AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Lauderhill
A paver driveway in Lauderhill typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, while a new concrete driveway ranges $4,500 to $12,000, and most jobs wrap up within five to ten working days once excavation clears the muck layer. If you’re off State Road 7, Inverrary, or the 33310 corridor, we’re close by. We know the ground under your feet here, and that matters more in Lauderhill than almost anywhere else in Broward County. Call Tom’s team at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for the soil, the drainage, and the permit office before we ever put a shovel in the ground.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve been doing this since 1998, and the name on the truck is the name that answers the phone. Tom Barrett owns this company, his sons run the crews, and they’re the ones you’ll see walking your driveway line with a tape measure before any quote goes out. No national outfit with a call center in another state. No anonymous subcontractor showing up.
Lauderhill homeowners call us because the estimate we give is the price we build to, and every scope change lands on paper as a written change order before a single paver moves. That’s not marketing language. It’s how we’ve worked for 29 years. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number because he wants you to verify before you sign.
We also answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail box. When a Lauderhill driveway starts ponding after an afternoon thunderstorm in July, you want to talk to someone who knows where Inverrary is, not someone reading a script in another time zone.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Lauderhill
We focus on the work Lauderhill actually needs. That means paver driveways, concrete driveways and concrete work, and driveway repair and replacement. Here’s what each one looks like when we do it here.
Paver Driveways
Lauderhill sits on former Everglades sawgrass marsh. The water table is often two to three feet below grade. That means a paver driveway installed the way they’d do it in Plantation, without proper excavation and a geotextile separator, will sink and shift within two wet seasons. We dig out the saturated muck layer, lay a crushed-limestone base, and install interlocking pavers with a permeable joint system that lets stormwater drain into the sandy subgrade instead of pooling on top. Interlocking concrete pavers hold up to South Florida’s heat and daily rain far better than poured slabs when the base is done right.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A concrete driveway in Lauderhill needs a compacted base that accounts for a fluctuating water table. We pour driveways, walkways, and small slabs with proper subgrade preparation, control joints cut at the right intervals, and a finish that handles both foot traffic and the occasional pump truck. For homeowners who want the look of stone without the cost of full pavers, stamped concrete is a solid option, and we do that too.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt can work in Lauderhill, but only if the subbase is sound. Resurfacing over a failed concrete slab traps groundwater and leads to alligator cracking and potholes that get worse with every afternoon storm, especially in the low-lying areas west of State Road 7. We evaluate the existing base before recommending asphalt resurfacing, and we’ll tell you honestly if a tear-out is the smarter long-term move.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Cracked slabs, sunken pavers, and heaving asphalt are common calls from Lauderhill homeowners. We handle spot repair where it’s viable, and full replacement where the subgrade has failed. Every replacement includes excavation to stable soil, not just a cap poured over the problem. Our Driveway & Pavers team does this work across Broward County every week, so we know what the permit office will ask for before you do.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they’re brands you can look up and verify. Not mystery material off a van. If you’re in Lauderhill and want a specific paver style or color, we can source it locally and have it on your job fast. We stock common replacement parts and keep relationships with local suppliers so a paver driveway off NW 47th Avenue doesn’t stall waiting on material from out of state. Impact window brands like PGT and CGI show up on many Lauderhill retrofit jobs, and while driveway work rarely touches windows, we’re familiar with the full scope of what a pre-Andrew home needs once a permit gets pulled.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Sinking pavers from skipped excavation. A contractor who pours or lays directly over the two to three foot saturated muck layer saving a day of digging will deliver a driveway that settles unevenly within two wet seasons. You’ll see trip hazards, ponding, and pavers that rock underfoot.
- Longitudinal cracks in concrete slabs. Concrete poured on former Everglades peat without a compacted base develops cracks and spalling at the edges as the water table rises and falls. A full tear-out and repour is the fix, and it costs more than doing the base right the first time.
- Alligator cracking in asphalt. Broward afternoons bring rain almost every day in summer. Asphalt over a failed subbase traps groundwater, and the surface cracks in that distinctive alligator pattern. Every storm makes it worse.
- Ponding that code inspectors flag. Lauderhill’s flat terrain and shallow water table mean drainage is a code issue on driveway work. If water pools against the slab or runs toward the house, the inspector will catch it. We design for positive drainage from the first stake-out.

What moves the number on a Lauderhill job? Excavation depth is the big one. If we’re digging out two feet of muck and hauling in base rock, that’s a real line item, and we write it in the estimate so you see it before you sign. Paver choice also matters: premium Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers run higher than standard concrete pavers. And square footage drives the total, obviously. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’ll walk your property, measure the grade, and give you a written, line-item quote. No trip charge inside the county.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Lauderhill
Lauderhill was built on former Everglades sawgrass marsh, and the water table sits two to three feet below grade across much of the city. Geotextile fabric keeps the crushed-limestone base from mixing with the saturated muck below, and extra base rock gives the driveway enough structural fill to handle both the water table and vehicle loads. Contractors who skip that line item are quoting a driveway that will fail. Call (877) 610-1318 to get an estimate with the excavation and base work on paper, and ask any other bidder why theirs doesn’t include it.
Yes, a new driveway or a full replacement generally requires a permit in Lauderhill, and the permit pulls in other compliance items depending on your home. Because most Lauderhill housing stock is pre-1992 Sadkin-era CBS construction, the building department often flags original jalousie windows or other non-compliant items when a renovation permit is opened. That’s why we pull permits on every eligible job, and why we walk you through what a permit will trigger before you commit to a scope. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a straight answer on what your specific job will trigger.
Technically you can, and plenty of driveways in Lauderhill have a cap on them. We don’t recommend it. A cap over a slab that’s cracked because the subbase failed will crack again, usually within a year or two, and then you’re paying for a tear-out plus the cap you already wasted money on. We’ll tell you when a cap makes sense and when it doesn’t. Call (877) 610-1318 for an honest assessment, and the estimate is free.
Hurricane season runs June through November, and it creates real pressure on permitted work. Structural and drainage permits need to be closed out before peak storm exposure, and afternoon thunderstorms slow excavation and concrete pours. We schedule Lauderhill driveway jobs with that calendar in mind, and we’ll tell you up front if your start date needs to shift around weather. The final inspection sign-off on a driveway off NW 47th Avenue came a week before the June hurricane-season permit deadline last year. That’s the kind of scheduling we plan for. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
It can, and that’s a Lauderhill-specific reality we warn every homeowner about before the permit gets pulled. Many Sadkin-era homes here still have original jalousie windows that don’t meet current Broward County hurricane-impact glazing rules. When you open a renovation permit for a driveway, the building department may flag those windows and require them to be addressed, which adds cost and scope you didn’t plan for. That’s exactly why an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We write those contingencies into our estimates so you know the full picture before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through it with you.
