AfterDriveway & Pavers in Georgetown: What the Soil Under Your Street Actually Means for Your Bid
Driveway and paver work in Georgetown costs more than you’d expect if you’re comparing it to Round Rock or Hutto, and there’s a geological reason for it. Georgetown straddles the Balcones Escarpment, which means a paver driveway quote on the west side in 78628 often includes a rock-breaking line item for limestone ledge at 18 to 24 inches, while the same job on the east side in 78626 fights expansive shrink-swell clay that moves slabs and pops pavers over time. A paver driveway installation in Georgetown typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, a concrete driveway $4,500 to $12,000, and driveway sealing $250 to $700, depending on excavation conditions and square footage. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been grading, compacting, and paving through both of Georgetown’s soil profiles long enough to write the change order *before* the excavator hits the ledge, not after. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property with you before we ever hand you a number.

Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Georgetown
If you’re reading this from Sun City Texas in 78633, your Del Webb-built home is likely 15 to 25 years old now, which means that original concrete driveway has spent two decades absorbing Central Texas wet-dry cycles. If you’re in a newer Wolf Ranch or Morningstar home, the driveway may look fine, but the sub-base under the pavers or slab may have been the last thing the production builder spent money on. We know both situations because we’ve torn out both. Our Driveway & Pavers team serves all four Georgetown ZIP codes – 78626, 78627, 78628, and 78633 – and when you call, a live person answers, not a call center. Tom Barrett and his sons are on site most days, and they answer their own phone at (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Georgetown’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We started in 1998 and we’ve stayed owner-operated ever since, which matters when you’re spending $7,000 to $18,000 on a paver driveway and you want to know exactly who’s standing behind it. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. That’s not a marketing line – it’s a dare to look us up before you sign anything. Georgetown homeowners call us because our reviews from Sun City, Berry Creek, and Teravista neighbors say the same thing: the quote on paper matched the bill at the end, and when something wasn’t right, one call brought Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract, not buried in fine print. Our service area covers all of Georgetown, and no trip charge applies inside the county.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Georgetown
We handle the full scope of driveway and paver work across Georgetown, with crews who know the difference between digging in 78628’s limestone and grading through 78633’s clay.
Paver Driveways
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers are what we install most often in Georgetown because they handle our freeze-thaw-adjacent winters and brutal summers without fading like cheaper options. A paver driveway in Georgetown runs $7,000 to $18,000, with the biggest variable being what’s under your topsoil. On the west side near the San Gabriel River, we’ve hit limestone at 18 inches, which means rock excavation gets added as a written line item, not a surprise at the end.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A standard concrete driveway in Georgetown runs $4,500 to $12,000. What most homeowners don’t realize is that the expansive clay on the east side of town moves enough to crack inadequately reinforced slabs within five years. We pour with rebar spacing and control joints sized for Georgetown’s soil movement, not for a generic Central Texas standard. Stamped concrete driveways run on the higher end of that range due to the extra finishing work and color hardeners.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Georgetown typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential driveway, and resurfacing existing asphalt sits lower than a full tear-out. Georgetown’s intense summer heat softens asphalt faster than you’d see in northern states, which means sealcoating every two to three years is the difference between a 15-year surface and one that crumbles in eight.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Georgetown runs $5,000 to $14,000, depending on whether you’re pulling out an old concrete slab, regrading a heaving asphalt drive, or rebuilding a paver base that’s failed. A driveway that’s shifting or cracking in Georgetown usually isn’t just a surface problem – it’s a base problem. We repair the base, not just the top, because filling a crack over moving clay is like painting over a hole in the drywall.

If you’ve got Simonton or Ply Gem windows adjacent to your driveway or patio work, our team can coordinate the hardscape and the exterior openings in one schedule, pulling permits and inspections on both scopes. We also stock sealing products matched to Georgetown’s heat and clay conditions, so your driveway sealing job cures correctly even in August.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
– Limestone ledge stopping excavation short. In western Georgetown neighborhoods like those off Williams Drive in 78628, we routinely hit rock at 18 to 24 inches, which means your footer or paver base needs rock-breaking equipment. A contractor who doesn’t bid for that will either eat the cost or hand you a change order mid-job. We bid for it up front.
– Expansive clay heaving slabs and pavers. Georgetown’s Vertisol soils swell when wet and shrink in drought, and Central Texas drought cycles are severe. In 78626 and 78633, we see slabs and paver bases that have shifted enough to create trip hazards and drainage problems. Proper sub-base depth and compaction are the only cure.
– Sun City’s aging original driveways. Thousands of late-1990s and early-2000s Del Webb homes in 78633 are entering their first major driveway replacement cycle. The original concrete often lacks the reinforcement current code requires, and driveway sealing has been deferred for years, so surface spalling is common.
– Pool deck pavers separating from the coping. In newer Wolf Ranch and Morningstar homes where pools went in between 2015 and 2025, the paver deck around the pool can pull away from the coping as the clay underneath settles. We rebuild these decks with the correct sand and compaction so they stay put through Georgetown’s dry summers.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Georgetown
How fast can you get to my Georgetown home for an estimate?
We schedule free estimates across Georgetown every week, and you’ll get a live person when you call (877) 610-1318. Since dispatch and scheduling coordinate from our Austin office and crews serve Georgetown locally, most homeowners see us on-site for a walkthrough within a few days.

Do you cover every Georgetown neighborhood?

Our crews know the intersection of Williams Drive and I-35 as well as the back roads out toward the San Gabriel River.
What does a paver driveway cost in Georgetown compared to nearby cities?
A paver driveway in Georgetown runs $7,000 to $18,000, which is often slightly higher than the same job in Round Rock or Hutto because of Georgetown’s limestone ledge on the west side and expansive clay on the east. Excavation conditions in 78628 can require rock-breaking that a flat-prairie lot in Hutto wouldn’t need. That’s not a markup – that’s geology.
Will the price change once work starts?
Not without a written change order in your hand first. If we hit something unexpected during excavation – and in Georgetown, that’s usually limestone or older utility lines – we stop and write up the change before any new work proceeds. That’s the policy on every Barrett & Sons job, and it’s why homeowners who’ve been burned by change-order surprises call us. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put every allowance and assumption on paper before we mobilize.
Do you offer a warranty on driveway and paver work in Georgetown?
Every driveway and paver job we complete in Georgetown carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That’s in addition to the manufacturer warranties on the pavers and materials we install, and we’ll walk you through both before you sign.
