AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across El Segundo
Driveway and paver work in El Segundo runs $7000 to $18000 for a full paver driveway, $4500 to $12000 for poured concrete, and $250 to $700 for sealing, depending on square footage, base condition, and whether FAA or environmental reviews come into play. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we have been replacing, repairing, and rebuilding driveways and hardscapes across the 90245 zip code long enough to know which blocks sit on tight 1940s bungalow lots and which back up against the refinery corridor.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is El Segundo’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Homeowners here are done with outfits that quote one number and bill another. We write the scope, the allowances, and every change order on paper before the work starts. That habit matters more in El Segundo than almost anywhere else, because FAA Part 77 airspace rules and Chevron-corridor environmental triggers can add steps to a driveway project that a contractor from out of town hasn’t dealt with and won’t price correctly.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look us up before you sign anything. Our standing offers in El Segundo: $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.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. The crews on El Segundo jobs are Tom’s sons and their teams, background-checked and wearing our name on their shirts. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in El Segundo
Here is what we handle most often across El Segundo. If yours isn’t listed, call anyway. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s in our wheelhouse.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in El Segundo typically runs $7000 to $18000. The price spread comes down to paver choice (Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers are two brands we install regularly), square footage, and what we find under the old surface. On El Segundo’s sandy coastal soils, we compact the aggregate subbase in lifts and spec marine-grade edge restraints. Skip that step and pavers shift within a few years. We don’t skip it.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation here runs $4500 to $12000. We also handle stamped concrete driveways, walkways, and pool decks. For homes in the Grand Ave-Sepulveda Blvd grid, we’re usually replacing slabs poured in the 1950s and 1960s, often with rebar that has rusted from decades of salt-laden marine air. We remove the failed base, not just the surface. A patch job on compromised steel fails fast.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving runs $3500 to $9000, and resurfacing usually lands on the lower half of that range. Asphalt makes sense for longer driveways and side yards. Sealing runs $250 to $700 and buys real time against the marine layer’s moisture and the salt that rides in off the Pacific. We can tell you whether your driveway needs sealing, resurfacing, or full replacement after looking at it.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in El Segundo runs $5000 to $14000. Repairs are smaller: cracked sections, failed edge restraints, sunken pavers near the curb. We inspect what’s underneath before we quote. If the subbase is gone, the fix is a rebuild, not a skim coat. We’ll say so in plain words, and the price will match what you signed.

Trusted Brands We Service in El Segundo
We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers on most El Segundo paver jobs because they hold up in coastal exposure better than budget alternatives. For concrete work, we use Quikrete mixes specified for marine environments when the job calls for it. You can look up every brand we quote. No mystery materials off a van. If you want to see samples before deciding, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll bring them to your house.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in El Segundo Homes
- Corroded metal edge restraints and driveway drains. Salt-laden marine air eats galvanized steel faster here than even a few miles inland. We install hot-dip galvanized or stainless edge restraints and marine-grade drains on coastal exposure projects, because substituting cheaper hardware saves a few hundred dollars up front and costs thousands in a few years.
- Failed subbase under 1950s and 1960s slabs. The post-war homes around Grand Ave, Sepulveda Blvd, and Imperial Hwy often sit on sandy coastal soil. Without proper compaction and drainage, the base shifts, concrete cracks, and pavers sink. We rebuild the base, not just the top layer.
- Phase I/II environmental triggers near the refinery corridor. The Chevron refinery has operated in El Segundo since 1911. Ground-disturbing work on parcels near the industrial boundary can trigger a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and sometimes Phase II soil testing. We’ve coordinated these before. We’ll tell you up front if your address is likely to need one.
- FAA Part 77 airspace review on projects with elevated structures. El Segundo sits directly adjacent to LAX’s south runway complex. Every construction project in the city falls within FAA Part 77 Obstruction Evaluation airspace. If your driveway or paver project involves any elevated structure or equipment, an FAA aeronautical study may be required. We handle that filing as part of the permit process.

On One El Segundo Paver Driveway Near Grand Ave and Sepulveda Blvd
We replaced a paver driveway in the residential grid not long ago. The original 1950s subbase had been quietly failing for years. Salt-laden marine air had corroded the steel rebar, creating hidden voids under the concrete. The homeowner saw cracked pavers at the surface. What we found underneath was a hollow base that would have swallowed any surface-level fix within two seasons.
We removed the failed base, installed a new compacted aggregate subbase with hot-dip galvanized edge restraints, and laid a permeable paver system built for coastal salt spray. No change orders. No surprise invoice. The permit inspector signed off, and the homeowner got a driveway that will outlast the next few marine layers. That’s the job done the way we think it should be done every time: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in El Segundo
Yes, if your project involves any elevated structure or equipment, because every address in El Segundo falls within FAA Part 77 Obstruction Evaluation airspace due to the city’s adjacency to LAX’s south runway complex. The height thresholds here are far lower than in any neighboring city, so a filing that would never come up in Hawthorne or Marina del Rey is routine here. We handle that paperwork as part of the permit process. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address before you spend a dollar.
Because the Chevron refinery has operated in El Segundo since 1911, and parcels near the industrial corridor can carry legacy hydrocarbon or heavy-metal soil contamination. Ground-disturbing work near the refinery boundary routinely triggers Phase I and sometimes Phase II environmental site assessments before a footing is poured. We’ve coordinated these reviews on El Segundo jobs before, and we’ll tell you up front if your project is likely to need one.
We recommend Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers with hot-dip galvanized or stainless edge restraints, because El Segundo’s persistent salt-laden marine air accelerates corrosion of standard steel hardware faster than even a few miles inland. Cheaper galvanized edging rusts out within a few years here. The small cost difference buys you a decade or more. Call (877) 610-1318 for material samples and a written quote.
We dig. On 1940s-1960s homes in the Grand Ave-Sepulveda Blvd grid, the original subbase is frequently compromised by rusted rebar and shifting sandy soils, creating voids you can’t see from the surface. We inspect the base before quoting, then write the remediation into the contract as an allowance so there are no surprise change orders later. If we find worse conditions after we start, you get a written change order before we proceed.
No. Sealing an existing asphalt driveway in El Segundo does not require a permit. Sealcoating is surface maintenance, and we can usually schedule it quickly. If the asphalt is cracked or crumbling enough to need full replacement, that’s different. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you which one yours needs.
