AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Loomis
Driveway and paver work in Loomis, CA runs anywhere from $3,500 for a paver patio to $18,000 for a full paver driveway, with concrete driveways typically landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Most jobs take 3 to 7 days once excavation starts, but permitting and material lead times often add 2 to 4 weeks before the first shovel hits dirt. If you’re on a ranchette off King Road or in the older neighborhoods near the railroad tracks, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your project actually needs. We’ve been doing this since 1998, and our crews know Loomis soils better than any dispatch-based outfit ever will.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Loomis’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re the company where Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck and his sons run the crews. No subcontractor roulette, no strangers at your door. When we work in Loomis, we’re dealing with the same clay soils, the same Placer County permit office, and the same WUI map that you deal with. That means we don’t show up and act surprised when the county asks about septic capacity or fire-resistant materials. We already planned for it.
Our Loomis customers call us directly, and a live person answers 24/7, not a voicemail box. We carry written change orders on every job, so the price you sign is the price you pay, unless you approve a change in writing first. Tom publishes his license number and address. Look him up before you sign anything. That’s the whole point.
Scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our Sacramento office, but the crews serving Loomis are local to the foothills. We know the difference between a subdivision lot near Taylor Road and a 5-acre parcel off Horseshoe Bar Road, because the base prep is not the same. And if something’s not right after we leave, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means Tom comes back. One call. That’s it.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Loomis
We handle the full scope of Driveway & Pavers work, from brand-new paver driveways to concrete flatwork repairs on homes built in the 1960s. Here’s what Loomis homeowners call us for most often.
Paver Driveways
A properly built paver driveway in Loomis starts with excavation deep enough to remove the expansive clay, not just skim the surface. We install a geotextile separator and compacted Class II aggregate base before a single paver goes down. This is the difference between a driveway that still looks flat after five wet winters and one that develops birdbath depressions by March. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers products, which means you can look up the material specs yourself instead of trusting whatever came off a van.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in Loomis has a narrow window. Summer highs of 98 to 104°F accelerate surface drying, which causes shrinkage cracking if the pour isn’t managed carefully. We schedule pours in the early morning, use proper curing methods, and cut control joints at the right time. For stamped concrete driveways, we bring the same discipline, because a stamp pattern doesn’t hide a bad pour. It highlights it.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt works fine in Loomis when the base is right. The problem is that many older asphalt driveways here sit on 3 inches of sand over adobe clay. The clay swells in winter and shrinks in summer, and the asphalt cracks. We do full-depth reclamation on failing asphalt driveways, which means we rebuild the base, not just smear a new layer on top and call it a day. Resurfacing is an option when the base is still solid, and we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Some Loomis driveways can be repaired with targeted saw cuts and panel replacement. Others need to come out entirely. We’ll walk the site with you, show you what we’re seeing, and put the scope in writing before any work starts. If the old base is shot, replacement usually costs less in the long run than chasing cracks every two years. We’ll give you both numbers and let you decide.

If you want a specific product, tell us and we’ll order it.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Expansive clay heave and settlement. Loomis sits on clay-rich soils that shrink in the dry season and swell when winter rains arrive. Without a compacted aggregate base and proper drainage, slabs crack and pavers shift within two to three seasons.
- WUI map surprises during permitting. Many Loomis subdivisions fall in Placer County’s High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. A driveway replacement that triggers a WUI review can stop a job cold if the owner didn’t check the map first. We check it before we quote.
- Oak roots under the driveway. On ranchette parcels, mature oaks send roots under driveways and patios. We plan for root barriers or adjust the layout to protect the tree and the hardscape, because cutting a major root can kill a 200-year-old oak.
- Septic leach field conflicts. Many Loomis properties use private septic systems, not municipal sewer. A driveway expansion or paver patio that encroaches on the leach field can require Placer County Environmental Health sign-off. We coordinate that before excavation starts.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Loomis
Yes, if your property falls within Placer County’s WUI overlay, a paver driveway replacement can trigger a fire-resistance review, even when you’re just swapping one hardscape for another. The county checks ignition-resistant materials and access for emergency vehicles. We pull the permits and coordinate the review before we order materials. Call (877) 610-1318 for a permit check on your specific parcel.
Clay soils shrink and swell with Loomis’s wet-dry cycle, which means rigid concrete slabs crack unless the base is engineered for it. Pavers flex at the joints, so they tolerate minor soil movement better, but they still need a proper compacted base or they’ll sink and shift. We design both systems around the clay, not against it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you which material fits your site.
You can try, but most Loomis homeowners find that coordinating excavation, base compaction, material delivery, WUI review, septic clearances, and inspections is a full-time job with a steep learning curve. We’ve fixed enough owner-coordinated projects to know the pitfalls firsthand. Our written scope covers all of it, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise backs the finished work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a no-pressure estimate.
Materials, almost always. Once excavation starts, a standard paver driveway installs in 3 to 5 days. But Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers lead times can stretch 2 to 4 weeks depending on the product and color. We order materials the day you sign the contract, and we put the delivery date in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you current lead times for the exact paver you want.
It can, if the new driveway or paver area encroaches on your leach field or wellhead setback. Placer County Environmental Health requires sign-off on any construction within those zones. We flag this during the estimate, not after excavation starts. This is exactly why we check property records before we quote. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a site walk.
