Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across West Hollywood
A new paver driveway in West Hollywood runs $7,000 to $18,000 for a typical single-family or small multi-unit property, while a poured concrete driveway lands between $4,500 and $12,000. We pull permits through WeHo’s own Building & Safety Division, not LADBS, and we schedule most driveway replacements within two to three weeks of the signed contract. If you’re looking at cracked concrete or a failing paver base on a hillside lot, call Tom’s team at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with line-item pricing.
West Hollywood isn’t Los Angeles. It has its own planning department, its own inspectors, and its own rules about what you can build and how you can build it. That matters when you’re tearing out a driveway. A company that pulls permits through LADBS all week can stall for a month on a WeHo driveway because they don’t know the local plan-check queue or the city’s soils requirements on hillside-adjacent lots. We know both, because we’ve worked this city long enough to build relationships with the people behind the counter.

Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and his license number is published where anyone can look it up. That’s the kind of accountability West Hollywood homeowners tell us they want, especially the ones who’ve already been burned by a company that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door.

And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.

The people who dig your driveway are the same people you’ll see at the hardware store.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in West Hollywood
Our Driveway & Pavers team handles the full scope, from new paver driveways on compacted bases to full concrete replacement on hillside lots. Here’s what we most often do in West Hollywood.
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways hold up better than poured concrete on West Hollywood’s expansive clay soils, because the individual pavers flex with ground movement instead of cracking against it. We install them over a reinforced base with proper drainage, which matters on the hillside-adjacent lots between Sunset and the foothills where winter rains trigger soil heave. Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers are our standard, with color options that match the older stucco and bungalow character of most WeHo neighborhoods.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A poured concrete driveway in West Hollywood requires more than a standard form-and-pour. On northern hillside lots, WeHo inspectors frequently require a soils report before any ground-disturbing permit gets approved. We handle that requirement by including the soils report in the permit package, writing the allowance for soil conditioning into the contract, and forming and curing the slab to the city’s specifications. For stamped concrete, we match the pattern to the style of the building, whether it’s a 1920s courtyard bungalow or a 1960s dingbat.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is a practical option for larger multi-unit driveways and parking courts in West Hollywood, particularly on dingbat apartment buildings with tuck-under parking. We handle full asphalt paving as well as resurfacing over existing bases, and we always check the drainage before we lay anything. An asphalt driveway that doesn’t move water off the slab will fail early, especially in West Hollywood’s zero-rainfall summers when the base dries and shifts.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
We see two main failure modes in West Hollywood. The first is concrete cracked by expansive clay that shrank in summer and heaved in winter. The second is a paver base that was never compacted properly, so the surface sinks and shifts within a few years. We tear out to the base, fix what’s underneath, and rebuild with materials and methods that are actually rated for this soil. A driveway replacement in West Hollywood typically runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on size, access, and what the inspection turns up.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood
We install pavers from Belgard and Techo-Bloc, and we also work with Simonton, PGT, and CGI when a driveway or hardscape project touches adjacent windows, doors, or garage openings. West Hollywood’s older dingbat and courtyard buildings often need impact-rated products where a driveway rebuild exposes or replaces garage doors and entryways. Because we’re local, we can order and receive materials quickly, and we don’t have to wait on an out-of-state supply chain to fix a mistake. If a window or garage door needs replacement as part of a driveway project, you’ll see the brand name in your contract, not a mystery product off a van.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Expansive clay soil heaving slabs. West Hollywood’s hillside-adjacent lots sit on clay that shrinks during the dry May-to-September stretch and swells when winter rains return. Concrete slabs crack under that cycle. It’s the single most common driveway problem we fix in this city, and it’s why WeHo inspectors require soils reports on so many northern hillside permits.
- Poured concrete without a soils report. Some contractors treat West Hollywood like any other LA-area job and skip the soils work. Two years later, the driveway is cracked and the owner is paying twice. We won’t pour on a hillside lot without understanding what’s under the slab.
- Permit stalls with WeHo’s own plan-check queue. West Hollywood runs its own Building & Safety Division, separate from LADBS. A paver driveway that would sail through LADBS can sit for weeks in WeHo’s queue if the contractor doesn’t know the local staff and the local requirements. We handle WeHo permits directly, and we know who to call when a plan check needs a nudge.
- Paver bases that weren’t compacted properly. A paver driveway is only as good as its base. On West Hollywood’s shifting soils, an under-compacted base means sunken pavers, standing water, and a surface that needs full re-laying within a few years. We over-compact and add drainage on every paver job, because we know what this soil does.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in West Hollywood
Yes, on most hillside-adjacent lots in West Hollywood, the Building & Safety Division requires a soils report before approving a ground-disturbing permit for a concrete driveway. The city enforces this because the expansive clay on those northern lots shrinks in summer and heaves in winter, cracking slabs that were poured without proper soil conditioning. We include the soils report in the permit package and write the allowance into your contract up front, so it’s not a surprise line item later. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your specific lot will need.
Yes, it can. West Hollywood’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) applies to most apartment buildings in the city, and even exterior work like a driveway replacement can trigger tenant-habitability and neighbor-notification requirements under the RSO. Those rules don’t exist under LADBS, which is one reason a contractor without WeHo experience can stall a job. We check RSO applicability on every multi-unit property before we start, and we include any required notifications or egress accommodations in the written scope. Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss your building specifically.
A paver driveway in West Hollywood runs $7,000 to $18,000, while a concrete driveway runs $4,500 to $12,000. Pavers cost more up front, but they tolerate West Hollywood’s expansive clay better than poured concrete, because the individual units flex with soil movement instead of cracking against it. Over a 20-year life, a paver driveway on a hillside lot can be the cheaper option. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with both options priced out.
You can use any state-licensed contractor, but you should know that West Hollywood runs its own plan-check queue and inspectors through its Building & Safety Division, separate from LADBS. A contractor who only knows LADBS can stall a WeHo driveway for weeks because they don’t know the local process or the local staff. We pull permits through WeHo directly, and we maintain a working relationship with the city’s plan-check and inspection team. That’s a practical advantage that shows up in a faster schedule. Call (877) 610-1318 to get the permitting question settled before you sign anything.
With a properly over-compacted base and drainage, a paver driveway on West Hollywood’s clay can last 25 years or more. The key is what’s underneath the pavers, not the pavers themselves. On a hillside lot, we include a soils report, soil conditioning, and a reinforced base so the winter rains don’t trigger the heaving that destroys standard paver installations. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you exactly what your lot needs.
If you’re in West Hollywood and you’re tired of contractors who don’t know the difference between a WeHo permit and an LADBS permit, call us. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews, every price change comes in writing, and every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
