AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Boca Raton
Driveway and paver work in Boca Raton is a different animal than anywhere else in Palm Beach County. The Architectural Review Board, the high water table, and the 150 mph wind-load codes all shape what gets approved, how it gets built, and what it costs. Our Driveway & Pavers crews work in Boca Raton weekly, and we know the ARB submission cycles, the material lead times, and the dewatering requirements before we ever put a shovel in the ground. If you’re planning a paver driveway, concrete driveway, or full replacement, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and straight answers.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve built our name in South Florida on one thing: showing up. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his sons on the crews. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. That matters in Boca Raton, where ARB approvals and permit inspections can stretch a project out if the contractor doesn’t know the city’s process cold.
Homeowners from Woodfield Country Club to Camino Real have called after another contractor quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. Our answer is the same every time: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. Every paver driveway and concrete driveway job in Boca Raton gets a written line-item quote before you sign anything. And every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
We’re not the cheapest bid. We’re the bid where the paver you picked is the paver you get, the permit gets pulled, and the inspection gets signed. Ask anyone on your street in Boca Pointe or Broken Sound, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Not many contractors in this market will do that.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Boca Raton
We focus on the hardscape jobs Boca Raton homeowners actually need, from new paver driveways to concrete slab replacement to repair work on aging driveways. Each one comes with a written scope, a fixed price, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Boca Raton starts with the ARB. Brick pavers, travertine-look pavers, and even the joint sand color have to pass the city’s Mediterranean Revival design review. We coordinate the ARB submission before ordering a single paver, because ordering first and asking later leaves you paying restocking fees and waiting through a change order. In the Woodfield Country Club community, our crew coordinated the ARB submission cycle before ordering materials: the approved travertine-look pavers had a 6-week lead time, and the permit required documentation of the 150 mph wind-load rating for the driveway’s concrete base. We fixed the scope and allowances in writing before any purchase, and the inspection sign-off happened on the first pass because the subbase compaction met the city’s dewatering-adjusted spec.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Boca Raton deal with two local forces: a high water table that sits 2 to 4 feet below grade across most of the city, and salt-laden air east of Federal Highway. Without a thickened perimeter footing and proper drainage, slabs curl at the edges and crack within two years. We pour against those conditions, not around them. Stamped concrete driveways are popular in gated communities like Boca Pointe, and we handle the ARB paperwork on those too.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common in Boca Raton’s single-family neighborhoods, partly because some gated communities restrict it. But where it’s allowed, a new asphalt driveway or resurfacing job still needs proper base prep, drainage, and compaction. Asphalt paving in Boca Raton typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on the driveway size and whether the existing base needs to come out. We’ll tell you upfront if your community’s rules allow asphalt before you invest a dime.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Older Boca Raton driveways fail in specific ways. Concrete spalling, paver settlement, edge curling, and joint washout from the rainy season. Some repairs are simple, some require a full replacement. A driveway replacement in Boca Raton runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on material, square footage, and whether dewatering is needed. We inspect, we write it up, and you get the price before we order anything.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We install paver and hardscape products from brands you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For driveway and paver work in Boca Raton, we regularly work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. We also install PGT impact-rated products where a driveway project ties into a garage entry, a walkway, or an entry gate. Sourcing matters here, because ARB submissions need specific product documentation, and lead times on premium pavers run weeks, not days. We order early and we order correctly the first time.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- ARB non-compliance discovered after delivery. Homeowners order pavers that look great online, then learn the color or profile doesn’t meet Boca Raton’s Mediterranean Revival palette. The pavers get restocked at the owner’s expense and a change order follows. We submit for approval before a single paver is ordered.
- Concrete edge curling and slab cracking from the high water table. The water table sitting 2 to 4 feet below grade causes differential settlement. Without a thickened perimeter footing and proper drainage, the slab cracks within two years. We see this constantly in the 1970s to 1990s CBS-home neighborhoods west of I-95.
- Joint sand washout from the rainy season. Scheduling paver installation during Southwest Florida’s rainy season without dewatering is a recipe for punch-list delays. Saturated sand and a rising groundwater table wash out joint sand and delay compaction. We schedule around the season and plan for dewatering from day one.
- Spalling driveways in east Boca Raton. The salt air that corrodes rebar in the high-rises along A1A also works on driveway slabs and paver edges east of Federal Highway. If your concrete driveway has spalled edges and hairline cracks, it’s often salt-related corrosion, not normal wear.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Boca Raton
Yes. Boca Raton’s Architectural Review Board requires that all driveway and paver materials conform to the city’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic, so paver selections, edge treatments, and even joint sand colors must pass ARB scrutiny. Replacing an existing paver driveway with a different paver style is not automatic. We submit the ARB package before ordering materials so you don’t end up paying restocking fees on pavers the city won’t approve. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the submission cycle.
In east Boca Raton, it’s usually salt air. The same salt-laden air that corrodes embedded rebar in the A1A high-rises also attacks driveway slabs and edges east of Federal Highway. Corroding rebar expands and spalls the concrete. It can also be the high water table causing differential settlement. We’ll inspect it and tell you which one you’re dealing with before recommending a repair or replacement. Estimates are free, so call (877) 610-1318.
Premium paver materials in Boca Raton typically run 4 to 7 weeks from order to delivery. Lead times, not labor, set the calendar on these projects. We order early, after ARB approval, and we fix the price in writing before the order goes in. If you want travertine-look pavers or a specific Techo-Bloc profile, plan for the wait. The schedule won’t surprise you if the paperwork is done right.
No. The water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade across most of Boca Raton, and even routine excavation for a driveway base can require active dewatering. A lot can look dry at the surface and still have groundwater close underneath. Skipping dewatering leads to saturated sand, weak compaction, and a driveway that settles within two years. We include dewatering in the written scope when the site requires it. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and we’ll tell you what your specific lot needs.
Some gated communities in Boca Raton restrict or prohibit asphalt driveways. Boca Pointe and Broken Sound each have their own HOA covenants, and the city’s ARB adds another layer on top. Before you invest in asphalt paving or resurfacing, we check your community’s rules and the city’s design standards. No change orders at the end because everyone knew the rules from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address.
