We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been building and repairing driveways, patios, and walkways across the Santa Clara River Valley for long enough to know exactly how this town’s soil, wind, and fire history shape every job we quote. If your driveway is cracked, sunken, or just tired-looking, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, take a look, and give you a written price before anything moves forward.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Santa Paula’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re owner-operated, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published right out in the open. Look us up before you sign anything. Santa Paula homeowners have learned to do that, because this town has seen more than a few out-of-area contractors quote one number over the phone and show up with a different one on paper. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope, every allowance, every price change comes to you as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end.
Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts and on their work. They’re background-checked, uniformed, and most days Tom or one of his sons is on-site. We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you call about a driveway in Santa Paula, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between paving on the flatlands and paving on a hillside lot near the 126.
We also back every completed job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not fine print. It’s on every contract.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Santa Paula
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Santa Paula typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver selection, and what’s underneath the old surface. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, brands you can look up and verify, not mystery material off a van. In hillside neighborhoods where the Thomas Fire changed everything, pavers also hold up well to the kind of ground movement we see in the clay-heavy soils along the river corridor. They flex instead of crack. That matters when the Santa Anas have been blowing and the ground dries out in late summer.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Santa Paula runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a standard two-car driveway, with stamped concrete adding cost but also adding a look that fits the older Craftsman bungalows near downtown. We pour and finish concrete driveways, walkways, and pool decks. On parcels in the FEMA floodplain near the Santa Clara River, we make sure the slope and drainage are right before the first pour. Water that sits against a foundation is a slow, expensive problem. We build it so the water leaves.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Santa Paula runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential driveway. Asphalt handles the valley heat well and it’s often the right call for longer driveways out toward the agricultural edges of town. We also do resurfacing when the old asphalt is tired but the base is still sound. That’s a fraction of the cost of a full replacement, and we’ll tell you straight if resurfacing won’t hold up on your particular lot.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Santa Paula runs $5,000 to $14,000. Smaller repairs, like fixing a sunken section or replacing broken pavers, run less. We see a lot of driveways in the older part of town, in the 93060 zip code, that were poured decades ago before modern seismic and drainage standards. Those often need a full replacement rather than a patch, and we’ll show you photos and measurements so you understand exactly why. You’re not buying a guess from us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Paula
We carry premium product lines across hardscape work, including Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. You’ll see those names on every quote. We don’t stock “house brand” materials and charge you premium pricing for them. If you’re comparing bids from other Santa Paula contractors, ask them what paver brand they’re quoting. Then look ours up. We also work with GAF products when a driveway project ties into drainage or adjacent roofing transitions, a detail that matters on older homes where the roofline, the driveway grade, and the gutter system all have to work together. We’ll order what your job needs and have it staged before we start, not after.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Santa Paula Homes
- Sunken sections on older properties near the historic core. Many of the late-Victorian and Craftsman homes in the 93060 zip code sit on fill or aging subgrade. Driveways settle, crack, and pull away from the garage slab. We lift, re-base, and level rather than just smearing sealer over the problem.
- Fire-rebuild lots with still-settling ground. After the 2017 Thomas Fire, a lot of hillside parcels were scraped and rebuilt. New driveways on those lots sometimes shift during the first couple of rainy seasons as the ground settles into its new grade. We plan for that with proper base compaction before we ever set a paver.
- Santa Ana season cracks. The autumn winds coming down from the Topatopa Mountains don’t just carry fire risk. They dry out the soil hard and fast. Concrete and asphalt both respond to that cycle, and we see the most new cracking in October and November. A properly built base is the difference between cracks in year two and a flat surface in year twenty.
- Floodplain drainage issues. Parts of Santa Paula sit in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. If your driveway pitches toward your garage or your foundation, heavy January rain becomes an indoor problem. We regrade and add proper drainage as part of the job. It’s not an upsell. It’s a building-code reality in this town.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Santa Paula
We schedule estimates in Santa Paula within days, not weeks. For repair work, we can often start within two weeks depending on material availability and permits. Full driveway replacements take longer because of demolition, base work, and curing time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic start date, not a sales pitch.
Yes. We work in the 93060 and 93061 zip codes, from the historic downtown bungalows up into the hillside lots rebuilt after the Thomas Fire. Hillside driveways often have steeper grades and more drainage work, but we quote them the same way we quote everything else. Written scope, written allowances, no surprises.
Labor and material costs are similar across the valley, but Santa Paula hillside lots sometimes carry extra cost for drainage, grading, or fire-zone compliance work that coastal flatland cities don’t see. A paver driveway on a steep hillside lot north of Telegraph Road can run toward the top of our $7,000 to $18,000 range. A flat lot near the river might land in the middle. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you an exact quote, not a guess.
Every completed job is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom Barrett back. That’s in addition to any manufacturer warranty on the materials themselves. We don’t hide behind fine print. Ask us for a copy of the promise before you sign.
We do, and we know the Chapter 7A Wildland-Urban Interface requirements that govern hillside parcels in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That’s not an add-on for us. We lived through the Thomas Fire rebuild like the rest of this town, and we build driveways that hold up to the ground movement and drainage patterns those properties bring. If your lot sits in the hazard zone, we’ll talk you through what that means for your driveway scope before you spend a dollar.
If you’re tired of walking across a cracked, uneven driveway in Santa Paula, call us at (877) 610-1318. We’ll come out, take measurements, and hand you a written estimate. Tom Barrett’s name is on it. That means something in this town. And if your property needs more than a driveway, we also handle Home Additions & ADU in Santa Paula and Kitchen Remodeling in Santa Paula, with the same written-change-order discipline and the same owner-operated crew. Call today and ask for a free estimate. No trip charge inside the county.
