AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Maywood
Driveway and paver work in Maywood means something different than it does in Bell or Huntington Park. The lots are tight, the permits come from LA County, and the old concrete sometimes holds surprises. We know that before we show up. Barrett & Sons Construction has been doing hardscape work in Maywood’s 90270 ZIP long enough that we plan for the county inspection timeline, the 25-foot-wide staging problem, and the neighbor’s wall sitting four feet from your property line. If you’re ready to talk through a paver driveway, a concrete replacement, or a repair quote, call Tom’s team at (877) 610-1318. A live person answers, every time.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Maywood’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say we know Maywood, here’s what that actually means. We’ve pulled driveway permits through LA County Building and Safety for years, not months. We understand that a Maywood job on a 30-foot lot means hand-carrying pavers through a side gate because there’s nowhere to park a forklift. And we’ve learned that the drainage inspection on a flat Maywood lot is where jobs get held up if the grading wasn’t thought through from day one.
Every Maywood customer gets the same written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, Tom comes back. One call. No argument. Our reviews from Maywood homeowners mention the same things: the crew showed up when promised, the written change orders matched the final bill, and the permit inspector signed off without drama. You can look up Tom’s name, our address, and our license number before you sign anything. We’d want you to.
We coordinate scheduling from our Los Angeles office, and our crews serve Maywood locally. When you call, you’re not reaching an out-of-state call center. You’re reaching a person who can answer questions about county permit timelines for 90270 because they’ve actually dealt with them.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Maywood
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Maywood typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pattern complexity, and how much of the old slab has to come out first. On a narrow Maywood lot, we often recommend permeable pavers. They handle the flat, paved drainage conditions better than solid concrete because water moves through the joints instead of pooling against your house or a shared wall. Belgard and Techo-Bloc are the brands we stock most for Maywood jobs, and they’re materials you can look up yourself.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Maywood averages $4,500 to $12,000. The price moves based on whether we’re tearing out an existing slab, how thick the pour needs to be, and whether the county requires an engineered drainage plan. On Maywood’s alluvial soil, we won’t pour without checking the base compaction first. That’s not an upsell. That’s the difference between a driveway that cracks in three years and one that doesn’t.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt isn’t as common in Maywood as concrete and pavers, but we do handle resurfacing for homeowners who want a lower-cost refresh. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard Maywood driveway. Resurfacing over an existing asphalt base costs less than a full rebuild, but only if the sub-base is still solid. We’ll tell you straight if it isn’t.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Maywood runs $5,000 to $14,000. What drives the number? The width of your access, the condition of what’s underneath the old slab, and whether asbestos testing on the existing concrete comes back positive. We’ve replaced enough 1950s and 1960s driveways in Maywood to know that the original slab is often the only route to the backyard. That changes how we schedule demolition, staging, and cleanup. We plan for it before we give you a number, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers most often in Maywood because they hold up to the flat, heat-reflective, occasionally flooded conditions this city throws at them. We also work with Simonton windows and PGT impact products when a Maywood driveway project includes a garage or exterior upgrade. When a Maywood customer needs a specific paver color or pattern matched, we can source it fast because we keep relationships with local supply yards that serve the 90270 area. The point is: named brands, not mystery materials off a van.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Crumbling 1950s concrete with no expansion joints. Maywood’s postwar bungalows were built fast, and the driveways were poured to match. Decades of heat expansion and the occasional hard winter rain have left many slabs cracked, spalled, and uneven. Replacement usually requires full demo, not a patch job.
- Drainage that sends water toward the foundation. Maywood is flat and heavily paved. When a driveway slopes the wrong way, winter rain pools against the house or a shared wall footing. We regrade and engineer permeable joints so water moves off the property instead of into it.
- Asbestos in old concrete or asphalt patches. Homes built before 1980 in Maywood often have asbestos fibers mixed into old concrete, asphalt, or the patches layered over them. Grinding or breaking that material without testing can stop a job at the first county inspection. We test before we cut.
- Wrong permit assumptions from out-of-area contractors. A driveway permit in Maywood doesn’t come from a city counter. It’s filed with LA County Building and Safety. Contractors who assume Maywood works like Bell or Huntington Park under-budget the timeline and leave homeowners waiting.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Maywood, CA
Here’s what we quote for Maywood driveway work. These are real ranges, not “call for pricing” placeholders.
| Service | Maywood Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |

What moves the number? Access. On a 25-to-40-foot-wide Maywood lot, if the driveway is the only route to the backyard, materials get hand-carried. That’s labor time. If the county requires an encroachment permit for staging on Slauson or Atlantic, that’s a line item. If asbestos testing is needed, that’s another. We put all of it in writing before work starts. No allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through the line items.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Maywood
LA County Building and Safety issues driveway permits in Maywood’s 90270 ZIP. The city outsourced its permitting function after its 2010 fiscal collapse, so you’re filing through the county’s regional office, not a Maywood counter. Inspectors cover a much wider jurisdiction, and inspection timing differs from what you’d see in Bell or Huntington Park, which run their own departments. We schedule around the county’s calendar on every Maywood job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the current turnaround.
It changes everything about material staging and access. On a lot that narrow, the driveway is usually the only path from the street to the back. We can’t park a material truck on the property and run a forklift. Pavers get hand-carried through a side gate or over the existing driveway in wheelbarrows. That’s slower, and it means we plan the paver layout around pedestrian flow, drainage, and vehicle turning radius, not just aesthetics. We’ll show you a layout that works on your exact lot width before we order a single pallet.
Yes, and it’s more common than homeowners expect. Driveways poured or patched before 1980 in Maywood can contain asbestos fibers in the concrete mix, the asphalt patches, or the sealants layered on top. Breaking or grinding that material releases dust, which is why LA County inspectors look for testing documentation on demo work. We test before we cut, and if asbestos is present, we coordinate abatement before the tear-out begins. It adds time and cost, but it’s not optional. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes testing if your home predates 1980.
Because the permit doesn’t come from a Maywood city counter, and the county’s process is a separate line item with its own fees and scheduling delays. On a 30-foot lot off Slauson Avenue, we once had to close one lane for two hours under a county-issued encroachment permit just to stage a paver delivery. That permit, the county filing fees, and the inspection coordination all appear on your written quote. We don’t bury them, and we don’t pretend they don’t exist. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
You can, and some contractors will, but we won’t. Maywood sits on alluvial soil near the Los Angeles River with liquefaction potential in a seismic event. That means base compaction matters more here than it does on firmer ground a few miles north. We compact the sub-base, check drainage slope, and often include a reinforced base spec that standard driveway quotes skip. It’s the difference between a slab that holds for 20 years and one that cracks after two winters. For an exact quote on your property, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free.
