West Park sits on some of the flattest, lowest-elevation ground in Broward County, right in the historic Everglades drainage corridor. That means every driveway we install here has to fight standing water, saturated soil, and hurricane-force winds - not just look good. Our Driveway & Pavers team has worked throughout the 33023 zip, from the Ravenswood neighborhood off Pembroke Road to the corridors near South State Road 7, and we know the local conditions that destroy driveways built to inland standards.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is West Park’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve been serving West Park since before it was officially a city. That matters because most of the driveways and paver patios here were installed under Broward County’s unincorporated permitting system, not West Park’s current building code. When we pull a permit file, we know how to read county-era records, spot missing final inspections, and fix the gaps before your new work starts. Homeowners in West Park tell us that’s the difference between a project that stalls and one that moves.
Our crews are based in Fort Lauderdale, so we’re never far from West Park job sites. We can usually inspect your driveway, assess drainage, and give you a written estimate the same week you call. Raymond Estevez, who leads Groundwork Construction Co., personally reviews every West Park project plan to make sure we’re accounting for local soil conditions and current wind-code requirements.
We’re not a paver-only outfit that disappears after the install. We’re the same contractor who can replace your roof with GAF or CertainTeed shingles, install impact windows from Andersen or PGT, and build out your kitchen with KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops. One contractor, every phase. That matters in West Park, where one permit issue can cascade into multiple trades.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in West Park
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are our most requested install in West Park, and for good reason. A properly built paver driveway with wind-rated edge restraint won’t lift and scatter during tropical storms the way loose-laid pavers do. We source Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc pavers - brands that offer specific wind-resistant installation systems. In West Park, we always excavate to check the base, because county-era installations often skipped proper drainage layers. A paver driveway here runs $7,000-$18,000, and we won’t quote one without inspecting what’s underneath first.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in West Park face a brutal combination: flat terrain, poor-draining soil, and summer downpours that last for hours. Original 1960s and 1970s slabs in the 33023 zip were often poured without adequate base preparation or expansion joints, which is why we see so many cracked and settled driveways. Our concrete driveway installations run $4,500-$12,000 and include proper base compaction, drainage planning, and control joints placed for South Florida’s wet-dry cycles. We also pour concrete patios, walkways, and pool decks with the same attention to what West Park’s soil does to flatwork.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt isn’t as common in West Park as pavers or concrete, but it has its place for long driveways and budget-conscious replacements. Asphalt paving runs $3,500-$9,000, though we often steer West Park homeowners toward pavers or concrete because asphalt doesn’t handle standing water as well. When we do install asphalt, we build up the base with crushed concrete and proper crown drainage to combat the low-elevation pooling that happens here.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in West Park almost always involves surprises. The city’s 2005 incorporation means we’re frequently uncovering county-era work that was never permitted or inspected. A full driveway replacement runs $5,000-$14,000, but the real cost driver is what we find when we open the ground. We’ve hit unpermitted garage footings, undocumented utility lines, and base material that washed out years ago. We quote replacement work only after a site inspection and permit file review - no exceptions in West Park.
Driveway Sealing
Sealing protects your investment from UV damage, oil stains, and the constant wet-dry cycling that degrades West Park driveways. Our sealing service runs $250-$700 and uses commercial-grade sealants appropriate for South Florida’s intensity. We recommend sealing every 2-3 years for concrete, and paver re-sanding with polymeric joint stabilizer as part of the service.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in West Park Homes
- Unpermitted base work from county-era installations shifts or washes out. Before 2005, Broward County oversight was inconsistent, and many driveways were built without proper base depth or drainage. We find this constantly when we excavate for replacements in the 33023 zip - the old base is thin, saturated, or missing entirely.
- Low-elevation flat terrain lets standing water undermine paver bases. West Park’s near-surface water table means even modest rainfall can saturate the soil beneath your driveway. Without proper base drainage, pavers settle into soft spots and create the wavy, uneven surfaces we see on so many older homes.
- Original driveways lack wind-rated edge restraints. County-era paver installations often used plastic edge restraints staked into uncompacted soil. When tropical storm winds hit, those stakes pull out and pavers scatter across the lawn. We install engineered edge systems anchored to concrete curbs or deeper footings.
