AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Manor
Driveway and paver work in Manor runs into one issue more than any other: the Blackland Prairie clay under your home moves. A paver driveway in Manor typically costs $7,000 to $18,000, and a concrete driveway runs $4,500 to $12,000. If you’re calling around, you’ll hear those numbers from a few places. What separates a job that lasts from a job that cracks in three years is the base preparation, and that’s where our team at Barrett & Sons Construction spends the extra time. We’ve worked in ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, and the newer subdivisions off FM 973, and we know what this soil does when a dry summer follows a wet spring. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property with you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Manor’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still shows up on job sites in Manor with his sons running the crews. That matters because the person quoting your driveway is the person who answers when you call about it later. We publish our name, our address, and our license number because the last thing anyone in Manor needs after a builder-grade driveway fails is an anonymous crew in unmarked trucks.
Manor homeowners keep calling us for a simple reason: when a driveway heaves or a paver patio sinks, they want someone who already knows the soil, the drainage patterns, and the builder shortcuts common in this town’s rapid-growth subdivisions. We’ve seen the warranty-era slab cracks and the driveway edges that crumble because the original pour was thin and the base was rushed. Our Driveway & Pavers crew brings that local history to every estimate we write.
Every job we do in Manor gets a written change order before any scope changes, permits pulled when they’re required, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We also answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, from a live person, not an out-of-state call center. Manor is twenty minutes from our scheduling office, and we treat it like our own backyard.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Manor
We handle everything from a basic concrete pour to a full paver driveway with proper drainage. Here’s what we do most often around Manor.
Paver Driveways
Manor homeowners choose pavers when they want a driveway that won’t crack from clay movement the way a solid slab can. Individual pavers flex at the joints, so when the ground shifts during a wet winter, the surface adjusts instead of splitting. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, brands you can look up, on compacted, properly graded bases. A paver driveway in Manor runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver style, and whether we’re correcting drainage underneath.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete is still the workhorse in Manor’s subdivisions. The key here is what’s under it. Post-tension slabs and proper rebar placement matter, but so does the base material and slope. We pour concrete driveways at $4,500 to $12,000 for a standard two-car approach, and we pay extra attention to perimeter drainage because standing water against a slab on Blackland Prairie clay is a slow-motion failure. Stamped concrete is an option if you want the look of stone without paver pricing.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works well in Manor’s climate if the base is built right, and that’s the problem with most residential asphalt here. The base gets skimped, the surface goes down thin, and the Texas sun plus clay movement turns it into a cracked, crumbling mess in five years. We install asphalt driveways at $3,500 to $9,000 and resurface existing asphalt at competitive rates. If your current asphalt is more patch than pavement, come out and look at the base before we quote you.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
If your driveway is cracking along the edges, sinking in the middle, or holding water against your slab, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a repair or a replacement. Driveway repair in Manor can be as low as a few hundred dollars for targeted fixes, while a full replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000. The deciding factor is usually what we find underneath when we pull up the old surface. Foundation heave, drainage failure, and cheap base material account for most of what we see in Manor’s newer subdivisions.

Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
We carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on our Driveway & Pavers jobs, the same brands you’ll find specified on high-end projects across the Austin metro. For concrete and drainage work, we use GAF-rated waterproofing products where grade-level moisture protection matters, and Schluter systems for any adjoining slab or transition details. If you want a paver driveway that matches the color and texture of a patio or walkway, we can match it. We don’t show up with mystery materials off a van, and every product we install has a name you can verify before we start.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Manor Homes
Manor’s growth spurt means a lot of homes were built fast on soil that moves. Here’s what we see repeatedly, and what it usually means for your driveway or patio.
- Edge cracking and slab heave. The Blackland Prairie clay expands in wet weather and contracts in drought. Driveways poured without deep enough base or proper expansion joints crack within the first few years of occupancy. In newer Manor subdivisions, this often shows up alongside foundation hairline cracks inside the house.
- Drainage failures against the slab. We see driveways and patios sloped toward the house in Manor because lot grading was rushed. Water pools at the garage door or against the foundation, and that moisture feeds the clay expansion. Correcting the slope is usually cheaper than fixing what the water does later.
- Paver settling and sinking. A paver surface is only as good as its base. If the original install skipped the compacted aggregate layer or put it down too thin, the pavers sink unevenly within a couple of seasons. We rebuild these the right way, and the difference is visible within a year.
- Thin builder-grade driveways. Many Manor tract homes got a driveway poured as fast and thin as the budget allowed. Those surfaces start spalling and cracking within five to seven years. We replace them with properly reinforced pours built for Central Texas conditions.
