AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across North Andrews Gardens
Driveway and paver work in North Andrews Gardens runs anywhere from $3,500 for a basic asphalt repave to $18,000 for a full interlocking paver driveway, and the project almost always has to route through Broward County’s Building Division, not a city hall. That’s the part most national outfits get wrong before they even drop a load of rock. We live with those County permit triggers every week, and we write scopes that match them exactly so your inspection signs off the first time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the site with you, free.
North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated Broward County, which means your driveway project answers to the County’s high-velocity hurricane zone code, not a municipal building department. If the scope of work doesn’t match what the County expects to see, the permit stalls, the inspector leaves, and you’re paying for a crew that can’t move. We’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference between a County permit, an Oakland Park permit, and a parcel that sits on the line. That local knowledge is what gets your driveway poured, paved, or laid before the next rainy season hits.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in North Andrews Gardens. That’s the whole story: an owner-operated shop where the person you call is the person accountable for the work. No franchise, no out-of-state dispatch, no surprise invoice at the end. Every price change on a job arrives as a written change order before a single paver moves, and every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We answer the phone live, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not a call center. When a North Andrews Gardens homeowner calls at 7:15 in the morning with a question about a driveway that’s heaving along the edge, a person picks up. That matters more than people think until they’ve been burned once.
Residents around Northeast 6th Avenue and Andrews Avenue Extension know the drill: permits pulled, inspections signed, and the license number published for anyone to look up. We carry the written proof of compliance the County wants to see, and we don’t ask you to take our word for anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Serving the Driveway & Pavers needs of North Andrews Gardens homeowners means knowing the 1955-1975 CBS housing stock, the sandy-limestone substrate underneath it, and the afternoon thunderstorm schedule that compresses exterior work windows from June through September. We sequence our pours and our paver compaction around that, because a base that gets flooded mid-install is a driveway that fails in year three.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in North Andrews Gardens
Four sub-services cover most of the calls we get from the 33334 zip code. Here’s how each one plays out in North Andrews Gardens specifically.
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in North Andrews Gardens typically run $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage and the paver system specified. The County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements push the conversation toward interlocking concrete pavers that carry a wind-load-rated system, not whatever stack of blocks is cheapest at the yard. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc lines you can look up, with a mechanically compacted subbase and edge restraint that survives the rainy-season water table.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A poured concrete driveway in North Andrews Gardens runs $4,500-$12,000. The sand-and-limestone base under most of this neighborhood moves, so we compact it before we tie rebar and pour. Stamped concrete driveways add the look of stone without the per-unit cost of pavers, and they hold up well on the flat, low-lying lots around Northeast 18th Avenue when the slab is reinforced properly.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving and resurfacing runs $3,500-$9,000 in North Andrews Gardens. It’s a solid option for homeowners who want a clean, black driveway without the structural work of a full replacement. The heat and the wet-season runoff both punish thin asphalt, so we spec a base that drains and a top coat that doesn’t bleed in July.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in North Andrews Gardens runs $5,000-$14,000. The trigger is usually slab settlement from the sandy-limestone substrate, or spalling on a 60-year-old driveway that was never sealed. We pull the County permit, demo the old slab, compact the subbase, and pour or lay the new surface to the wind-load and drainage standard the inspector expects. A repair on a cracked slab is cheaper, and we’ll tell you honestly when a repair is all the driveway needs and when it’s a placeholder for a replacement two years out.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Andrews Gardens
We stock and install premium hardscape lines that homeowners in North Andrews Gardens can verify by name, not mystery brands off a van. Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers are what we reach for on county-boundary jobs where the spec has to hold up to both wind-load review and rainy-season settlement. For impact windows and doors that often accompany a major exterior project on a 1950s or 1960s CBS home, we carry PGT and Simonton lines. The point is the same across every trade we touch: materials you can look up, installed by crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name and pass background checks before they ever set foot on your property. If you’re replacing a driveway and the jalousie windows are original to the house, it’s worth asking about impact-rated upgrades in the same scope.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- Slab settlement and heaving on sandy-limestone soil. North Andrews Gardens sits on a shallow water table over sandy limestone, and the June-September rainy season saturates un-compacted subbase fast. A driveway laid without mechanical compaction will settle, crack, or heave within a few wet seasons.
- Wrong-jurisdiction permits near the Oakland Park line. Lots along the boundary between unincorporated North Andrews Gardens and incorporated Oakland Park can sit on different sides of the line, even on the same street. Pull a County permit for a city parcel, or vice versa, and the whole permit process restarts from scratch.
- Wind-load failures on original 1955-1975 CBS homes. Most houses here predate Broward’s post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone code. A paver driveway installed as a non-rated system can fail a County wind-load inspection, and that same failure can void storm-damage coverage on an insurance claim later.
- Drainage dead zones on flat, low-lying lots. North Andrews Gardens is flat country, and a driveway without proper slope or edge drainage sends runoff toward the slab or the front door. We’ve fixed driveways where the real problem was a gutter downspout pouring into the paver base.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in North Andrews Gardens
You check your parcel’s jurisdiction on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before anyone pulls a permit, because streets near the North Andrews Gardens-Oakland Park boundary can have lots under different authorities on the same block. We do that check as step one on every job near the line, then write the permit scope to match the correct authority. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look it up with you.
Your paver driveway in North Andrews Gardens must meet the high-velocity hurricane zone wind-load rating Broward County adopted after Hurricane Andrew, which for most homes here means an interlocking concrete paver system rated for the HVHZ, laid over a mechanically compacted subbase with an edge restraint. We write that scope into the permit so the County inspector signs off without a punch-list rework. Get the exact spec for your lot by calling (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
A compliant driveway permit alone probably won’t move your premium, but documentation that your exterior work meets Broward’s wind-load standard can protect a storm-damage claim down the road, especially on a pre-Andrew CBS home. The insurance conversation we hear most is about the opposite problem: unpermitted or non-compliant work voiding coverage. Talk to your agent about wind mitigation, and call us at (877) 610-1318 to get the permit and inspection trail in order.
Cheap quotes leave out subbase compaction because it’s labor and material the homeowner never sees, and it’s the single most common thing to skip on the sandy-limestone soils under North Andrews Gardens. The driveway looks fine on day one and fails within two or three rainy seasons when the base settles and the pavers heave. Our quotes put compaction and edge restraint in writing, because the alternative is a driveway that costs twice what it should have. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes the full scope.
A Broward County permit for a driveway replacement in North Andrews Gardens typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks once the scope is submitted correctly, assuming the application matches the County’s permit triggers and the parcel jurisdiction is confirmed on the Property Appraiser map. Mistakes on either of those two fronts add time, and pulling the wrong jurisdiction restarts the process entirely. We handle the whole permit on your behalf, and we’ll give you a real timeline when we walk the site. Call (877) 610-1318 to get started.
