AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Lauderdale Lakes
Driveway and paver work in Lauderdale Lakes usually runs $3,500 to $18,000 depending on material and square footage, and most installations finish in three to seven days once permits clear. We’re the local crew that shows up when we say we will, with the scope in writing before a single paver gets set. If your driveway on NW 43rd Avenue is spalling or your patio pavers near the Lauderdale Lakes Municipal Complex have shifted out of plane, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk it together. No trip charge inside the county.
Lauderdale Lakes is not a new-construction town. It’s a fully built-out 1960s and 1970s community, and almost every hardscape job we do here is a repair, replacement, or code-driven retrofit on an older CBS home. That changes how we bid, how we excavate, and what we warn you about before the first cut. The water table out here can sit two to three feet below grade, which matters when we’re digging footers for a paver driveway or resetting a pool deck that’s been settling for four decades.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That’s not a slogan, it’s the reason folks in the 33313 ZIP code call us after a national outfit quoted one number and showed up with another. When we give you a driveway number, it’s a written line-item price, and if anything changes, you get a change order before the change happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Our crews work in Lauderdale Lakes every month, which means we know what the estimator needs to see before you commit. Original 1970s jalousie windows, rotted stucco over block, buried downspout lines that drain under existing slabs, HOA requirements in the residential clusters around NW 31st Avenue. We look for those on the first walkthrough, not after demolition starts. We carry the Belgard and Techo-Bloc lines because you should be able to look up the material we install. And everything we build here comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not right, Tom comes back.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. The spread is real: a compact two-car pad in a single-family CBS neighborhood costs less than a wider entry on a corner lot with herringbone pattern and a soldier-course border. Pavers handle our flat, low-elevation ground better than monolithic pours in one key way: they flex instead of crack when the limestone base settles. We over-excavate, lay geotextile fabric, and compact in lifts so you’re not seeing dips at the garage apron in three years.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Lauderdale Lakes generally land between $4,500 and $12,000 installed. We pour with a minimum 4,000 PSI mix, saw-cut control joints the same day, and schedule pours around afternoon thunderstorm patterns, which here means an early start. If you want a stamped finish with a slate or ashlar texture, add two to four dollars per square foot. We also handle walkways, patio slabs, and pool deck overlays throughout 33313, including homes around Oriole Golf and the older multifamily properties near Lauderdale Lakes Mall.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a full driveway in Lauderdale Lakes. It’s a practical choice for longer drives and rental property curbs, but it needs sealing every two to three years in our humidity and sun. If the base is still sound and the surface is alligatored, a 2-inch resurface usually buys another decade. We’ll tell you honestly whether your existing base is worth saving, because a resurface over failing base is just a receipt, not a fix.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Lauderdale Lakes falls in the $5,000 to $14,000 range depending on tear-out depth, haul-off, and whether we find buried downspouts or old irrigation lines underneath. Common here: concrete slabs turned into trip hazards by tree roots from mature ficus and oak, and paver drives with edge restraint that failed along the property line. We fix the drainage first. You can’t put a new surface over a water problem and expect it to last.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. On hardscape jobs in Lauderdale Lakes we quote Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because the color lots are consistent and the compressive strength is published. Over the years we’ve also carried GAF when a driveway job turns into a roof-to-wall connection question on the same house, which happens more than you’d think on these older CBS structures. Since we schedule Lauderdale Lakes work every month, parts and material runs stay quick and predictable. You won’t wait on a freight order unless you ask for a special-order paver.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Groundwater pushing up from the shallow water table. Two to three feet below grade in parts of Broward County means open excavation collects water fast. We pump continuously and compact in thinner lifts so the base stays stable. Skip that step and you get a paver drive with soft spots by the next rainy season.
- Root damage from mature ficus and live oak. These trees are everywhere in the older single-family sections near NW 40th Street and along the residential streets south of NW 26th Street. Roots lift slabs and destroy edge restraints. We root-barrier on every job where a tree sits within fifteen feet of the new hardscape.
- Failed 1970s driveway pours with no rebar. A lot of original driveways in Lauderdale Lakes were poured as plain slabs without proper reinforcement or control joints, and they’ve been cracked for years. Replacement means a full tear-out and a pour that meets current Florida Building Code, with inspections signed.
- HOA and permit compliance in multifamily-dense blocks. Lauderdale Lakes has a lot of rental apartment complexes and a handful of condominium associations. We pull permits on every eligible job and work with the association’s architect when a submittal is required. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way.

One note on the water table, because it directly shapes cost here. When we set footers or dig out a failing driveway base in Lauderdale Lakes, we often need a pump running the whole time. That’s not a surprise charge, it’s part of the written estimate up front, because we know the ground here. A contractor who doesn’t price for it is either new to the area or planning a change order.
If you’re also thinking about the house itself, our Home Additions & ADU in Lauderdale Lakes service handles attached additions and garage conversions on the same CBS-stock homes we hardscape around. And if the driveway is the last piece of a bigger plan, our Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes team works inside while pavers cure outside.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Lauderdale Lakes
We can usually get a written estimate to you within a few business days, and because we run jobs in Lauderdale Lakes monthly, start dates aren’t far behind once you approve the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put you on the schedule. The estimate is free, and there’s no trip charge anywhere inside Broward County.
Yes, we cover the entire 33313 ZIP code, from the single-family blocks around NW 31st Avenue to the areas along Oakland Park Boulevard near the commercial corridor, and everything between NW 43rd Avenue and the municipal neighborhoods to the east. If you’re in Lauderdale Lakes and you’ve got a driveway or paver project, we’ve got a crew that knows your block.
It can add to the prep work. When we’re digging in low-lying areas of Lauderdale Lakes, we often have to run a pump during excavation and adjust our base compaction to handle the moisture. We factor that into the written estimate before we start, so it never shows up as a surprise line item. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your property.
Not meaningfully. Material and labor costs track close to Lauderhill, Plantation, and Fort Lauderdale. What changes a quote more than city limits is what we find under the old surface: roots, buried downspouts, bad drainage, or an original 1970s slab with no reinforcement. That’s why we walk every job before we price it, and why the number we give you is line-by-line written, not a range off a national call center script.
Every driveway and paver job we install in Lauderdale Lakes carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing on the contract. If something is not right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. Materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and we’ll hand you the documentation for anything we install, whether it’s Belgard pavers or a GAF membrane under a walkway.
