Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cloverleaf’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in a place like Cloverleaf, where the Roofing - Cloverleaf permitting and code situation trips up contractors who don’t know the difference between unincorporated Harris County and the City of Houston. We do. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him on every Cloverleaf job we run.
We’ve replaced driveways off Market Street, re-paved entries near the Ship Channel neighborhoods, and built paver patios for folks along the 77015 residential streets that flooded during Harvey. Homeowners here tend to ask the same two questions: will the new surface hold up to the clay soil, and will the contractor stand behind the work. On the first, we install compaction and base layers built for expansive clay. On the second, every Barrett & Sons contract carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. One call brings Tom back.
Calls to us are answered by a live person, 24/7, not an out-of-state call center. And Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number for anyone who wants to look it up before signing. Ask anyone on your street. Or look up the license number yourself.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Cloverleaf
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Cloverleaf is a strong choice for the soil we have here. Individual pavers flex slightly as Houston Black clay shrinks and swells through wet and dry seasons, so you don’t get the long crack lines that come with a single monolithic slab. We install Driveway & Pavers projects using Techo-Bloc and Belgard products, two names you can look up. For a standard two-car paver driveway in Cloverleaf, budget $7,000 to $18,000 depending on paver style, base depth, and any existing concrete teardown we need to haul off.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Cloverleaf run $4,500 to $12,000 for a standard pour, with stamped concrete adding a few dollars per square foot. The trick here is the base. Cloverleaf sits low in the Harris County flood plain, and the clay underneath holds water for weeks after a heavy storm. We over-dig and bring in proper base material before the pour so the slab doesn’t heave apart three years after it’s finished. If you’re doing concrete, you want rebar spacing and control joints laid out for this soil specifically.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is the inexpensive option, and for Cloverleaf Bathroom Remodeling homeowners with long driveways or tight budgets, it’s often the right call. A full asphalt driveway paving job in the 77015 area generally lands between $3,500 and $9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive costs less than a full teardown and repave. One thing to know: asphalt softens in the southeast Texas heat, so we recommend sealcoating every two to three years. Driveway sealing in Cloverleaf runs $250 to $700 and it’s the cheapest protection you can buy for an asphalt surface.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Some Cloverleaf driveways are still original to the 1950s and 1960s ranchers they serve, and time plus clay soil hasn’t been kind. We can patch and repair what’s salvageable, or tear out and replace what isn’t. Full driveway replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000. If standing water sat on your slab for days during Harvey, there’s a decent chance the base has eroded underneath sections that now look fine on top. We’ll check. It’s the kind of thing you’d never notice until a corner drops.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cloverleaf
We stock and install pavers and hardscape materials from manufacturers you can actually research, not mystery brands pulled off a van. That includes Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, and Oldcastle products, all of which hold up to Houston’s wet-dry clay cycles better than cheap big-box pavers. Because we’re running jobs in and around Cloverleaf week in and week out, we keep common paver replacements and concrete materials accessible for fast turnaround when your driveway needs repair. We’d rather tell you exactly which paver line went in than hand you a vague invoice that says “materials.”
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Cloverleaf Homes
- Clay heave and slab settlement: The expansive Houston Black clay under Cloverleaf’s 77015 corridor shrinks in the summer and swells in the wet months. Over time, that cyclical movement creates cracks, sunken corners, and uneven transitions where the driveway meets the garage slab.
- Post-Harvey base erosion: When standing water sat over Cloverleaf for days in 2017, it didn’t just get into homes. It saturated the ground under driveways and patios, washing out base material in sections. We regularly find driveways that look fine on top but have voids underneath, waiting to collapse under a truck’s weight.
- Original 1950s-1970s construction: Cloverleaf’s housing stock is mostly slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam ranchers built during the Ship Channel boom years. Driveways poured back then often lack the rebar and depth modern standards require, and many were poured directly on unamended clay.
- Drainage conflicts with the driveway edge: Because Cloverleaf sits low and flat, even moderate storms can channel water along the driveway’s edge. Without proper swales and grading, that water pools against the slab and accelerates cracking at the exact spot where the driveway meets the lawn or flower bed.
