AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Miramar
Driveway and paver work in Miramar runs $3,500 to $18,000 depending on the surface, the size, and what’s underneath the old slab. Most of the driveways we replace in Miramar’s 33023 corridor weren’t built for the water table we actually have here, which is why they crack, sink, and heave years before they should. We’ve been pulling up old concrete and setting pavers in this city long enough to know exactly what’s down there before we quote. Our Driveway & Pavers team works throughout Miramar, and we answer the phone when you call: (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miramar’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re an owner-operated company, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck and the contract. His sons run the crews. When you see us tearing out a cracked driveway off Miramar Parkway, you’re not looking at a franchise dispatching strangers. You’re looking at the people who will answer if you call with a question in July or January.
Miramar homeowners have a specific kind of project, and we’ve seen it hundreds of times. A 1960s CBS ranch with an original driveway that has no base, no drainage, and a water table sitting a few feet below the slab. We don’t quote those jobs blind. We walk the property, check the grade, and tell you what’s actually going on before any number lands on paper. Our Driveway & Pavers in Miramar reputation is built on showing up, writing the scope down, and standing behind it for 90 days after the last paver is set.
Every price change on every Miramar job arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we keep a five-figure paver driveway from becoming a six-figure surprise. And every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed, because the inspector works for you, not for me.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Miramar
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Miramar’s 33023 neighborhoods costs $7,000 to $18,000. The spread depends on square footage, paver brand (we install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers regularly), and how much excavation the existing slab requires. In the older blocks off Miramar Parkway, most original slabs sit directly on saturated limestone with no gravel base, so we excavate to proper depth, lay a geotextile separator, compact a drainage layer, and set pavers rated for Broward County’s high water table. If we skip that base work, you get a driveway that looks great for eighteen months and then sinks.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
New poured concrete driveways in Miramar run $4,500 to $12,000 depending on thickness, reinforcement, and finish. For many 33023 homes, a properly poured slab with control joints and a vapor barrier is the right call, especially where the driveway ties into a CBS garage wall. We saw-cut expansion joints, dowel into existing slabs where it makes sense, and pitch everything away from the foundation, because a flat slab against a pre-Andrew CBS wall is a water intrusion problem waiting for a hurricane season.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Miramar runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway is on the lower end of that. But asphalt over an old limestone base with no drainage layer won’t survive here. The June-November storms push water up through capillary action, and the surface delaminates into potholes inside two or three wet seasons. We tell Miramar customers exactly when asphalt makes sense and when pavers or concrete will outlast it by a decade.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Miramar ranges from $5,000 to $14,000, and the final number depends on what we find when the old surface comes up. A lot of 33023 driveways hide surprises: buried utility lines, old septic runs, or a slab poured directly on saturated limestone with no base at all. We handle those findings with a written change order before anything moves, so the number you approve is the number you pay. No allowances that aren’t on paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miramar
We install and service paver and concrete brands homeowners can look up: Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, Oldcastle, and Quikrete products depending on the project. Using named brands isn’t about branding. It’s about you being able to verify what you’re paying for. When we quote a paver driveway in Miramar, the manufacturer is on the line item. If you want to check specs, load ratings, or color warranty, you can. We’d rather you do that than wonder what came off the back of a truck. For most 33023 paver jobs, we order directly from local South Florida suppliers, which keeps turnaround tight and lets us match paver lots if you add a patio or walkway later.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Miramar Homes
- Paver heaving and sinking within two years. Older 33023 homes often have original slabs with no compacted base above the shallow water table. Wet-season downpours wash the sand out from under the pavers, and the surface drops. The fix is excavation and a proper base, not another layer of sand.
- Concrete cracking at the wall junction. Driveways and walkways poured against pre-Andrew CBS walls crack when the slab moves independently of the structure. Those seams become trip hazards and fail Broward County final inspections. We cut proper isolation joints and dowel where needed.
- Asphalt delaminating after two wet seasons. Resurfacing over an old limestone base traps water that rises through capillary action every time it rains hard. The surface peels, potholes form, and the punch list fails. We won’t resurface without checking the base first.
- Stormwater ponding against the garage wall. Many original 1960s driveways were pitched flat or toward the house. In Miramar’s wet season, that water sits against the CBS wall and finds its way inside. We regrade, add drainage, and tie the new apron into a swale or catch basin so water moves away from the structure.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Miramar, FL
Miramar pricing for driveway and paver work starts with the surface, but the real cost driver is what’s underneath. Here’s what we quote most often in 33023:
| Service | Miramar Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 - $14,000 |
These are installed prices for typical Miramar residential driveways, including demo of the old surface, base preparation, drainage work, and a finished surface. The biggest variables are excavation depth, paver brand, and whether the existing slab was poured on limestone with no base at all, which is common in the older 33023 blocks. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property before we put a number in front of you.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Miramar
Because the original slab was likely poured directly on saturated limestone with no gravel base or vapor barrier, so the ground underneath shifts every wet season. Patching the surface doesn’t change what’s underneath. The permanent fix is excavating to proper depth, installing a geotextile separator and compacted drainage layer, then setting the new surface on a stable base. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free inspection and quote.
In most cases, yes. Driveway replacement in Miramar triggers a Broward County permit review, especially in the 33023 corridor where the property is a pre-Andrew CBS home. We pull the permit, get the inspection signed, and handle the paperwork. You shouldn’t have to figure out the code path yourself, and you definitely shouldn’t be told permits are optional.
Yes, within reason. We can’t pour new terrazzo to match the original, but we can select paver colors, sizes, and laying patterns that complement the terrazzo’s color range and your home’s 1950s-1960s character. We’ll bring samples to the site and set them against the existing path before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 to set that up.
We stop, document what we found, and bring it to you in writing with a scope and price before we touch anything else. That’s the whole point of written change orders. On older 33023 properties, buried utility lines and old septic runs are common, and finding one mid-job is not a reason for your final bill to move without your approval.
We pitch the new surface away from the structure, install a proper base that sheds water through the joints rather than trapping it, and tie the apron into a drainage swale or catch basin so stormwater has a path away from the CBS wall. On a recent job off Miramar Parkway, we removed a cracked 1960s concrete driveway and found the original slab sitting directly on saturated limestone with no base at all. We excavated, installed a geotextile separator, compacted a drainage layer, and set interlocking pavers rated for Broward County’s high water table. Then we tied the new apron into the home’s upgraded drainage swale so water doesn’t pond against the wall anymore. That’s the standard we apply to every Miramar driveway.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate for driveway or paver work in Miramar. We’ll walk the property, explain what’s actually going on underneath the old surface, and put every number in writing before anything moves.
