Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Alief
Driveway and paver work in Alief, TX runs from about $3,500 for a basic asphalt driveway up to $18,000 for a full paver driveway with a proper base, and you’ll want a contractor who understands what your slab is sitting on. Most homes around here were built between 1970 and 1990, and those slabs sit on expansive Beaumont clay that hasn’t stopped moving since the day it was poured. That’s not a footnote; it changes how we prep, compact, and grade every driveway we build or replace in the 77411. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett or one of his sons will walk your property, look at what’s happening under the surface, and give you a written line-item price before anything gets scheduled.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Alief’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998 and put his name on the truck for a reason. The folks we work for in neighborhoods like Alief’s older ranch-home streets aren’t looking for a national chain that quotes one number over the phone and hands them something else at the door. They want a contractor whose sons run the crews, who pulls permits so the inspector works for you and not for him, and who writes every price change on paper before a single shovel touches the ground. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the L.O.C.A.L. values on our site aren’t decoration; they’re how Tom’s been running jobs here since before Harvey.
Our Driveway & Pavers work across Alief carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No voicemail maze, no out-of-state call center, no “the warranty department will get back to you.” You’ll find our license number published right alongside Tom’s name and address, so you can check us before you ever sign.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Alief
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Alief typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, access, and how much of the existing slab has to come out. We build with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because those are brands you can look up, not mystery material off a van. Given the clay under most of Alief, we spend extra time on the gravel base and compaction, so your pavers don’t heave apart after two wet winters and one dry August.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
New concrete driveway pours in Alief usually land between $4,500 and $12,000. We handle plain poured concrete, stenciled and exposed aggregate finishes, and full concrete patios and walkways. Existing slab? We’re honest about whether it can be capped or needs full removal, because concrete placed over cracked, shifting clay without proper joint planning will crack to match what it’s sitting on.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Alief runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential driveway, and resurfacing comes in on the lower end when the base is still sound. Asphalt handles the Houston-area heat without the brittle cracking you’ll see in unsealed concrete, but it needs a proper graded base to survive Alief’s low-lying, slow-draining lots. We check the grade first, and we tell you plainly if water is going to pond at the apron.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Replacement in Alief runs $5,000 to $14,000. We see a lot of driveways where decades of Beaumont clay expansion and contraction have cracked and sunken sections, especially on the older 1970s tract lots. Repair isn’t always a lost cause, but when the base has failed, we’ll tell you that too. Written scope, written change orders, and no surprise invoice at the end.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Alief Homes
- Cracked slabs and sunken sections. The expansive Beaumont clay under Alief expands when wet and shrinks when dry, and after 30 to 50 years, that movement writes itself into the concrete. We see it on nearly every older 77411 driveway we bid.
- Ponding and poor drainage near the apron. Alief sits low and flat within the Brays Bayou watershed, and water standing at the driveway edge after a heavy rain is a grading problem. Before we pour or lay pavers, we address the slope and drainage, not just the surface.
- Flood damage from Harvey-era saturation. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 put water across entire subdivisions here, and we still see driveways with settling and base washout from that event. A one-time resurfacing won’t fix a base that’s gone soft underneath.
- Heat-cracked asphalt and faded sealcoating. Alief’s May through September heat bakes asphalt hard. Without periodic sealing at $250 to $700, an Alief asphalt driveway will show surface cracks years earlier than one in a milder climate.
