Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Melrose Park’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract.

Our Driveway & Pavers team includes Tom’s sons and background-checked crew members who carry the Barrett name on their shirts and their work. We’ve replaced driveways throughout the 33308 zip code and know what the county inspector will look for before we ever pour.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Melrose Park
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Melrose Park costs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pattern, and whether we’re starting from bare dirt or tearing out an old slab. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they hold up to salt air and afternoon thunderstorms better than mystery brands off a van. Every paver job includes a compacted base, edge restraint, and polymeric sand in the joints. Near the Intracoastal, we push for sealed joints on every driveway, because unsealed joints wick salt moisture into the sand base and you get efflorescence, weeds, and shifting pavers within a couple of years.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Melrose Park runs $4,500 to $12,000. We pour 4,000 PSI concrete with fiber mesh and epoxied rebar for homes in the 33308 zip code, because the salt air here corrodes uncoated rebar and spalls the slab from the inside out. We also handle walkways, pool decks, and stamped concrete. Stamped concrete looks sharp, but the sealer needs reapplication more often this close to the water, and we’ll tell you that up front so you budget for it.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000 in Melrose Park. Asphalt works fine here if the base is right, and we don’t skimp on base rock because the high water table means poorly compacted stone sinks and you get ruts that hold saltwater puddles. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive can buy you another five to eight years when the base is still solid, and we’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Melrose Park runs $5,000 to $14,000. We see a lot of 1950s through 1970s CBS homes where the original concrete has spalled from corroded rebar, and patching it just buys time. When a driveway is too far gone, we pull the permit, tear it out, and pour fresh. Every scope, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprise invoices at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in Melrose Park
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers plus premium concrete additives, because those are materials you can look up. Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI are names we know well from window and door work, and the same philosophy applies to driveways: named products, verifiable specs, nothing generic. When you’re spending five figures on a paver driveway in Melrose Park, you should know exactly what’s going into the ground.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Melrose Park Homes
- Salt corrosion on rebar and metal edging. Uncoated steel inside concrete spalls the slab from within within a few years of Intracoastal exposure. We spec epoxied rebar and stainless fasteners where the salt air hits hardest.
- Unsealed paver joints wicking moisture. Paver joints left open pull salt moisture into the sand base, causing efflorescence, weed growth, and pavers that shift after heavy summer rain. Sealing is not optional near the water.
- Base compaction failure from the high water table. Melrose Park’s low elevation means poorly compacted base rock settles under driveway pavers and creates ruts. We over-excavate and compact in lifts so the base stays put.
- County inspection timing exposing fresh work. Unfamiliar Broward County permit workflows can leave fresh concrete or pavers exposed to afternoon thunderstorms before curing or sand lock completes. We schedule inspections the day the work is ready, so nothing gets ruined by a delay.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Melrose Park
No, sealing an existing driveway does not require a permit. Sealing is maintenance, and you can do it any time without involving the Broward County Building Division. But anything that changes the driveway’s footprint or structure, like a tear-out, a re-pour, or a new paver base, does need a county permit. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you up front whether your job needs one.
Salt air near the Intracoastal corrodes standard metal edging and unsealed rebar faster, so we spec epoxied rebar, stainless fasteners, and sealed joints on coastal jobs. Those materials cost more up front but prevent spalling and joint failure that would require a redo within a decade. The cheaper inland spec ends up costing more when it fails early.
In most Melrose Park cases, no. The old concrete slab has usually cracked or spalled from years of salt air and ground movement, and laying pavers over it just transfers those cracks upward. The right approach is a full tear-out, a properly compacted base, and new pavers. We’ll tell you honestly if your slab is sound enough to reuse.
Salt air accelerates wear on the sealer, so stamped concrete in Melrose Park needs re-sealing more often than it would in Davie or points west. The color also fades faster near the water. We’ll give you a realistic maintenance schedule and include the sealer type in your written estimate so you know what you’re getting.
Yes. Because Melrose Park is unincorporated, the county inspector can check base compaction, depth, and edge restraint before the final sign-off. We don’t skip that step. Our crews pull county permits, schedule county inspections, and get the sign-off done so you never sit through a failed inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Salt Air Decides the Materials on Your Melrose Park Driveway
We tore out a 1960s CBS driveway near the 33308 stretch where salt air had corroded the rebar until the slab spalled in chunks. The homeowner had been told the concrete was fine, but the rebar inside was dust. We poured a new 4,000 PSI drive with fiber mesh, epoxied rebar, and a sealed joint pattern, then worked through the county inspection sign-off so there were no surprises. That’s the difference between a contractor who knows Melrose Park and one who just drives into town.
What to Expect When You Call
A live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center.

If the scope changes, we bring you a written change order before work proceeds. If anything isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise brings Tom back.
