’s on the truck.” We order to your project’s spec, and that means proper lead times, proper curing, and a finished driveway that matches what you approved in the sample.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Sunken pavers from failed base compaction. Tamarac’s 1970s-era garden-style condos and villas often have paver driveways laid directly over sandy, high-water-table soil without adequate crushed-rock base or drainage. Heavy rains saturate the ground, the base erodes, and pavers shift or sink within a few seasons.
- Spalling concrete and rebar corrosion. Aging concrete driveways from the 1960s-70s develop “concrete cancer” - surface spalling that exposes corroding steel reinforcement. Left untreated during recertification, it spreads and compromises structural integrity.
- Cracked expansion joints and driveway edges. As Tamarac’s water table rises and falls with seasonal rainfall, shallow foundation villa homes see repeated stress on driveway edges and control joints. The cracks widen, water intrudes, and freeze-thaw isn’t even required - our wet-dry cycles do the damage.
- Poor drainage creating pooling and erosion. Driveways installed without proper grading toward street drains or swales trap water against the home or garage slab. In Tamarac’s flat terrain, even a half-inch of incorrect grade becomes a recurring problem.

What moves the number? Size is obvious, but in Tamarac, soil conditions matter just as much. A driveway on properly compacted fill near newer construction may need minimal base prep. A 1970s villa with saturated sandy soil and no drainage? We’ll need to excavate deeper, install drainage, and possibly coordinate with dewatering permits. Material choice matters too - basic concrete versus stamped, or standard pavers versus permeable installations for flood-prone lots. We don’t guess. We probe the soil, check the grade, and give you a line-item estimate before you sign. Call (844) 665-0162 - estimates are free, and we’ll walk your property with you.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Tamarac
They sink because the base wasn’t built for Tamarac’s soil. Our high water table and sandy ground mean water moves laterally beneath the surface, washing out uncompacted base material. We see this most in 1970s villa communities where original installers skipped proper excavation and crushed-rock base. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll probe your base depth and give you a repair or rebuild estimate.
Driveway surfaces themselves don’t carry wind-load ratings, but attached structures and the home’s overall envelope do. For Tamarac properties in 40-year recertification or post-Surfside SB 4-D structural reviews, we coordinate our concrete and paver work with any required structural repairs so your exterior surfaces don’t conflict with remediation plans. We pull permits through Broward County and ensure drainage and elevation compliance.
Usually yes, though some original 1970s paver styles are discontinued. We source from Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc, which carry extensive historical and regional lines. For a recent project near the Mainlands, we matched a discontinued terracotta tone by blending two current Belgard colors. Bring a photo or a loose paver to your estimate, and we’ll track down the closest match or a complementary transition.
It means active dewatering during excavation, deeper base preparation, and careful drainage design. Tamarac sits low in western Broward with Everglades-fed groundwater often within a few feet of the surface. We may need to pump and trench during demo, then install French drains or graded swales to keep water from undermining your new base. This adds labor but prevents the settling that ruins cheaper installations. We factor it into your estimate upfront.
Both work if installed correctly, but pavers handle minor settling better and allow for spot repairs. Concrete is lower maintenance but cracks are harder to fix invisibly. For flood-prone Tamarac lots, permeable pavers can reduce runoff and meet newer stormwater requirements. We’ll walk your property, check your drainage, and recommend what actually fits - not what we prefer to install. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free assessment.
