Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Tequesta’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve worked in Tequesta long enough to know that a driveway here isn’t just a driveway. It’s a surface that has to handle a high water table, federal flood-zone requirements, and salt-air corrosion that inland contractors rarely encounter. Our crews understand the Village of Tequesta’s separate building department process, and we’ve navigated the Section 404 permitting that waterfront properties along the Wild and Scenic Loxahatchee River require.
Homeowners in Tequesta choose us because we’re a single-source contractor. You don’t need one company for your driveway, another for your roof, and a third for your windows. From driveway to roofline, we handle it. That matters in Tequesta, where coordinating multiple trades on a waterfront property can turn into a scheduling nightmare.
Our material approach is straightforward: you choose the brand, we handle the build. For hardscaping, that means Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers - not whatever’s cheapest in the distributor’s yard this week. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Tequesta
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are our most requested hardscape project in Tequesta, and for good reason. Permeable pavers handle stormwater better than solid concrete in flood-prone areas, and individual units can be lifted and reset if surge pushes sand underneath. We install every paver driveway in Tequesta with an 8-inch crushed stone base and geotextile fabric - non-negotiable on a high water table that sits just 2-4 feet below grade. After Hurricane Nicole, we repaved a paver driveway on Bridge Road by the Loxahatchee River where the old sand-set pavers had washed out entirely, leaving ruts. Our crew compacted a new 8-inch aggregate base, laid polymeric sand, and sealed the joints to match the village’s floodplain permit requirements, so the homeowner didn’t have to redo it again after the next king tide.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Tequesta need special attention to the mix design and reinforcement. Salt-air corrosion from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal accelerates steel rebar rust, which causes spalling - those ugly, dangerous flakes that pop off the surface. We specify marine-grade sealers and proper vapor barriers for every concrete pour, and we pay attention to the concrete mix’s sulfate resistance given the coastal exposure. Slab-on-grade work here requires dewatering planning and careful coordination with the village’s flood-zone elevation rules.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works well for Tequesta homeowners who want a clean, dark surface at a lower initial cost than pavers or decorative concrete. We do asphalt paving and resurfacing with attention to base preparation - the same high water table that shifts pavers will destroy an asphalt driveway laid on inadequate stone. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway in Tequesta typically runs $3,500-$9,000, but only if the base is sound. We’ll tell you honestly if your base needs rebuilding first.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Many of Tequesta’s homes were built in the 1960s through 1980s, and their original driveways are past functional life. We handle full tear-outs and replacements, including coordination with the Village of Tequesta’s building department for permit and elevation compliance. If you’re in an AE or VE flood zone, replacement may trigger requirements for stem-wall or elevated foundations that affect how the driveway ties to the structure. We know the inspectors and the process.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- Paver driveways laid without proper base on Tequesta’s high water table settle and shift after heavy rain, creating trip hazards and standing water. We see this constantly on driveways installed by inland contractors who didn’t account for the saturated soil conditions. The fix is always a full base rebuild with geotextile fabric and proper drainage.
- Salt-air corrosion from the Intracoastal and Atlantic spray degrades steel reinforcement in concrete driveways, causing spalling and cracks within a few years if not sealed with a marine-grade sealer. Tequesta’s position on the northern Palm Beach County coastline means every driveway gets hit with salt, even blocks inland.
- Storm surge from hurricanes pushes sand and debris under pavers, dislodging them and leaving sharp edges that need immediate resetting to prevent further damage. After every major storm, we get calls from waterfront properties where the driveway has become a hazard zone.
- Original driveways from the 1960s-1980s housing stock have failed subbases and no modern drainage, leading to ponding that violates village stormwater codes. Replacement isn’t just cosmetic - it’s often required to bring the property into compliance.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Tequesta
Yes, the Village of Tequesta requires a building permit for driveway replacement, and waterfront properties may need additional flood-zone compliance review. The village building department operates separately from Palm Beach County, so out-of-area contractors often get caught off-guard by the local process. We handle permit submission as part of our standard workflow. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll verify exactly what your property needs.
Your paver driveway sinks because the base was likely installed without adequate crushed stone depth or geotextile fabric, and Tequesta’s high water table - often just 2-4 feet below grade - causes soil movement and washout during heavy rain. We rebuild sinking driveways with an 8-inch compacted aggregate base and proper drainage to prevent recurrence. Call (844) 665-0162 for an assessment - estimates are free.
Yes, we regularly install paver driveways on sloped Tequesta lots, including waterfront properties along the Loxahatchee River. Sloped installations require additional base compaction, edge restraints, and sometimes permeable paver systems to manage stormwater runoff per village code. We’ll engineer the drainage to handle both rainfall and potential surge. Call (844) 665-0162 to walk your site.
Sealed concrete with marine-grade sealer or quality clay pavers with polymeric sand joints both perform well in Tequesta’s salt-air environment. Unsealed concrete with standard steel reinforcement will spall within years. We specify materials and sealants rated for coastal exposure, and we reseal on maintenance schedules that account for your property’s distance from the water. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss which material fits your site.
Most driveway installations take 3-7 days of actual construction once permits are issued, but Tequesta’s village permit review typically adds 2-3 weeks, and waterfront properties in AE or VE flood zones may face additional federal review timelines. We build permit lag into every project schedule so you’re not surprised. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your property’s location.
