AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Fort Worth
Driveway and paver work in Fort Worth costs most homeowners between $3,500 and $18,000 depending on the material, the size of the run, and how much of the old base has to come out first. If you’re in 76111, 76114, or anywhere on the west side where the Blackland Clay sits right under the topsoil, that number matters more than you might think. Barrett & Sons Construction has laid paver drives, stamped concrete, and asphalt resurfacing all over Fort Worth, and we also offer Roofing in Fort Worth for homeowners who want one crew they trust. We quote every job the same way: in writing, with a scope that doesn’t move unless you sign a change order. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll send someone out to walk your driveway with you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fort Worth’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and the reason people in Fort Worth call us back a second time is simple: the name on the estimate is the name on the truck. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they’re on-site most days. Fort Worth homeowners in areas like Fairmount and Ryan Place have been asking for paver driveways that fit a historic district’s look without triggering a design review headache, and we’ve been through enough of those to know what gets approved and what gets sent back.
We’re not the cheapest bid in Fort Worth, and we don’t try to be. What you get instead is a written line-item quote, permits pulled on every eligible job, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. No dispatch center, no out-of-state call center. When you call, a person answers.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Fort Worth
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Fort Worth typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and the big variable isn’t the pavers themselves, it’s the base. The Blackland Clay in this city shrinks in July and swells in April, and if you put pavers on top of a base that wasn’t built to flex, the joints walk apart within two seasons. We excavate deep, lay a proper aggregate base, and use edge restraint that holds. For driveways in historic neighborhoods like Fairmount, we also work within the Materials and Design Standards the Landmarks Commission expects, so your paver selection doesn’t get flagged during Certificate of Appropriateness review.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Fort Worth runs $4,500 to $12,000, and poured slabs are one place where this city’s soil will test you. We saw a driveway in 76112 crack end-to-end because the pour didn’t include enough control joints and the clay under the east side heaved after a wet October. We saw it, we priced the fix, and we got a change order signed before we busted out the old slab. That’s how we work. Driveway & Pavers jobs like this are what our crews do most often in Fort Worth.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Fort Worth runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a new lay, and resurfacing usually lands in the lower half of that, assuming the existing base is still sound. Asphalt holds up reasonably well here, but the freeze-thaw cycles during our ice storms open up small cracks fast, and once water gets into the base, the Blackland Clay underneath does the rest. Sealing a Fort Worth asphalt driveway runs $250 to $700 and is the cheapest money you’ll spend against a full replacement.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Fort Worth runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on whether we’re pulling concrete, asphalt, or lifting and resetting existing pavers. If your driveway has dropped and we’re in a pier-and-beam neighborhood from the 1940s, we’ll check the condition of the adjacent foundation before we start pouring new material, because in this city, a driveway that’s sinking is often a symptom of clay movement that doesn’t stop at the property line. Replacement in a home with settlement issues means the base work is the job, not an afterthought.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Worth
We install pavers from Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Master Halco in Fort Worth, names you can look up yourself before you sign anything. Fort Worth customers in areas like Ryan Place and the Near Southside often request Belgard’s older-style paver lines to match period homes, and we keep those catalogues in the truck. Our team also handles window and door work with Simonton and Ply Gem products, because a driveway project sometimes turns into a front-entry refresh and it’s easier when the same crew handles both.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes
- Clay heave and shrinkage: Fort Worth sits on expansive Blackland Clay, and a dry summer followed by a wet fall will move your driveway more than most people think. Control joints help, but they have to be cut deep and laid out for this soil, not for a generic Texas spec.
- Ice-storm freeze damage: We’re squarely in the ice-storm belt, and the February 2021 freeze opened cracks across Fort Worth driveways from 76113 to Haltom City. Small spider cracks from ice are normal, but if water pools and refreezes inside a joint, the damage grows fast.
- Historic-district material restrictions: In Fairmount and Ryan Place, exterior hardscape changes fall under the Historic and Cultural Landmarks overlay. You can’t just pour any concrete or lay any paver color; there’s a review process, and we’ve been through it enough times to help you submit the right package the first time.
- Old ranch-home driveways on piers: A lot of the 1950s and 1960s ranches around 76109 and 76110 have original single-width concrete drives that were poured before anyone parked two full-size trucks. We see cracked edges, spalled surfaces, and bases that were never more than a few inches of sand.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Fort Worth
A paver driveway in Fort Worth runs $7,000 to $18,000, with the final number driven mostly by the size of the driveway and the depth of the base we need to build to handle the local clay. Paver patios run $3,500 to $11,000. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written quote with all the line items broken out, free.
Yes, in most cases, and the fix might cost a few hundred dollars if it’s sealing and joint work, or a few thousand if we’re cutting out and repouring a failed section. The honest answer is that a lot of Fort Worth driveways need base work, not just a topcoat, and we won’t sell you a resurface over a base that’s already moving. Estimates are free, so call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what’s really going on.
Yes, we pull permits on every eligible driveway job in Fort Worth, including work in historic districts where the permit review goes through the Landmarks Commission. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s the way we like it. If a contractor tells you permits are optional on a paver or concrete project in Fort Worth, get a second opinion.
For estimates, we can typically get someone out to your Fort Worth property within a few days, and sealing or small repair jobs can often be scheduled inside a week. Bigger replacements depend on our current schedule and the weather, but we’ll give you a written start date and we’ll honor it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.
Not unless something changes in the scope and you sign a change order for it first. That’s the whole point of how we work in Fort Worth: every allowance, every price change, and every surprise we find in the ground goes onto paper before work proceeds. If the clay reveals something we didn’t expect, you’ll see it in writing with a price, and you’ll approve it before we touch it.
If your driveway is cracking, heaving, or just worn out, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We’ll walk the site, give you a written price, and tell you straight what needs doing. Serving Fort Worth, TX, with Driveway & Pavers work done right, in writing.
