AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Dallas
If you’re searching for driveway and paver work in Dallas, here’s the straight answer: paver driveway installation in this market typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, concrete driveways $4,500 to $12,000, and a full driveway replacement lands between $5,000 and $14,000. What actually determines your number is how your soil was prepped, what material you choose, and whether your current slab has cracked under Dallas’s black gumbo clay. Barrett & Sons Construction has been doing this work long enough to know the difference between a driveway that looks good for two years and one that holds up for twenty. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property, talk straight about what you need, and hand you a written number before any work begins.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Dallas’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett put his name on this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a trade where national outfits quote one price over the phone and show up with another. Around Dallas, we’ve built a reputation the old way: the crew that shows up is the crew you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday. Our Driveway & Pavers team is led by Tom’s sons, not subcontracted labor. Every scope, every allowance, every change arrives as a written change order before a single paver moves. That’s not a pitch. It’s the way we’ve worked for 29 years.
Dallas homeowners in neighborhoods like Kessler Park, Oak Cliff, and the M Streets have called us for everything from paver patios to full driveway replacements. They stay with us because the permit gets pulled, the inspector signs off, and if something isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. No fine print. We also offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. If you’re comparing numbers, bring us theirs. We’ll tell you honestly what’s fair.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Dallas
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Dallas have to contend with soil that expands and contracts inches every season. We compact and prep the base to handle that movement, then install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with edge restraints that keep everything locked in place. A standard two-car paver driveway here runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on paver grade, pattern complexity, and how much base work your existing grade requires.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in Dallas is a different animal than concrete in Houston or Austin. The clay here demands proper subgrade compaction and often post-tensioned or reinforced slabs to resist cracking. We pour driveways, walkways, and stamped concrete surfaces that range from $4,500 to $12,000 for a typical residential driveway. Stamped concrete is popular in neighborhoods like Lakewood and Preston Hollow where homeowners want the paver look at a concrete price point.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Dallas runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard driveway, and resurfacing an existing asphalt drive comes in lower. The challenge here is the summer heat: asphalt laid in July needs different rolling and cooling windows than asphalt laid in March. We schedule asphalt work around the weather, not the calendar, because 100°F stretches will soften fresh asphalt if it’s not given time to cure properly.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Most driveway repairs we see across Dallas trace back to one thing: water and clay. Cracks that open in the summer let rain in during the fall, the clay swells, and the slab heaves. We remove and replace failed sections rather than smearing patch over a structural problem. Full driveway replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000 in this market. If you’re not sure whether your driveway needs repair or replacement, call us. We’ll tell you the truth, even when the truth is that you’ve got a few more years left.

Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For driveway and paver work in Dallas, that means Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, both of which hold up to the freeze-thaw and clay-movement cycles we get here. When applicable, we also work with Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT on window and door upgrades that complement hardscape projects. Because we stock and source locally, Dallas homeowners aren’t waiting on a warehouse three states away. You call us, we give you a written material spec, and you verify it yourself before signing anything.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Clay-driven slab heaving: Dallas sits on expansive black clay that swells after heavy rain and shrinks during drought. Driveways poured without proper base prep crack and shift, sometimes visibly, within the first five years.
- Summer heat spalling: Sustained 100°F-plus stretches cause concrete to cure too fast on the surface while staying plastic underneath. That leads to spalling, flaking, and a driveway that looks decades old after one season.
- Infill construction on narrow lots: The teardown-and-infill boom in areas like 75201 and 75204 means new driveways are often poured on lots where old foundations and utilities weren’t fully cleared. We locate and plan around that before we ever break ground.
- Post-tension cable risk during demo: Many Dallas slabs, including garages and some driveway apron tie-ins, contain high-tension steel cables. Cutting one while doing driveway or patio work is catastrophically dangerous. We locate cables before any saw-cutting happens. This is not a DIY job. If you’re doing demo yourself, call a professional before you cut.

Concrete driveways in Dallas can work well if the subgrade is prepped correctly and the slab is reinforced where needed, typically starting around $4,500. Pavers actually handle clay movement better because individual units flex with the ground instead of cracking as a single slab. Paver driveways start around $7,000. The right choice depends on your lot, your drainage, and your budget. We’ll walk you through it without pushing the more expensive option.
Generally yes, with small differences. Material delivery is local, and our labor rates don’t change by ZIP code. The bigger factor is your specific site conditions: slope, existing slab condition, and drainage. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Every job comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. Beyond that, paver manufacturers like Belgard and Techo-Bloc carry their own material warranties, and we register those for you so you’re covered. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put the warranty terms in writing before you sign.
