Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Fullerton
A paver driveway in Fullerton typically runs $7,000-$18,000, while a concrete driveway lands between $4,500-$12,000, and most jobs are scheduled within two to three weeks of the estimate. If your current driveway is cracking along the expansion joints or the pavers have started sinking near the street apron, you’re dealing with what Fullerton’s thermal cycling does to flatwork across the 92833, 92834, and 92835 ZIP codes. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked enough driveways in this city to know exactly what you’re looking at. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fullerton’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Fullerton. That matters because the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person who’ll be on-site when the pavers go down. We don’t dispatch strangers from a call center. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, day or night.
Fullerton customers keep our number because we put scope in writing, allowances in writing, and change orders in writing. Every single one. The last contractor most of our Fullerton clients used told them permits were optional or that a handshake covered the extra two inches of base material. That’s not how we work. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, and every completed driveway is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
We also know Fullerton’s ground. The northwest side near the old Coyote Hills oil fields carries methane vapor testing requirements that out-of-area builders never see coming, and the historic core around downtown has soil conditions and setback quirks that reward local experience. Our Driveway & Pavers team has handled both.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Fullerton
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the most common request we get in east Fullerton, especially in the ranch-style tracts of 92835 where homeowners want something that holds up to the inland heat without showing every hairline crack. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers product lines with a proper compacted base, which means you won’t get the wavy surface that shows up two winters after a cheap install. A paver driveway in Fullerton is an investment in a surface that flexes with the soil instead of fighting it.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete still makes sense for a lot of Fullerton lots, particularly the long, straight driveways common in the 1950s-era neighborhoods east of Harbor Boulevard. We pour with proper slope so water moves away from the garage, and we include saw-cut control joints at the right spacing. Fullerton’s summer heat means concrete without proper curing will spider-crack within five years. We cure it right, and we’ll tell you honestly if stamped concrete is worth the upcharge for your specific property or if a clean broom finish is the smarter spend.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common for Fullerton’s single-family homes, but we do see it on longer rural-style driveways in the hillside areas and on some of the older properties south of Chapman Avenue. Resurfacing an asphalt driveway in Fullerton runs about $3,500-$9,000 depending on square footage and base condition. Asphalt needs sealing every two to three years in our climate because the dry heat accelerates oxidation, which is why we always walk homeowners through the maintenance schedule before we lay a single inch.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
We replace more driveways in Fullerton than we build new, and the pattern is consistent: the original pour from the 1960s or 70s has finally given up, or tree roots from Fullerton’s mature street canopy have pushed the slabs apart. A full driveway replacement in Fullerton runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on size, demo depth, and whether we’re matching existing walkways. We’ll gut-check whether repair is actually worth it before we quote you a replacement. Sometimes it isn’t.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fullerton
We stock and install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for Fullerton jobs because we’ve watched both hold color and edge integrity through a decade of Orange County sun. For concrete work we use Quikrete mixes rated for our thermal range, and we don’t substitute mystery material off a van to shave a margin. When you call for an estimate, we’ll show you the actual product samples, not a brochure photo.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Fullerton Homes
- Thermal cracking on concrete from inland heat. Fullerton runs noticeably hotter than coastal Orange County cities, and that daily expansion-contraction cycle is hard on flatwork. We see slabs that crack along stress points within five to seven years when the original pour didn’t include enough control joints.
- Paver settling near the street apron. The city’s street trees, particularly mature sycamores along the older neighborhoods near downtown, send roots sideways under driveway aprons. Pavers lift, tilt, and create trip hazards faster than most homeowners expect.
- Oil staining from the city’s car culture. Fullerton’s older homes often have narrow single-car driveways that double as maintenance bays. Decades of oil and transmission fluid drips leave asphalt soft and discolored, which shortens the life of any sealcoat.
- Drainage problems on hillside lots in 92835. The northern hillside areas get heavier sheet flow during winter rain, and a driveway that isn’t properly sloped or channeled turns into a miniature river heading for the garage. We fix grading as part of most hillside replacements.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Fullerton, CA
Here’s what Fullerton homeowners can expect to budget, based on jobs we’ve completed across the city’s ZIP codes:
- Paver driveway installation: $7,000-$18,000

What moves the number is square footage, demo and haul-off if you’re replacing, base prep depth, and whether the site has access constraints like narrow side yards in the older Fullerton neighborhoods.

Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. If you’ve got another contractor’s written estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion.
Key takeaways: Fullerton’s older housing stock and hotter inland climate mean driveway work here is different from coastal Orange County.

Our pricing is in writing, our permits are pulled, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the contract. If you’d rather have a driveway done by a company that answers its own phone, call us.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Fullerton
We schedule free estimates in Fullerton within a few business days, and often sooner if you’re flexible on time. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will get you on the calendar. There’s no trip charge inside the county.
Yes. We cover all four Fullerton ZIP codes: 92831 and 92832 around the downtown historic district, 92833 and 92834 in the central and southern neighborhoods, and 92835 in the northern hillsides. We’ve worked on Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranches, and hillside custom homes across the city.
Yes, and we pull it. Fullerton requires permits for driveway replacement and new hardscape work, particularly when it affects drainage or the public right-of-way at the apron. We handle the permit, the inspection, and the paperwork. The inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having them sign off.
Generally, no. Fullerton’s paver driveway pricing runs the same range as Anaheim and La Habra: $7,000-$18,000. What changes is the site condition. Fullerton’s older neighborhoods sometimes need more demo or base correction, and hillside lots in 92835 may require extra drainage work. You’ll see that broken out in our written estimate, not hidden in the final bill.
Every driveway and paver job we complete in Fullerton is covered by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, you call Tom directly and he comes back. For a longer project scope, we may also recommend a Home Addition & ADU or Kitchen Remodeling conversation that shares the same warranty standard. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and remember: estimates are free.
If your driveway is cracking, sinking, or just looks exhausted, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll come out, look at what you have, and tell you honestly what it’ll take to fix it right. Free estimate, no pressure, and a written number you can hold us to.
