Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Anthony
Driveway and paver work in Anthony, TX usually comes down to one thing: finding a contractor who understands what caliche does to a slab, what a 105-degree afternoon does to fresh concrete, and which side of the state line your property actually sits on. Barrett & Sons Construction has been handling all three since 1998. We’re Tom Barrett and his sons, and we serve Anthony from our El Paso office with crews who know ZIP 79821 well. If you need a straight answer on paver driveways, concrete work, asphalt resurfacing, or a full driveway replacement, call (877) 610-1318. We answer the phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anthony’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
You don’t have to take our word for it. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s the kind of transparency homeowners in Anthony tell us they rarely got from the last contractor they called, and it’s one reason we keep getting asked back.
Anthony sits directly on the Texas-New Mexico state line. A driveway project here can get tangled fast if your contractor doesn’t confirm parcel-level state location before pulling a permit. We do that on every job. It’s not a formality. If equipment or material staging crosses the unmarked boundary, a Texas-licensed contractor can suddenly be working in New Mexico without a New Mexico license. We’ve managed that reality for years, and it’s exactly the kind of local detail a national outfit won’t catch until the inspector shows up.
We also know the soil. Caliche runs just below the surface across Anthony, and it does not dig nicely. It laughs at a standard excavator bucket. That means proper base prep for a paver driveway or a concrete slab costs more here than it does in softer ground, and any honest estimate has to account for it. Ours always does, in writing, before work starts.
Every Anthony job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Anthony
We handle the full range of Driveway & Pavers work, but most Anthony homeowners call us for one of these four. Here’s what each involves in your part of El Paso County.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Anthony handles the Chihuahuan Desert better than most people expect. The pavers themselves, whether Belgard or Techo-Bloc, shrug off UV exposure that would fade cheaper materials in two summers. The real work happens underneath. Given the caliche, we excavate deeper than a contractor working in loam would, then build a compacted base that won’t shift when the ground heats and cools. A typical paver driveway here runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage and paver selection.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Summer highs above 100°F change how concrete cures in Anthony. Pour too late in the morning and the surface sets before the interior, which leads to spider cracking within a year. We schedule pours around the heat and use retarders when needed. Slab-on-grade homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s dominate the local housing stock, so we’re also called in for concrete patios, walkways, and pool decks. A standard concrete driveway in Anthony starts around $4,500 and runs to about $12,000.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt makes sense for longer driveways on the newer tract construction east of Anthony, where lot sizes grew with the El Paso metro expansion. Heat softens asphalt, and winters here bring periodic hard freezes that crack poorly laid material. We resurface existing asphalt when the base is still sound, and replace it entirely when it isn’t. Asphalt paving in Anthony typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, with resurfacing at the lower end.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Older adobe and masonry homes closer to the state line often have driveways poured decades ago, before current compaction standards. Cracking, sinking, and edge spalling are common. We assess whether the slab can be repaired or needs full replacement, and we give you a written line-item quote either way. Driveway replacement in Anthony generally costs $5,000 to $14,000. No change orders appear without a written signature from you first.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anthony
We don’t install mystery materials. On paver and hardscape projects in Anthony, we work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc because they publish their specs and you can look them up. For driveway-adjacent exterior work like windows and doors that often get tackled at the same time, we carry and service Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT. We also handle our Bathroom Remodeling in Anthony for homeowners tackling multiple updates. When a homeowner in Anthony is replacing a driveway apron and notices the front window frame has UV damage, we can quote both in the same visit. That keeps the project moving and keeps you from coordinating two contractors.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Anthony Homes
- Caliche pushing back. The calcium carbonate layer under Anthony’s surface doesn’t drain well and doesn’t compact like regular soil. Driveways built without proper base prep heave and crack within a few seasons. We see it constantly.
- UV-cooked sealcoating. Intense desert sun degrades asphalt binders and sealers faster here than almost anywhere in Texas. A driveway sealed with a cheap product in spring looks gray and cracked by fall. We use materials rated for high-UV exposure.
- State line confusion. Some Anthony properties sit close enough to the New Mexico line that a contractor who doesn’t verify jurisdiction can start work and find the inspection voided. We confirm parcel location before any permit is pulled.
- Hard freeze damage on older masonry. Anthony’s winters include periodic hard freezes that stress older adobe and masonry driveways and walkways. Hairline cracks widen when water gets in and freezes. We assess and repair before it becomes a trip hazard.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Anthony
We schedule estimates in Anthony within a few business days, and often sooner depending on the season. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, not a voicemail box. We’ll set a time that works and Tom or one of his sons will walk the property with you.
Yes. We cover the entire 79821 ZIP code, including the older adobe and masonry homes right on the Texas-New Mexico line. Before we quote anything, we confirm which state the parcel sits in so the permit is pulled correctly the first time. That’s not a detail we guess at.
For genuine hazards like a sinkhole opening in a slab or a paver area lifting and creating a fall risk, call (877) 610-1318 right away. We’ll assess the urgency and schedule accordingly. For routine cracks and cosmetic work, we’ll book the soonest available slot. Either way, the estimate is free.
Sometimes slightly, and the reason is caliche. Excavating and compacting base material over Anthony’s hardpan takes more time and equipment than in softer soil elsewhere in the county. The materials cost the same. A concrete driveway in Anthony runs $4,500 to $12,000, which is comparable to the rest of the El Paso market once you account for proper base work. We never pad the number to cover a shortcut we took.
Yes, it’s written on every contract we issue for Anthony jobs. If the work isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. It covers workmanship on driveways, pavers, patios, and every other project we complete. No fine print games.
