Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and the crews that show up in Cypress are his sons and their teams, most days with Tom himself walking the site.

We’ll tell you honestly what it needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Driveway & Pavers Crew Cypress Calls
Most Cypress homes are slab-on-grade 1960s and 1970s tract builds, and driveways here rarely fail alone. A cracked driveway is often the first clue that expansive clay underneath is moving, and if you fix the flatwork without looking at grade or drainage, you’ll be back in the same spot in five years. We look at the whole picture before we quote. You won’t get a number from someone who’s never stood on your concrete.
Our Driveway & Pavers work in Cypress comes with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No phone tree, no regional manager. He’s the guy whose name is on the truck. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Response time to Cypress is honest: we schedule in days, not weeks, and we set a date we keep. Dispatch and scheduling run out of our Los Angeles office, but crews serve Cypress directly. You’ll deal with the same crew from estimate to final walkthrough.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Cypress
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Cypress typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. Pavers handle the clay-soil movement here better than solid concrete because individual units shift without cracking a full slab. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc, brands you can look up, on compacted base sections built for Orange County’s wet-dry seasonal cycling. You’ll see the exact paver and pattern before we order anything.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Cypress runs $4,500 to $12,000. The price moves with square footage, demo of the old pour, and what we find beneath. In Cypress, we routinely see original 1960s pours that were never reinforced, sitting on inches of shifting clay. We’ll tell you if your soil needs a compacted aggregate subbase before new concrete goes down. Stamped concrete options run on the higher end for the added finish work.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Cypress runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway usually lands on the lower half of that range. Asphalt works well on Cypress lots where a long, straight drive leads to a rear garage. It’s less common than concrete in the 1955-1980 tract neighborhoods, but when we do it, we mill, compact, and lay with proper crown so water never pools near the slab edge.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Cypress runs $5,000 to $14,000. Repair work like crack filling, section patching, or edge rebuilding is far less. Here’s what we tell Cypress homeowners: if your driveway has raised sections from clay heave, or you see a gap between the driveway and your garage slab, don’t just patch it. We’ll check whether the subgrade is stable before any new surface goes on, so you’re not paying twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cypress
On hardscapes, we install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. On related exterior work, you’ll see names like GAF on roofs and Andersen on windows when we tie a driveway project into a larger exterior scope. We don’t stock mystery brands off a van. We keep local inventory scheduling tight for Cypress jobs, and if a paver or edge restraint isn’t in the yard, we tell you the arrival date before you sign. No surprises.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Cypress Homes
- Clay heave from seasonal wet-dry cycles. Cypress sits on the flat northwestern Orange County alluvial plain, and the clay-heavy soil swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers. You’ll see raised cracks, offset sections, and a driveway that slopes toward the house after a few wet years.
- Original 1960s slabs with no reinforcement. A big portion of Cypress’s driveways were poured in the same tract boom as the homes, often with little or no rebar or wire mesh. Once a crack starts, soil moisture gets in and makes it worse every year.
- Water draining toward the garage or foundation. Flat lots near Cypress College and the surrounding tract loops make drainage tricky. If your driveway has settled, water can run toward the garage slab, and that’s a foundation problem waiting to happen.
- Paver edge failures from wrong base depth. We’re called into Cypress homes where a previous paver job used too little compacted base. Edges sink, pavers loosen, and weeds come through. Proper base depth here is not optional, it’s the whole job.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Cypress
A paver driveway in Cypress typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, depending on square footage, paver choice, and how much base work your existing soil needs.

Yes, we cover the full 90630, from the neighborhoods around Cypress College to the tract streets off Orange Avenue and Valley View.

We’ll give you a straight answer on whether your current driveway is worth saving.
It won’t change unless you change the scope, and if that happens you’ll get a written change order before any extra work begins. That’s the rule on every Cypress job. No surprise invoices at the end, no “we found something and had to cover it.” If we find a subgrade issue, we stop, we walk you through it, and we put the new number on paper before a single thing moves forward. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve been burned by verbal pricing before. You won’t be here.
Most concrete and paver driveway replacements in Cypress take two to five days once demo begins. Asphalt goes faster. The bigger variable is curing and weather, and we schedule around Cypress’s dry season when we can. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start, not a vague “sometime next week.”
