AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Tujunga
Most driveways in Tujunga weren’t built for the freeze-thaw we never get, the rain we get all at once, and the Santa Ana winds that strip topsoil every October. They were built for 1962. A paver driveway in Tujunga typically runs $7,000-$18,000 installed, and a concrete driveway runs $4,500-$12,000. Whether you’re on a canyon-adjacent lot off Foothill Boulevard or a post-war bungalow street in the 91042 flats, the ground under your driveway is the same loose alluvial stuff that gives Tujunga its character, and its problems.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded 1998, owner-operated by Tom Barrett. If you’re looking for driveway and paver work in Tujunga, call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail. Tom answers his own phone. He’s built a business on showing up when he says, putting every price change in writing before a single wheelbarrow moves, and standing behind the job for 90 days after it’s done.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tujunga’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tujunga’s not a market to us. It’s where our crew members grew up, where our kids went to school, and where we see our customers at the hardware store on Foothill Boulevard. That changes how we build a driveway. If we’re setting pavers on a hillside lot above Big Tujunga Canyon, we know the inspector’s going to look at the drainage before anything else, because the Station Fire in 2009 made drainage a non-negotiable on every project up there. We don’t fight that. We plan for it, price it, and tell you about it before we dig.
The Tujunga customers we serve tend to be like us: they want a name they can verify, a face they’ll see again, and a written scope of work they can hold us to. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Go look it up before you sign anything. Then ask anyone on your street. If the driveway’s done wrong, Tom lives twenty minutes away, and he wants to know about it.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Tujunga
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways hold up better on Tujunga’s slopes than poured concrete, because the individual stones move with the ground instead of cracking against it. We install Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavers, and we set them on a deeper base than code requires when we’re working on the alluvial fan deposits near the mouth of Big Tujunga Canyon. Typical Tujunga paver driveway: $7,000-$18,000. If your lot has a steep grade, that base depth matters more than anything we’ll do on top.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in Tujunga fails for specific reasons: roots from mature oaks and pines, water running off canyon slopes, and old 1940s-1960s slabs that were poured thin. We do full tear-outs and pours, stamped concrete that looks like stone without the paver cost, and new curb cuts to code. A standard concrete driveway in Tujunga runs $4,500-$12,000. Stamped work adds cost but lasts as long as the slab.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt gets hot on Tujunga’s exposed south-facing lots, and it softens. We mix for high heat, roll it thick at the edges, and seal it the same year we pour it. Asphalt paving in Tujunga typically runs $3,500-$9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway that’s cracked but structurally sound is often half that. If your driveway’s on Foothill or a busy street, consider that asphalt doesn’t mind the oil drips and tires the way pavers do.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
A cracked driveway in Tujunga isn’t just ugly, it’s a trip hazard, a water entry point, and a red flag when a hillside inspector comes around for fire-hardening review. We replace failed slabs, lift sunken sections, rebuild crumbling aprons, and repair paver edges that have wandered. Replacement ranges $5,000-$14,000 depending on size and how much base we have to rebuild. Sealing a driveway runs $250-$700. We’ll tell you honestly if your driveway needs a patch or a whole new foundation. We won’t sell you the more expensive one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga

We don’t stock mystery brands off a van. If the product’s got a name you can look up, we’ll put it in your quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. That’s how we do our Driveway & Pavers work everywhere we go.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Slope creep and alluvial shifting. Hillside lots near the mouth of Big Tujunga Canyon sit on loose fan deposits that move. Driveways crack at the midpoint, not the ends, because the ground under the middle is consolidating. We see this weekly. The fix is a deeper base and sometimes a small retaining edge along the downhill side.
- Water chasing the low spot. Tujunga gets almost all its rain in a few storm events. When the water comes, it moves fast downhill. If your driveway drains toward your foundation, that water’s going to find the crack in the stem wall and sit there. We grade every driveway so water leaves the property, not the living room.
- Older slabs with no steel. A lot of 1950s and 1960s Tujunga bungalows have driveways poured without rebar or wire mesh. They crack like crackers. Once you see map cracking across the surface, it’s not a patch job anymore, it’s a replacement.
- Root intrusion from mature trees. Tujunga’s old oaks and pines are part of why people live here. They also push up concrete driveways slowly, year after year. We can sometimes work around the roots with pavers instead of fighting them with concrete.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Tujunga
We schedule most Tujunga estimates within a few business days, and because our crews are local to the foothills, we’re not driving across the county to get to you. For urgent matters like a failed slab that’s blocking your garage, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you an honest time frame, not a promise we’ll break. After the SCOPE is signed, we typically start within two to three weeks, depending on permitting and our current workload.
Yes. We work across both 91042 and 91043, from Foothill Boulevard up into the hills and down to the flats. Both zip codes sit within Los Angeles’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so we’re used to working alongside Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction requirements and the drainage standards that come with it.
Generally, yes, and for specific reasons. Hillside lots near Big Tujunga Canyon often require deeper base compaction, more drainage work, and sometimes retaining edges, all of which add labor and material costs. But the difference isn’t arbitrary, it’s the ground you’re building on. Paver driveways in Tujunga run $7,000-$18,000, where a flat valley lot might sit at the lower end or a bit below. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain the quote line by line, so you can see why your driveway costs what it costs.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing before any new work happens. Tom Barrett’s rule: every allowance, every change order, every price change arrives on paper before a single nail moves. If the ground under your driveway isn’t what we expected, you’ll know what it means and what it costs before we act on it. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s the whole point of hiring us.
Every job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. You also get our standard workmanship warranty, and because we’re local to Tujunga, you’ll see us again at the hardware store, not through a corporate phone tree.
