We’ve seen what happens when South Florida homeowners try to coordinate separate contractors for their exterior projects. The paver crew shows up before the drainage is sorted. The concrete truck arrives during a thunderstorm because no one checked the seasonal weather pattern. Raymond Estevez built Groundwork Construction Co. to eliminate that chaos. We’re the single-source contractor who handles your driveway, patio, walkway, or pool deck with the same material discipline we bring to a kitchen remodel or roof replacement. From Wellington to Boca Raton, we treat hardscaping as part of your home’s complete exterior envelope - not an afterthought.
What Our Driveway & Pavers Service Includes
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways use interlocking concrete, clay brick, or natural stone units set on a compacted base, giving you repairable sections and design flexibility that monolithic surfaces can’t match. In South Florida, you’ll want pavers rated for our freeze-thaw cycles and salt air exposure, especially if you’re near the Intracoastal or ocean. We install Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc paver systems with proper edge restraints and permeable base options where drainage codes require it. A typical paver driveway installation in South Florida runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on pattern complexity and base conditions.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways offer the lowest initial cost and fastest installation for standard residential access in South Florida’s flat terrain. We pour 4-inch minimum slabs with fiber or wire reinforcement, control joints spaced for our expansive clay and sandy soils, and finishes ranging from broom to exposed aggregate. Groundwork also handles concrete walkways, pads for ADU access, and tie-ins where your new driveway meets existing hardscape. Concrete driveway installation typically costs $4,500-$12,000 in this market.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt remains practical for long rural drives in western Palm Beach County and areas like Belle Glade or Canal Point where budget and speed matter more than decorative finish. We install 2-inch compacted lifts over properly prepared subgrade, with optional resurfacing over sound existing asphalt that saves 30-40% versus full removal. Our asphalt work includes proper crowning for South Florida’s intense rainfall and seal-coating recommendations timed to our UV exposure patterns. Expect $3,500-$9,000 for asphalt driveway paving in this region.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
When subsidence, tree root intrusion, or spalling concrete makes patching uneconomical, we provide driveway repair and replacement for the full section or entire driveway. We assess whether your drainage pattern contributed to the failure - common in Lake Worth and Delray Beach where water tables sit high - and correct it before laying new material. Driveway replacement runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on removal depth, base reconstruction needs, and your chosen surface. We’ll tell you honestly when repair suffices and when replacement protects your investment.
Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks
These surfaces live in constant moisture and chemical exposure near South Florida pools, demanding slip-resistant finishes and proper expansion accommodation. We install paver patios with open-graded bases that shed water fast, stamped concrete with proper sealers for UV stability, and pool decks that integrate with your existing coping and drainage. Paver patio installation in South Florida typically costs $3,500-$11,000. Whether you’re in Palm Beach Gardens adding outdoor living space or North Palm Beach replacing a cracked pool deck, we coordinate with your fence, window, or door projects so nothing gets built twice.
Brick Paver Driveway
A brick paver driveway brings a traditional aesthetic that holds up surprisingly well in our climate when installed with proper base and edge details. We source from manufacturers offering color-through body brick rather than surface-coated products that fade unevenly under South Florida sun. Our brick paver installations include soldier courses, herringbone or running bond patterns, and sand or polymeric joint stabilization based on your traffic and maintenance preferences. These projects typically fall within the $7,000-$18,000 paver range with premium material upcharges.
Stamped Concrete Driveway
Stamped concrete mimics stone, slate, or brick at lower cost than authentic materials, using integral color and release agents followed by sealing for UV protection. We pay particular attention to South Florida’s expansion joint spacing - too far apart and you’ll see random cracking within two seasons; too close and the pattern looks busy. Our stamped concrete driveways include proper curing time before vehicle loading and resealing schedules tailored to your sun exposure. Pricing aligns with our concrete driveway range of $4,500-$12,000 with stamping adding $3-$5 per square foot.
Driveway Sealing
Sealing extends the life of asphalt, stamped concrete, and some paver installations by blocking UV degradation, oil penetration, and water intrusion. In South Florida, we recommend resealing every 2-3 years for asphalt and every 3-4 years for decorative concrete - sooner if you’re near the coast where salt air accelerates wear. Our sealing service includes thorough cleaning, crack prep, and application when humidity and temperature allow proper curing. Driveway sealing runs $250-$700 depending on surface area and material condition.

Brands We Service for Driveway & Pavers
Groundwork Construction Co. doesn’t lock you into a single manufacturer. For hardscaping, we work with Belgard, Unilock, Tremron, and Techo-Bloc - four of the most specified paver brands in residential construction. We’ve installed Belgard’s permeable pavers for Wellington homeowners dealing with strict stormwater retention requirements, and we’ve used Techo-Bloc’s high-density concrete units in Delray Beach where salt air tests lesser products. Each brand offers multiple price tiers and aesthetic lines, so you choose what fits your home and budget.
