Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Corte Madera

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway in Corte Madera’s bay-side neighborhoods needs a properly engineered base more than most. The flat lots along Tamalpais Drive and around 94925 sit on old bay fill that shifts as the mud beneath it consolidates, and a paver system done right can absorb that movement without cracking the way a solid slab will. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge product lines because they hold up to our damp, salty air and still look sharp ten years later. Expect $7,000-$18,000 for a typical two-car driveway, depending on paver selection and how much base prep the site demands.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveways on Corte Madera’s 1950s-1970s ranch homes often fail because the slab was poured thin over uncompacted fill. We tear out the old pour, re-grade and compact the sub-base, and lay a new slab with proper reinforcement and control joints cut at the right spacing. For hillside properties climbing toward Corte Madera Ridge, we’ll handle the slope drainage details that keep water from undermining the slab over time. A concrete driveway replacement in town runs $4,500-$12,000.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt is the right call for many Corte Madera homes, especially on flat eastern lots where the sub-grade is stable enough to support a flexible surface. Resurfacing a tired asphalt driveway runs $3,500-$9,000, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing base is worth saving or whether you’re better off with a full replacement. The coastal humidity here means sealcoating isn’t optional, and we’ll set you up with a maintenance schedule that actually fits the local climate.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

We see the same driveway failures across Corte Madera: alligator cracking from water intrusion, sinkholes near the garage apron where downspouts dump, and edge spalling on driveways that slope toward the street. For smaller repairs, we’ll patch and stabilize what’s salvageable. For driveways past saving, we’ll give you a straight answer on replacement cost. Most full replacements in Corte Madera fall between $5,000 and $14,000, and driveway sealing for smaller surface work runs $250-$700.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Corte Madera Homes

• Bay mud settlement on eastern lots. Homes in the flatlands of 94925 sit on compressible bay fill that’s still consolidating, and that shows up as cracked slabs, sunken walkways, and pavers that buckle out of plane over time. It’s not your imagination, and it’s not poor installation. It’s the ground moving underneath.
• Fog-driven moisture damage. Corte Madera sits in the coastal fog channel, so concrete and mortar here cure differently and degrade faster than they do in drier inland towns. Sealing, proper drainage, and the right mix design matter more here than they do twenty minutes east.
• Standing groundwater in footing and trench work. On the bay-fill side, we routinely hit water two to three feet below grade even in dry season. Any excavation below that requires dewatering, which adds cost and time that hillside Marin quotes never see. We plan for it and price it in up front, not as a surprise change order.
• Hillside drainage erosion. On the western slope heading up toward Corte Madera Ridge, water runoff during wet winters cuts under driveway edges and walkway bases. We design drainage into every hillside hardscape from day one, so the base stays put season after season.
