A paver driveway in Lantana typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and a new concrete driveway lands between $4,500 and $12,000.

Reach Tom and the crew at (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote before you commit to anything.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, an owner-operated company founded in 1998 and run by Tom Barrett and his sons. We’ve done enough driveways in Lantana to know what works here and what doesn’t. That matters more here than in most towns, because Lantana is not a typical North Texas suburb. It’s a master-planned community with rules layered on top of Denton County permitting, and those rules apply to your driveway whether you like it or not. We handle that paperwork so you don’t have to.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
When a Lantana homeowner calls us about a driveway, the first thing we ask is whether they’ve checked with the Architectural Review Committee. Most haven’t. That’s not a knock on them. It’s just that nobody tells you the ARC has to sign off before you can replace an existing driveway with pavers, even if the new pavers go in the exact same footprint. We know the ARC process because we’ve been through it dozens of times. We know which submittal drawings they want, how long reviews typically take, and what details trigger a conditional approval. That’s local knowledge you can’t get from a national chain.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up before you sign anything. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. We answer the phone and we’ll answer your questions about pavers, concrete, post-tension slabs, and what the clay soil here actually does to a driveway over a decade. For driveways and pavers specifically, we’ve built a reputation in Lantana on jobs other contractors turned down because they didn’t want to deal with the ARC submittal. We do the submittal for you. That’s the Driveway & Pavers service we’ve offered for years, and it’s why Lantana homeowners keep our number.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Lantana
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are one of the most popular upgrades in Lantana because they handle clay-soil movement better than a monolithic pour. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with a proper compacted base and load-bearing edge restraint, because a paver driveway without edge restraint will push outward into the lawn within the first year as heavy SUVs and delivery trucks roll over it. In a community with strict curb-appeal standards, those creeping pavers become an ARC violation. We build it right the first time. A full paver driveway in Lantana runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver style, and whether we’re removing an existing slab or starting from raw ground.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Lantana sit on post-tension slabs nearly without exception. That’s the defining structural fact of this community. Before any concrete cutting, coring, or penetration, we run a GPR scan to locate the tensioned cables. Severing a single cable can crack the slab beyond repair and void the original engineering spec. We also address clay-soil movement before we ever pour, which means proper subgrade preparation and reinforcement. A new concrete driveway here runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common in Lantana, but some homeowners prefer it for long, flat runs near the frontage roads around FM 407. The challenge is North Texas heat. Asphalt softens in July and August, and without a properly compacted base, it develops wheel ruts within a few summers. We can resurface an existing asphalt driveway or start fresh, but we’re honest with Lantana homeowners about what asphalt does and doesn’t do well on Blackland Prairie soil.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Most of the driveway replacements we do in Lantana involve original 2000s-era concrete that’s spalling, cracking, or settling. Those homes are hitting the 15-to-20-year mark, and the builder-grade flatwork from that era was not always built for the shrink-swell cycles we get here. One of the most avoidable mistakes we see is installing a stamped concrete overlay on an original driveway without first addressing clay-soil surface movement. The overlay spalls within two wet-dry cycles. A full driveway replacement in Lantana runs $5,000 to $14,000, and we’ll tell you honestly if a repair makes more sense than a replacement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
On the window and door side of our work, we install product lines homeowners can actually research: Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI. On the hardscape side, we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. We don’t bring mystery materials off the back of a van. If you see a product name on an estimate, you can look it up, read the spec sheet, and see what you’re paying for. We keep common paver samples and color charts with us on Lantana estimates, because the ARC wants to see material samples with the submittal. That means faster approvals and less back-and-forth for you.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Post-tension cable strikes. A contractor cuts a control joint or drill an anchor without scanning first, severs a cable, and the slab cracks beyond repair. In Lantana, this is a specific and constant risk because the slabs are post-tensioned nearly universally. We scan every driveway before we cut.
- Paver creep from missing edge restraint. A new paver driveway looks great for six months, then the edges start spreading into the lawn. No load-bearing edge restraint means the pavers have nothing holding them under vehicle load. We install restraint on every paver driveway we build.
- Clay-soil surface movement under overlays. A stamped or stained overlay goes over an older slab that’s flexing with the seasons, and the overlay spalls within a couple of wet-dry cycles. This is a big one in Lantana because the Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts aggressively. You have to fix the base movement first.
- ARC stop-work orders. Work begins without the Architectural Review Committee’s approval, and then the job gets shut down mid-demolition. We’ve watched it happen to neighbors. We submit the ARC paperwork before we touch the driveway, so you don’t lose a season to a stop-work order.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Lantana, TX
We don’t quote one price on the phone and show up with another. Every scope, every allowance, every line item goes in writing before work begins. If anything changes, you get a written change order before a single paver moves. Here’s what the common driveway and paver work runs in this market:

| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 - $14,000 |

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Lantana
Yes. Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee approval is required before any driveway or paver installation, even replacing an existing driveway with identical materials. Neighboring Argyle and Bartonville don’t have that second layer of review, but Lantana does, and the ARC can issue a stop-work order if they find unapproved work in progress. We handle the submittal for you, including material samples and drawings, so you’re not dealing with the paperwork alone. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
The answer is in the base preparation more than the pavers themselves. Lantana sits on North Texas Blackland Prairie clay, which swells after spring rains and shrinks in summer drought. We excavate and compact a proper aggregate base, install geotextile fabric when needed, and build load-bearing edge restraint around the perimeter. The pavers flex slightly with soil movement instead of cracking like a rigid slab. A properly built paver driveway in Lantana can handle those wet-dry cycles without the spalling and cracking you see on older concrete.
Only if a GPR scan confirms no tensioned cable runs through the cut line. Lantana’s homes were built almost entirely on post-tension slabs, and severing even one cable can cause irreversible structural damage and immediate liability under the original builder’s engineering specs. We scan every driveway before cutting or coring, and we’ll show you the scan marking the cable locations. Do not let anyone cut into your Lantana driveway without a scan first.
An allowance is a dollar amount set aside for a material or scope that isn’t fully specified yet, like a specific paver color or edge detail. A change order is a written document that changes the scope or price after the original contract is signed, and it’s signed before that work happens. We put both in writing, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. If something changes on your paver driveway, you’ll see it in writing before we proceed. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item estimate with every allowance spelled out.
No. Drainage needs to be addressed as part of the driveway design, and Lantana’s flat build-out means water can pool against the foundation if the slope isn’t engineered correctly. We grade the new slab away from the home and, where needed, install drains or swales that move water off the slab and away from the foundation. The ARC also reviews drainage in their submittal, so it’s better to get it right on paper than to fix a water problem later. For an exact quote, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free.