Our concrete work draws from regional suppliers with proven performance in South Florida’s specific climate zone, and our asphalt comes from local plants we trust for consistent mix and delivery timing. Whether you’re matching existing KraftMaid cabinetry colors to your outdoor kitchen hardscape or coordinating James Hardie siding tones with your new paver walkway, we manage the material relationships so you don’t have to. You choose the brand, we handle the build - that’s how Groundwork operates across all seven of our service categories.
Signs You Need Driveway & Pavers Right Now
- Standing water after every rainstorm - Persistent puddles mean your surface has lost proper grade or your base has settled, and in South Florida that water finds its way toward your foundation or pool equipment. We see this frequently in older Boynton Beach and Lake Worth neighborhoods where original driveways were poured without modern drainage planning. Left unaddressed, you’ll get accelerated surface breakdown and potential structure moisture intrusion.
- Cracks wider than a quarter inch or growing rapidly - Hairline cracks happen; widening cracks signal base failure, tree root pressure, or subgrade movement common in our sandy, organic soils. In Bryant and Clewiston, we’ve traced sudden crack propagation to drought-followed-deluge cycles that stress rigid surfaces. The longer you wait, the more water infiltrates and the more extensive the repair becomes.
- Potholes or spalling that catches vehicle tires - Surface deterioration beyond cosmetic patching creates trip hazards and vehicle damage risk. Spalling concrete exposes rebar to salt air corrosion, a particular concern in coastal Boca Raton and North Palm Beach. We assess whether the damage is surface-deep or indicates systemic failure requiring replacement.
- Sunken or heaved sections creating trip hazards - Uneven surfaces indicate base erosion, poor initial compaction, or expansive soil movement. In Canal Point and Belle Glade, high water tables can undermine base materials during wet seasons. These conditions worsen with each rain event and create liability exposure for homeowners.
- Your driveway is 20+ years old and showing multiple symptoms - Even well-built driveways reach end of service life in our climate, where UV exposure, salt air, and intense rainfall accelerate material fatigue. If you’re seeing combined cracking, staining, and drainage issues, replacement often costs less than serial repairs. We provide honest assessment - we’ll repair what makes sense and replace when it doesn’t.
Our Driveway & Pavers Process - Step by Step
- 1
On-site assessment and measurement. We visit your property, evaluate existing conditions, check drainage patterns, and identify underground utilities or irrigation conflicts. For South Florida properties, we specifically note tree canopy, root zones, and proximity to seawalls or canals that affect base design. You’ll receive a written estimate before we leave or within 24 hours.
- 2
Material selection and design confirmation. We bring samples from our paver, concrete, and asphalt partners so you see color and texture in your actual lighting conditions. For Belgard or Unilock pavers, we can show installed references in nearby neighborhoods. We confirm patterns, edge details, and any integration with existing walkways or patios.
- 3
Permit coordination and utility clearance. Groundwork handles permit applications where required by your municipality - Palm Beach County, Wellington, West Palm Beach, and others have varying requirements for driveway width, permeability, and curb cuts. We coordinate utility locates and any required tree protection measures.
- 4
Excavation, base preparation, and compaction. We remove existing material to proper depth - typically 6-10 inches for pavers, 4-6 inches for concrete, varying for asphalt based on traffic load. Base materials are compacted in lifts with plate compactors or rollers, with moisture control critical in our sandy soils. We install geotextile fabric where soil conditions warrant.
- 5
Surface installation, edge restraint, and cleanup. Pavers are laid to pattern, cut with wet saws for clean edges, and compacted into bedding sand. Concrete is poured, finished, and cured with proper joint placement. Asphalt is laid hot and compacted before cooling. We restore disturbed landscaping, remove all debris, and walk you through maintenance for your specific material and South Florida exposure.
How Much Does Driveway & Pavers Cost in South Florida?
A typical paver driveway installation in South Florida runs $7,000-$18,000, while concrete driveway installation costs $4,500-$12,000 and asphalt driveway paving ranges $3,500-$9,000. Driveway replacement when full removal is necessary falls in the $5,000-$14,000 range, and driveway sealing - the maintenance that protects your investment - runs $250-$700. Paver patios and pool decks typically cost $3,500-$11,000 depending on size, pattern complexity, and base conditions.
Several factors move your project within these ranges. Material choice matters: premium Techo-Bloc or natural stone pavers cost more per square foot than basic concrete units, but they also carry longer manufacturer warranties. Site conditions affect labor: tight access in older Boca Raton or Delray Beach neighborhoods, extensive tree root removal, or base reconstruction after previous failure all add scope. Drainage corrections, permit requirements, and integration with existing hardscape also influence final pricing.
To avoid overpaying, get detailed line-item estimates that specify base depth, material grades, and warranty terms - not just a single number. Be wary of quotes that seem to assume identical conditions across every property; South Florida’s soils vary dramatically from coastal sand to inland muck, and your estimate should reflect that. Our free estimates include material samples, base specification, and a clear scope with no hidden charges. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule yours.
