AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Boca Del Mar
If your Boca Del Mar driveway is cracking, sinking, or draining toward the house every time it rains, you already know the problem isn’t cosmetic. It’s structural. The concrete-block homes here sit on sandy, fast-draining soil with a water table just a few feet down, and the combination moves slabs over time. A paver driveway in Boca Del Mar typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 installed, while concrete runs $4,500 to $12,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve rebuilt enough driveways in the 33433 ZIP to know exactly what’s happening under yours before we lift a single paver. Call Tom’s team at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, walk the site, and tell you straight what it needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers the phone himself. That matters more in Boca Del Mar than most places, because the community is unincorporated Palm Beach County. No Boca Raton city inspector is going to show up, no municipal building department is going to route your permit. It’s the county, and the county’s scheduling portal, fee schedule, and inspection checklist are different. We’ve pulled permits through Palm Beach County for years and know the process cold. An out-of-area crew that assumes Boca Raton rules apply gets a failed inspection on their first visit; we get it right the first time because Driveway & Pavers work is what our crews live in down here.
Our reputation in Boca Del Mar comes from the same place it does everywhere else we work: Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, and if something isn’t done right, one call brings him back under the 90-Day Done Right Promise. That promise is written on every contract, not hidden somewhere. We also show up with a written change order before any scope change touches the job. No surprise invoices at the end. Never. If you’ve been burned by a company that quoted one number and billed another, you’ll notice the difference the first time we hand you a line-item estimate.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Boca Del Mar
Paver Driveways
The dominant choice in Boca Del Mar, and for good reason. Paver driveways handle the shifting sandy soil without cracking, because the joints flex instead of fracture. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers products almost exclusively; the base prep matters more than the paver itself, and in Boca Del Mar that means excavating down through the existing slab, compaction in lifts, and proper drainage slope away from the CBS foundation. Without that, you’ll see the same sinkage in five years.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete makes sense when you want a smooth, continuous surface and you are willing to maintain the joint sealing. In Boca Del Mar, the sun and the salt air are hard on unsealed concrete. We see spalling and surface pitting from years of sprinkler water and pool splash drying repeatedly on the slab. A new concrete driveway here runs $4,500 to $12,000, and we always recommend sealing it within the first 60 days after pour. It matters down here more than inland.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Less common in Boca Del Mar than paver or concrete, but asphalt still shows up on some of the older 1970s ranch homes and on longer, flatter driveways where the budget is tight. Asphalt paving here runs $3,500 to $9,000. The heat is the issue: South Florida asphalt needs a different binder mix than you would use in North Florida, and if the crew uses the wrong one, you get rutting under parked tires within two summers. We spec the mix for Palm Beach County temperatures.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Most Boca Del Mar driveway problems start small: a hairline crack at the garage door, a low spot pooling water, a joint opening up near the street. Left alone after a couple of hurricane seasons, those cracks widen, the base washes out, and the slab sections start moving independently. We repair what can be repaired and replace what can’t. A full replacement in Boca Del Mar runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on material and square footage. We’ll tell you honestly which side of that line you’re on before we touch anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
We stock and install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for most hardscape work, and we use Quikrete products for concrete repair and setting beds. You can look these brands up yourself; they are not mystery materials off a van. Because we work in Boca Del Mar continuously, we keep common paver colors and concrete supplies staged at our South Florida yard, which means shorter lead times on most driveway projects. When you call for a quote, we’ll show you the actual material samples, not a photo on a tablet.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Sinking paver sections near the street: The sandy subgrade in the 33433 ZIP settles under repeated vehicle weight, especially at the apron where the driveway meets the road. We dig down, correct the base, and relay the pavers; adding more sand on top never fixes it.
- Concrete slab heave from the water table: With groundwater sitting 2 to 4 feet below grade in much of Boca Del Mar, poorly compacted concrete pads push upward in wet years. This is a base failure, not a concrete failure; patching the surface is money wasted.
- Drainage sloping toward the house: Many 1970s and 1980s driveways here were poured dead flat, and after four decades of wear they now pitch slightly toward the garage. That sends stormwater directly at your block walls during heavy summer rains. We regrade and install channel drains where needed.
- Paver joint washout from hurricane-season downpours: The joints between pavers lose their polymeric sand far faster in South Palm Beach County than anywhere inland, because the rain comes in short, violent bursts. Re-sanding every year or two is normal here; sealing prolongs it.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Boca Del Mar
How fast can you get to Boca Del Mar for a driveway estimate?
We can usually get a crew member out to Boca Del Mar within one to two business days for a site visit and measurement. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll schedule it directly with you, not through a call center.
Do you cover all Boca Del Mar neighborhoods?
Yes. We work throughout the 33433 ZIP, including the villa communities and single-family streets throughout Boca Del Mar. The community is unincorporated Palm Beach County, and we’ve pulled enough county permits here to know exactly how the process runs; no Boca Raton city Hall confusion, no surprises.
Is a sinking driveway in Boca Del Mar fixable, or does it need full replacement?
That depends on why it’s sinking, and in Boca Del Mar the usual culprits are sandy base washout and the shallow water table. Some sinking sections can be lifted and relayed. If the base has eroded extensively, partial replacement is the honest fix. We’ll show you what we find when we dig the test holes, and you’ll get a written price either way before we start.
Will a paver driveway hold up to Boca Del Mar’s heat and rain?
Yes, if the base is compacted correctly and the joints are maintained with polymeric sand. Pavers are actually one of the better choices for this climate, because they flex instead of crack when the sandy subgrade shifts. The key is the excavation depth and compaction; shortcut that and no paver brand will save it. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers over properly built bases every time.
Does the 90-Day Done Right Promise apply to driveway work in Boca Del Mar?
It does. Every driveway and paver job we complete carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise, exactly like our kitchen and addition work. If something wasn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call to (877) 610-1318 is all it takes.
