AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Iona
If you’re looking at a cracked driveway or a tired patio in Iona, you’re probably wondering about real numbers: cost, timing, and whether the crew will actually show up. A paver driveway in Iona typically runs $7,000-$18,000, and a concrete driveway usually lands between $4,500-$12,000. Most jobs are quoted and scheduled within the same week we walk the property, not weeks later. Call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your driveway the way a neighbor would: on site, in person, with a written scope in hand.
Iona, FL isn’t a giant suburb. It’s a community where the streets sit low, the canal water runs close, and the driveways from the 1970s and 1980s have been through more than their share of salt air and storm seasons. We drive through the neighborhoods off McGregor Boulevard and along the side streets near the Caloosahatchee regularly enough to know which lots hold water after a heavy rain and which driveways were poured before current compacting standards mattered. That local knowledge changes what we recommend, and it changes what your quote actually covers.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Iona’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re not a franchise that flies a crew in from three counties away. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, with Tom Barrett and his sons on job sites most days. When we quote a paver driveway in Iona, the person who walks your property is the same person whose name is on the contract, and his address and license number are published where anyone can check them. That’s not a marketing claim; Tom invites you to look it up before you sign anything.
Customers in Iona call us for driveways because the quote they get is the price they pay. Every allowance, every scope change, every unexpected condition comes back as a written change order before a single stone moves. No surprises at the end. That matters here more than anywhere, because post-Ian FEMA rules and Lee County’s flood elevation codes have turned simple driveway replacements into projects that sometimes touch foundation drains and drainage regrading. You want a contractor who understands why a paver driveway in your part of 33906 might need a base that’s thicker than what the last bidder assumed.
We answer the phone. A live person picks up day or night, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. And our crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name are background-checked and uniformed on every visit in Iona.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Iona
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Iona make sense for lots of these homes because the blocks flex instead of crack when the sandy subgrade shifts with wet and dry seasons. We typically install Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers here because both hold their color in intense Gulf sun and resist the salt air that eats cheaper products. A properly built paver driveway in Iona runs $7,000-$18,000, with the base depth and drainage design being the two biggest variables in that range.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
For a budget-conscious replacement in Iona, concrete remains the workhorse. A new concrete driveway here typically runs $4,500-$12,000. The older Iona homes, especially the ranch-style concrete block houses built between the 1960s and 1980s, often have original slabs that have sunk near the garage approach or spider-webbed from decades of thermal cycles. We remove, regrade, and pour with proper control joints so the new slab drains instead of pooling.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Iona costs $3,500-$9,000 for a typical residential drive. It’s not as common as concrete in this part of Lee County because our heat softens thin asphalt bases over time. But for certain long, flat approaches off McGregor Boulevard where the visual of black asphalt works, we lay a thicker compacted base than the code minimum, specifically because the sandy loam here settles differently than interior county soil.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Iona starts around $5,000 and can reach $14,000 depending on square footage, base conditions, and whether drainage improvements are needed. We see a lot of cracked aprons where the city sidewalk meets the driveway, and edge spalling along grass lines that older Iona homes still have. If the damage is localized, a repair may be all you need; we’ll tell you honestly if replacement is the better use of your money.

Trusted Brands We Service in Iona
When you call us for a paver driveway or patio in Iona, you’ll hear specific brand names you can look up, not “whatever the supplier had.” We carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscape products, and for projects where a driveway touches a home addition or structural work, we also install premium GAF roofing and Schluter waterproofing systems. We keep these manufacturers’ specs in our trucks when we quote in Iona, and our local material orders from suppliers serving the 33906 area keep turnaround tight.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Iona Homes
- Settling at the garage apron: Many 1960s-1980s ranch homes in Iona sat directly on native sandy fill that was never properly compacted. Over 40-plus years, the apron drops and the slab tilts. We address this with proper removal and compacted base, not just a thin overlay.
- Salt-air etching on concrete: Homes closer to San Carlos Bay and the back canals get constant airborne salt that pits and stains exposed concrete faster than inland lots. We recommend sealed finishes that hold up better within a few blocks of the water.
- Drainage ponding after storms: Iona’s low elevation means many driveways hold water after even moderate rain. We grade toward the street or a dry well, and on some streets off McGregor we’ve had to coordinate with Lee County on swale requirements.
- Tree root heave from mature oaks: Older Iona neighborhoods have large oaks and palms whose roots push pavers and slabs upward. We cut roots cleanly where safe and install root barriers where a tree sits close to the driveway edge.
