Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Chino Hills
Driveway and paver work in Chino Hills comes with a set of challenges you won’t find twenty minutes south in flat Chino or Ontario. Most homes here sit on graded hillside pads with expansive clay soil underneath, and that single fact shapes how driveways crack, how pavers shift, and what a proper fix actually requires. A paver driveway installation in Chino Hills typically runs $7,000-$18,000, while a concrete driveway runs $4,500-$12,000, and the spread depends heavily on your lot’s slope, drainage, and access for equipment. If your driveway is heaving, pooling water, or showing cracks that widen every spring, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’ve worked this terrain since 1998, and we don’t send strangers to your door.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Chino Hills’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Chino Hills. That’s not marketing copy. It’s how we answer the phone, how we sign contracts, and how we handle the hundred small decisions a hillside driveway job throws at you. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you get a written estimate, the price on that paper is the price you pay, unless a change order in writing says otherwise. And every driveway or paver job we complete in Chino Hills carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print. No arguing.
We carry the same premium materials homeowners here expect from a contractor they’ll see again at the hardware store. Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on hardscapes, name-brand products you can look up yourself. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like him. The crew members who walk your Chino Hills driveway are background-checked and uniformed, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything.
Our Driveway & Pavers team knows the 91709 hillside lots, the Santa Ana wind exposure, and the expansive clay that makes Chino Hills different from everywhere else we work. We schedule and coordinate from our Inland Empire office, with crews serving Chino Hills locally. That means when a retaining wall starts rotating or a paver patio settles after a wet winter, the people who built it are twenty minutes away, not three states over.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Chino Hills
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways hold up well on Chino Hills slopes because individual pavers flex with the soil instead of cracking like a monolithic slab. The catch is the base prep. On expansive clay, we over-excavate and compact more than a flat-land crew would, because seasonal swell and shrink will push pavers around if the base is marginal. A paver driveway in Chino Hills runs $7,000-$18,000, and you’ll get a written line-item scope before a single paver is ordered.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete on a hillside lot needs proper drainage control and often post-tension or rebar reinforcement to resist the soil movement underneath. We see plenty of 25-to-40-year-old concrete driveways in the 91709 tract-home neighborhoods that are now spalling and cracking past the point of patching. A new concrete driveway in Chino Hills runs $4,500-$12,000, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing slab can be saved or needs full replacement.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common in Chino Hills than in the flat industrial areas nearby, but resurfacing over a solid base can extend a driveway’s life for years at a fraction of replacement cost. Asphalt paving or resurfacing in Chino Hills runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on square footage, base condition, and whether we’re overlay or full-depth. On hillside lots, drainage and base stability matter more than the asphalt itself, and we scope it accordingly.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Slab heaving, edge cracking, and paver settling are the routine calls we get from Chino Hills homeowners. Sometimes the fix is isolated, and sometimes the underlying base has failed completely. Driveway replacement in Chino Hills runs $5,000-$14,000. Before we touch anything, we walk the site, check the drainage, and give you a written scope that spells out exactly what gets torn out and what goes back in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Chino Hills
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because these are brands you can research, with published specs and warranties that stand behind the product. For projects that tie into windows or doors along the driveway, we also work with Simonton and Ply Gem when the scope calls for it. We stock common paver and concrete repair materials locally, which means faster turnaround for Chino Hills customers when a repair can’t wait. You’ll never see a mystery brand pulled off the back of a van with the label peeled off.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Chino Hills Homes
- Expansive clay heaving slabs. The hillside soils under Chino Hills swell in winter and shrink in summer, and that seasonal movement pushes concrete upward unevenly. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch or a slab that’s visibly lifted at one end almost always trace back to soil movement, not bad concrete.
- Santa Ana wind-driven erosion around paver edges. Wind funneling through the Chino Hills passes strips fine material from sand joints and base layers over time, especially on exposed lots. Pavers near the windward edge of a property settle faster than those against the house.
- Retaining wall failure pulling driveway edges down. Many Chino Hills driveways run alongside 1980s and 1990s CMU retaining walls that are now hydrostatically overloaded. When the wall rotates outward, the driveway edge follows it, and the fix requires a grading permit and soils report through the City’s Engineering Division, not just a patch crew.
- Drainage shortfalls on graded pads. Homes built on cut-and-fill pads were graded to move water away, but 25-to-40-year-old drains clog and fail. When water pools against a slab or saturates the base beneath pavers, the surface fails faster than it ever should.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Chino Hills, CA
Chino Hills pricing runs a little higher than flatland Chino or Ontario jobs, and the reason is the hillside. Access, grading, drainage, and sometimes geotechnical work add real cost, and we’d rather scope it honestly than surprise you later. A paver driveway installation in Chino Hills runs $7,000-$18,000. A concrete driveway runs $4,500-$12,000. Asphalt paving runs $3,500-$9,000. Full driveway replacement runs $5,000-$14,000, and sealing a smaller driveway runs $250-$700. Paver patios start around $3,500 and go to about $11,000 depending on footprint and base conditions.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change comes to you as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We also offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