- 1960s-1970s concrete slabs crack from thermal expansion without relief joints. Those original driveways were poured small and tight, with little thought to South Florida’s temperature swings. The concrete has nowhere to go, so it cracks and heaves, especially where tree roots have invaded.

West Park’s Unique Permit Landscape: What Homeowners Need to Know
Here’s what separates West Park from every other city we work in Broward County. West Park only incorporated in 2005. Before that, the entire area was unincorporated Broward County, and the county’s permitting enforcement for residential work was, by today’s standards, minimal. Driveways, garage additions, patio slabs - much of it went in without permits, or with permits that were never finaled.
Today, when you want to replace your driveway or install new pavers, West Park’s building department requires current Florida Building Code compliance. That sounds straightforward until we pull your property file and find county-era work with no final inspection, or additions that were never permitted at all. We’ve seen this repeatedly in West Park: a homeowner wants a simple paver driveway, but the permit review uncovers a 1970s garage conversion with no footing inspection, or a patio slab tied to the main house structure without engineering. That old work has to be brought to current code before your new permit issues.
This isn’t a scare tactic. It’s the reality of building in a young city with old, under-documented housing stock. We handle this remediation as part of our project management. We know the West Park building department staff, we know how to read county legacy files, and we know when to bring in structural engineering for footing verification. Most importantly, we catch these issues before excavation starts, so you’re not paying for a stop-work order and redesign mid-project.
In the Ravenswood neighborhood off Pembroke Road, we replaced a crumbling 1960s concrete driveway that the owner assumed was “just old.” After pulling West Park’s permit file, we discovered the original slab was tied to a 1970s unpermitted garage addition whose footing had settled into the soggy, low-elevation soil. We excavated the old concrete, rebuilt the base with proper drainage, and installed a new paver driveway with a wind-rated edge restraint that stays put through hurricane gusts.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in West Park
West Park now enforces the current Florida Building Code, which includes specific wind-load requirements for exterior hardscape in high-velocity hurricane zones. Broward County’s unincorporated permitting before 2005 did not consistently require wind-rated edge restraints or engineered base systems for residential driveways. Today, any new paver installation in West Park must demonstrate that pavers and edge restraints can resist uplift forces from tropical storm and hurricane winds. We specify Belgard and Techo-Bloc systems with concrete-curb or deep-anchor edge restraints that meet this standard. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll show you the specific products we use.
No. West Park requires a building permit for any driveway replacement or new paver installation that disturbs the existing base or changes the drainage pattern. More importantly, the permit process triggers a property records review that often reveals unpermitted county-era work requiring remediation. Skipping the permit risks a stop-work order, fines, and problems when you sell the home. We handle permit pulling as standard on every West Park job. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free estimate that includes permit management.
If your 1960s slab is cracked, settled, or heaved - which describes most original driveways in the 33023 zip - it cannot serve as a proper base for pavers. Pavers need a compacted, draining base of crushed stone, not an old concrete slab that will continue shifting. We also check whether the slab is tied to unpermitted structures, which is common in West Park. Our site inspection includes sounding the concrete and reviewing permit files to make the call. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule an inspection.
Wind-rated edge restraint is a mechanical system that locks pavers at the perimeter and anchors them against uplift from high winds. Standard plastic edging with short spikes fails in West Park’s storm conditions. We use engineered systems - concrete curb edges, aluminum L-profiles with deep anchors, or manufacturer-specific restraint products from Belgard and Unilock - that are tested and documented for Florida’s wind zones. This is not optional in West Park; it’s code. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll specify the right restraint for your project.
Shifting after rain indicates a failed or inadequate base, which is the most common paver problem we see in West Park. The combination of flat terrain, poor-draining soil, and original county-era installations that skipped proper base depth means water saturates and softens the ground beneath your pavers. Each rain cycle lets them settle a little more. The fix is complete base excavation, installation of a compacted crushed-stone base with drainage, and proper grading to move water away. Driveway sealing with joint stabilizer helps, but it won’t fix a failed base. Call (844) 665-0162 for an inspection and repair estimate.
