AfterPaver Driveways Are a Bigger Deal in Lighthouse Point Than the Last Guy Told You
The canal-front lots in Lighthouse Point sit low, and the water table starts higher in the wet months than most homeowners realize. That single local fact changes how a driveway should be built here: base depth, drainage strategy, and paver choice all get decided by conditions that don’t exist in Pompano Beach or Coconut Creek. A paver driveway in Lighthouse Point typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and the difference between the low and high end usually comes down to what’s under the pavers, not which paver you pick.
That’s the conversation Tom Barrett has on the first visit. He’s been building in South Florida since 1998, and he’ll tell you straightforward: on a canal lot, the base is the project. Skip that and the pavers shift within three years. Do it right and the driveway outlasts the mortgage.
Our crews work in Lighthouse Point regularly, and we answer the phone when you call: (877) 610-1318.

We’re not a marketing company with subcontractors. Barrett & Sons Construction is Tom Barrett, his sons, and crews who carry the family name.

We work on canal-front homes in Lighthouse Point almost weekly, so we know what the Broward County permit office expects and what the Lighthouse Point building department flags. Seawall setbacks, lot coverage rules, the variance process that surprises out-of-area contractors: we’ve handled all of it. Homeowners in Lighthouse Point don’t need a contractor learning local code on their dime.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Lighthouse Point
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the most common request we get in the 33064 ZIP. The canal lots here were platted narrow and deep, which means longer driveways than a typical inland property. Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers work well on these runs because the interlocking system handles the expansion and contraction that South Florida heat puts on materials. We price the install with the base built for Lighthouse Point conditions: compacted limestone with proper drainage away from the seawall, not toward it.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A concrete driveway in Lighthouse Point typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. On older CBS homes built between 1955 and 1985, we’re often replacing original slabs that cracked decades ago and got patched repeatedly. The high seasonal water table here means we pour with control joints spaced for slab movement, and we use hot-dipped galvanized reinforcement because salt-laden air eats uncoated rebar faster a few blocks from the Intracoastal than it does inland.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt isn’t the first choice for every Lighthouse Point home, but it works on flat lots and long approaches. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway is cheaper than a full replacement if the base is sound. We’ll tell you honestly if the base is not sound, because resurfacing over a failing base is a two-year driveway.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Replacing a driveway in Lighthouse Point runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on scope. Concrete spalling near the street edge happens everywhere, but salt water accelerates it here. If your pavers have settled into low spots near the canal side of the property, the fix usually means pulling the affected section, rebuilding the base, and reinstalling, not just slapping more sand on top.
When the scope overlaps with something bigger, we also handle Home Additions & ADU in Lighthouse Point, where a driveway rework often gets folded into the addition plan so you’re not tearing up the yard twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We stock and order premium materials you can look up: Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers appear on most of our Lighthouse Point hardscape jobs. If a project involves windows or doors alongside the driveway scope, we work with PGT and Simonton products that hold up to the salt air near the Intracoastal. No mystery brands off a van. For homeowners planning a broader renovation, we also handle Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point, and most of our Driveway & Pavers work pairs naturally with expanded patios and walkways.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-air corrosion under the surface. Uncoated steel mesh and fasteners degrade fast within a few blocks of the Intracoastal. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware on every Lighthouse Point job, because the last contractor’s materials choice is usually why the slab is failing.
- Water-table-driven base failure. The seasonal groundwater sits within 18 to 24 inches of grade here. During the June-to-October wet season, improperly drained bases turn saturated and pavers start moving. We build the drainage layer to handle Lighthouse Point’s wet season, not a dry inland average.
- Original 1950s-80s slabs at end of life. Many canal-front homes in Lighthouse Point still carry their original concrete work. Those slabs predate modern joint spacing and reinforcement standards. When we replace them, we do it under current Broward County code with permits pulled.
- Seawall setback conflicts on tear-out projects. The finger-canal lots are narrow, and the required rear setback sometimes overlaps the seawall setback. That triggers a variance before work starts. We flag this on the estimate so the timeline includes the six-to-ten-week variance process from day one.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Lighthouse Point
How fast can Barrett & Sons get to a driveway job in Lighthouse Point?
We schedule most Lighthouse Point estimates within a few business days, and because our crews are working in the area regularly, work often starts within two to three weeks of a signed contract. That timeline depends on permit turnaround and whether a variance applies to your canal lot. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight schedule along with the estimate.
Do you cover all of Lighthouse Point, including the canal-front streets?
We cover every street in the 33064 ZIP, from the wide canals off Sample Road to the quiet residential loops east of Federal Highway. Canal-front properties are a large share of our work here, so we’re comfortable with seawall proximity on every job. Just tell us your address when you call and we’ll confirm same week availability.
Is paver driveway repair handled as emergency service in Lighthouse Point?
Most driveway work is planned work, not emergency work. If a vehicle hit a section of pavers or a tree root has heaved a walkway, we’ll get out quickly to assess and stabilize what’s dangerous. For urgent issues, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will help sort what’s urgent from what can wait a week.
Why do driveway prices in Lighthouse Point run higher than inland cities like Coconut Creek?
The water table and salt-air corrosion drive the difference. A driveway on a canal lot needs deeper base prep, better drainage, and corrosion-resistant reinforcement than a driveway on dry inland soil. Those are real materials and labor, not markup. Our prices reflect what it takes to build a driveway in Lighthouse Point that lasts.
Does the 90-Day Done Right Promise apply to driveway and pavers work in Lighthouse Point?
Yes. Every driveway, paver, patio, and walkway job we complete in Lighthouse Point comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call to (877) 610-1318 is all it takes.
