Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Boca Del Mar
Driveway and paver work in Boca Del Mar comes with a specific set of county rules most contractors never see coming. A paver driveway replacement in the 33433 ZIP runs $7,000 to $18,000, and if the base isn’t built to Palm Beach County’s spec for our high water table, you’ll watch that investment sink and wave within two seasons. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve pulled the permits, passed the inspections, and compacted the base correctly in this community enough times to know exactly what the inspector will check before they sign off. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-item quote that matches what the county will actually require.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up for Roofing in Boca Del Mar and every other job. When a homeowner on Verde Trail or along Camino Real calls about a failing paver driveway, the person who answers the phone knows the difference between a Boca Raton city permit and a Palm Beach County permit. That distinction matters more in Boca Del Mar than almost anywhere else in south Palm Beach County, because this is an unincorporated community. Pull the wrong permit, and your job stalls. We don’t make that mistake.
Boca Del Mar homeowners keep our number for a reason that has nothing to do with marketing. We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number, and every scope change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices after the fact. The 90-Day Done Right Promise sits on every contract, not in the fine print. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the kind of accountability a $7,000 to $18,000 driveway investment deserves.
Our local reputation in Boca Del Mar comes from showing up when we say we will, calling the county for the right permit the first time, and standing behind the finished job. We’re also the team in Boca Del Mar that answers the phone live, 24/7. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount, and we never charge a trip fee inside the county. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Boca Del Mar
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the most common request we get in Boca Del Mar, and they’re also the job most likely to fail when a contractor skimps on the base. Our Driveway & Pavers team builds on a minimum 4-inch compacted base, and on the high-water-table soils off Verde Trail and around the Mission Bay area, we typically go to 6 inches of crushed concrete wrapped in geotextile fabric. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers are our go-to brands because their products carry the documentation Palm Beach County inspectors want to see. A paver driveway in Boca Del Mar runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver style, and whether the driveway apron crosses the swale, which triggers a right-of-way permit.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Boca Del Mar have to contend with two things at once: our 2-to-4-foot water table and the county’s requirement for proper sub-base preparation. We pour with control joints cut the same day and use a compacted base that won’t heave when the summer storms soak the ground. Quikrete products show up on most of our concrete jobs, and stamped concrete driveways are a strong option for villas and single-family homes here where curb appeal matters, alongside our Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Del Mar. Expect $4,500 to $12,000 for a concrete driveway installation in Boca Del Mar.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works fine in Boca Del Mar, but it has a shorter service life on our wet, hot soils than pavers or concrete. If you’re resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway, the county still checks the base and drainage before they’ll sign off. Asphalt driveway paving in the 33433 ZIP runs $3,500 to $9,000, and we’ll tell you honestly if pavers or concrete are a better long-term buy for your specific lot.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Most driveway failures in Boca Del Mar trace back to the same root cause: a base that was never built for our water table. We see paver driveways with two inches of sand under them that have turned into wavy, sinking messes after one summer storm season. Replacing that correctly means tearing out the failed base, compacting in lifts, and sometimes adding a concrete collar at the garage apron, just as we do with our Bathroom Remodeling in Boca Del Mar. Driveway replacement in Boca Del Mar runs $5,000 to $14,000, and every permit and inspection gets handled by us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
We stock and install brands you can look up before you sign anything. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers cover most of our paver driveway work in Boca Del Mar, and we keep their current line cards and wind-load documentation on hand for county submissions.

If the manufacturer has a warranty that matters in a high-velocity hurricane zone, we’ll put it in writing and make sure the installation meets the spec that keeps that warranty valid.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Wrong permit pulled from the wrong jurisdiction. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, so construction permits route through Palm Beach County, not the City of Boca Raton. We’ve seen out-of-area contractors schedule a Boca Raton city inspection that never comes, leaving a half-finished paver driveway exposed for weeks.
- Undersized base on high water table soil. Our water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade in much of Boca Del Mar. A 2-inch sand base doesn’t cut it. The first summer storm turns that driveway into a wavy, sinking mess, and it voids the paver manufacturer’s warranty.
- Swale work without a right-of-way permit. If your driveway apron touches the swale, Palm Beach County requires a right-of-way permit. Skip it, and you’ll get a stop-work order plus a fee that wipes out whatever you saved on the cheapest quote.
- Missing change orders on scope creep. A job changes when the old base comes out and reveals what’s underneath. In Boca Del Mar, that’s often a hit of groundwater or failed soil. If that change isn’t on paper before work continues, you’re financing a surprise. We write every change order before a single shovel moves.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Boca Del Mar
Yes, in most cases. If your driveway touches the swale or the apron, Palm Beach County requires a right-of-way permit even for a same-footprint resurfacing job, because the county enforces a 4-inch compacted base under pavers on our high water table soils. A contractor who tells you to skip the permit is setting you up for a stop-work order. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific lot against the county’s current checklist before you spend a dollar.
Pavers themselves don’t carry a wind-load rating the way windows or roofs do, but the base and edge restraints under them have to meet Palm Beach County’s settlement and compaction checklist for high-velocity hurricane zones. A properly documented, inspected paver driveway gives your insurer one less reason to dispute a claim later, because the county sign-off proves the work met local code. Bring us your current policy and we’ll point out what a compliant driveway installation does for your documentation. Free estimates at (877) 610-1318.
No, it’s not true. In unincorporated Boca Del Mar, any driveway work that touches the swale triggers Palm Beach County’s right-of-way permit, regardless of whether the surface is pavers, concrete, asphalt, or gravel. The county inspector will enforce that on the final walk. We’ve watched homeowners get a stop-work order and a fee over exactly this dodge. Call (877) 610-1318 before you sign a contract, and we’ll tell you flat out what your job legally requires.
A draw schedule simply ties payments to completed phases: tear-out and base prep, paver installation, and final county inspection sign-off. It’s not a financing trick, it’s protection for both sides. In Boca Del Mar, where a wrong permit or a missed inspection can stall a job for weeks, a draw schedule keeps everyone honest about what’s done and what’s next. We put every draw on paper before work starts, with no unapproved changes ever. Questions about your quote? Call (877) 610-1318.
At minimum, 4 inches of compacted base is required by Palm Beach County on Boca Del Mar soils. On the high-water-table lots off Verde Trail and around Mission Bay, we go to 6 inches of crushed concrete wrapped in geotextile fabric, compacted in lifts. Anything less than that, and your driveway starts moving the first summer the ground saturates. Want a quote that includes the right base from day one? Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
