Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Del Aire
Most driveway and paver jobs in Del Aire run between $3,500 and $18,000 depending on material and square footage, and a full replacement or new paver installation typically takes one to two weeks once we start. If you’re calling from anywhere in the 90251 and your driveway is cracked, sinking, or just tired after sixty years of service, we’ll come out, walk the site with you, and put a line-item price in your hand before any work begins. You can reach us directly at (877) 610-1318.
Del Aire is an unincorporated LA County pocket, which means your permit runs through the LA County Department of Public Works in Alhambra, not a city hall down the street. We’ve pulled enough permits through that office to know the timeline and the code interpretations, and that local knowledge keeps your project from stalling. This isn’t a city where a contractor can wing it on paperwork and hope nobody notices. We handle the process from the first submittal to the final inspection sign-off because you shouldn’t have to learn LA County bureaucracy to get a driveway poured.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Del Aire’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable before you ever sign a contract. That matters in a small community like Del Aire, where the man who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same man who shows up with the crew. Tom’s sons run most of the job sites, and they live close enough that a warranty issue doesn’t sit on a calendar for weeks.
We don’t lean on vague quality claims. Every job comes with a written change order process, so if the scope shifts on your paver patio or your concrete walkway, you see the new number in writing before a single additional dollar gets spent. That’s rare in driveway work, where too many outfits quote one number and then discover problems after the demo starts. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no runaround.
Del Aire’s housing stock is almost entirely post-WWII single-family tract homes from the late 1940s through the 1960s. That means we regularly deal with original concrete slabs that have outlived their useful life, tree roots from mature ficus and juniper that have pushed through old driveways, and property lines that aren’t always where the fence says they are. Having done this work here for years, we know what to expect before we dig. We also answer our own phones, live, 24/7, because a cracked driveway that’s getting worse doesn’t wait for business hours.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Del Aire
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Del Aire typically run $7,000 to $18,000 depending on the size of the approach and the paver you choose. We work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc products, which you can look up yourself and verify. The marine layer and salt-laden air that drifts over from the El Segundo coastline means we lean toward pavers with a denser surface and proper sealing, because cheap pavers here show wear from coastal moisture faster than they do a few miles inland. A paver driveway also lets you replace individual units if a section sinks or stains, which is a real advantage on older lots where underground drainage shifts over time.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A new concrete driveway in Del Aire runs $4,500 to $12,000, and we pour at the right depth for the soil you actually have, not a generic slab. Many Del Aire homes sit on compacted sandy loam that drains well but can shift with seasonal moisture changes, so we pay extra attention to base preparation and joint placement. We also handle stamped concrete driveways, walkways, and patios where you want the look of stone without the unit-paver cost. Concrete curbs, aprons, and approach work all fall under this too, and we’ll match the pitch and finish to your existing walk.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Del Aire runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential driveway, and resurfacing an existing asphalt drive comes in lower than a full tear-out. Asphalt does well in this climate because it flexes slightly with the temperature swings and handles the marine moisture without spalling the way older concrete does. If your current asphalt has alligator cracking or low spots that hold water after rain, we’ll tell you honestly whether a resurface will fix it or whether the base has failed and needs replacement. You get that answer in writing before you spend a cent.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Del Aire runs $5,000 to $14,000 and becomes necessary when the base underneath has failed, not just the surface. We see a lot of this in the older tract-home sections where original concrete from the 1950s has cracked along the control joints, shifted near the street apron, or developed sinkholes around old irrigation lines. We’ll haul off the old material, re-grade, compact, and build it back to current LA County code. If you’re lifting or leveling a section rather than replacing the whole drive, that’s usually a smaller repair, and we’ll quote it honestly either way.
We also cover patios, walkways, pool decks, brick paver driveways, stamped concrete, and driveway sealing across Del Aire, and we can handle Del Aire Bathroom Remodeling as well. Sealing alone runs $250 to $700 and is the single best maintenance dollar you can spend on an asphalt drive here, given how much salt and moisture the coastal air pushes onto your property.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Del Aire Homes
- Salt air and marine-layer corrosion on exposed steel and fasteners. Del Aire sits just inland from the El Segundo coast and spends most mornings under a marine layer, which means steel rebar, gate hinges, and aluminum edging corrode faster here than in inland LA County. We select materials and coatings accordingly, and we’ll tell you when a cheaper material will cost you more in five years.
- Original 1950s concrete slabs with failed bases. Most Del Aire homes were built between the late 1940s and the 1960s, and their original driveways were poured without rebar or proper base compaction. We regularly see slabs that look fine on top but are structurally done underneath, which is why we always assess the base before recommending repair over replacement.
- Tree root damage from mature ficus and juniper. Del Aire’s older lots often have large trees planted decades ago, and their roots push up concrete and shift pavers over time. We’ll work around the roots where possible and recommend a root barrier in the rebuild to keep the new surface flat longer.
- Permit complications from unincorporated county status. Because Del Aire runs under LA County Department of Public Works jurisdiction, not a city building department, certain driveway and hardscape projects have a different approval path than they would in Hawthorne or El Segundo next door. We know which projects need permits and which don’t, and we never tell you permits are optional when they aren’t.

Del Aire pricing runs in line with the South Bay corridor, so a concrete driveway here at $4,500 to $12,000 is similar to what you’d pay in Hawthorne or Lawndale. The bigger variable in Del Aire is the permitting path through LA County Department of Public Works, which can add time to certain projects compared to an incorporated city. We build that time into our schedule and our quote so you’re not surprised later.

Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered before you sign.
