AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Hollywood
A new driveway or paver patio in Hollywood typically runs between $4,500 and $18,000 depending on material, slope, and whether your property sits in the Hills or the flatlands. Most standard replacements take three to seven working days once permits clear, though historic review on an HPOZ property can add a couple of weeks before we break ground. Tom Barrett and his sons have been running paver and concrete crews in this neighborhood since 1998, and we know the difference between a flatland pour and a hillside slab that has to hold up against expansive soils and stormwater. If you’re pricing a driveway right now, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, not a phone guess.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hollywood’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re not the biggest outfit working in Hollywood, and that’s on purpose. Tom Barrett owns the company, his sons run the crews, and the people who show up at your house on Beachwood Drive or near Franklin Village are the same people whose names are on the contract. Homeowners in Hollywood call us because they’ve been burned by a national company that quoted one price over the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We put every allowance and every change order in writing before a single piece of equipment moves.
Our Hollywood customers also know we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, not a voicemail box. If you call with a cracked slab or a drainage problem, you talk to someone who knows what a grading permit is and where to check whether your block falls inside the Hollywood HPOZ. That local knowledge matters more here than in almost any neighborhood in Southern California, because the rules change block by block.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if the work isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no runaround.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Hollywood
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are a strong choice for Hollywood homes, especially in the flatland neighborhoods where drainage and curb appeal both matter. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on compacted, geotextile-separated subgrades, and we design the base depth for Hollywood’s specific soil conditions rather than using a one-size-fits-all spec. On Hills lots, we add an erosion-control layer and coordinate the steep-slope grading permit so the finished driveway doesn’t start migrating downhill in the first wet season.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Hollywood need more thought than a standard pour. The map of ZIP 90028 covers two very different worlds: flat blocks with aging infrastructure, and hillside lots with expansive soils that crack unreinforced slabs within a year or two. Our Driveway & Pavers team specs rebar or wire mesh reinforcement, proper control joints, and slab thickness appropriate to your lot’s slope and soil report. We handle the flatwork permit, the inspection sign-off, and any Hills-specific grading requirements as part of the job.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common on Hollywood’s residential blocks than concrete or pavers, but it still makes sense for longer driveways and certain mid-century properties. A typical asphalt driveway paving in Hollywood runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on square footage and whether we’re doing a full-depth install or a resurfacing over a stable base. We’ll tell you honestly if your existing base won’t support resurfacing and you’d be better off with a full replacement.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Most of the repair calls we get in Hollywood are cracked slabs, sunken sections, and water pooling against the foundation or garage. On flatland blocks near Santa Monica Boulevard, we also see driveways undermined by aging drainage lines. In the Hills, the problem is usually expansive soil movement. We rebuild failed sections with proper subgrade preparation and reinforcement, which is the difference between a repair that lasts and a patch that fails in eighteen months. Full driveway replacement in Hollywood typically runs $5,000 to $14,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For paver driveways and patios, we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc product lines, and we keep current on the paver availability at local Hollywood suppliers so lead times don’t stretch out. For windows and doors on homes where a driveway project pairs with exterior work, we install Simonton, PGT, and CGI products that meet South Florida’s wind-load requirements. If your project touches a window or door near the driveway, we’ll quote the right impact rating at the same time, so you’re not chasing two contractors.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Hillside slabs cracking from expansive soils. Hollywood Hills lots sit on soils that swell and shrink with moisture. Unreinforced flatwork fails there, plain and simple. We see slabs cracked within one rainy season because someone poured standard concrete with no rebar and no slope-specific engineering.
- Missing steep-slope grading permits. A contractor without Hills experience may skip the grading permit entirely. Then the city issues a stop-work order, the homeowner gets fined, and the half-finished driveway sits exposed for weeks while the paperwork catches up.
- HPOZ review delays on front walkways. If you live in a Hollywood historic district and the driveway apron or front walkway is part of a contributing property, the LA Office of Historic Resources gets a say. Out-of-area contractors often don’t realize this until the permit stalls.
- Drainage problems against garages and foundations. On flatland Hollywood blocks with older storm drains, water pools at the garage apron and seeps under the slab. The fix is usually a re-graded approach with a proper swale, not another coat of sealer.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Hollywood
Yes, and most Hollywood Hills lots require one. The city requires a grading permit when driveway work changes slope, disturbs more than a set amount of soil, or affects drainage on a steep lot. We coordinate that permit with the city and get the inspection sign-off before we call the job done. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your lot’s specific requirements.
The Hollywood Historic Preservation Overlay Zone requires design review for exterior alterations on contributing properties, including front walkways, driveway aprons, and some driveway materials. The LA Office of Historic Resources signs off before the permit issues. We’ve handled HPOZ reviews before and we factor that timeline into your schedule from day one, so the work doesn’t stall mid-project. For an exact timeline on your address, call us.
A standard concrete driveway is a flat pour with basic control joints. A Hills-spec driveway adds rebar or wire mesh reinforcement, a deeper engineered base, proper slope for drainage, and an erosion-control element like a swale. On Hollywood Hills expansive soils, the reinforced version lasts decades, while the standard version can crack in one wet season. Our quote always specifies which one your lot needs and why.
Yes. Permeable paver systems allow stormwater to drain through the joints and into the base, which reduces runoff and can help with drainage compliance on flatland Hollywood blocks. We’ll design it to your lot’s soil and slope conditions. For a specific recommendation on your property, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Plan on two to four additional weeks for HPOZ review before construction starts. The actual demolition and pour usually takes three to seven working days once the permit clears. We’ll give you a written schedule up front so you know exactly which stage you’re in.
If you’re thinking about a new driveway, paver patio, or concrete replacement in Hollywood, call (877) 610-1318 today. We’ll walk the site, check your permit and HPOZ status, and hand you a written estimate with real numbers. No phone guesses, no surprises at the end.
