Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Mill Valley’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When someone in Mill Valley calls about a failing paver patio or a driveway that’s settled three inches at the curb, we don’t send strangers. We send people whose names are on the truck, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look it up before you sign anything.

Mill Valley homeowners have been burned by outfits that quote one price over the phone and show up with another. We do things differently. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work begins. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. That’s how we’ve built a strong local reputation serving Mill Valley and the surrounding hills for over 29 years, with background-checked crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name on every visit.

Planning matters up here. Many Mill Valley hillside homes sit at the end of roads too narrow or steep for standard flatbed delivery trucks to navigate or turn around on. We plan for smaller vehicles, off-site staging, or crane picks to move pavers and materials to the jobsite. Out-of-area crews consistently underbid that logistics cost and then either absorb it or try to pass it on. We’ve been working these streets long enough to know exactly what a job on Blithedale Canyon or over by the 94941 side of town will take before we ever put a proposal in front of you.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Mill Valley

Our Driveway & Pavers team handles the full range of hardscape work Mill Valley homes actually need. Four services cover most of what we do.

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway is the best-looking option for Mill Valley’s hillside lots, and it handles grade changes better than poured concrete. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers systems with proper base compaction and edge restraints so individual pavers don’t wander downhill over time. On steep driveways near Tamalpais Valley, we pay extra attention to drainage so water doesn’t undermine the base.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveways remain the workhorse choice in Mill Valley, especially for the mid-century homes along East Blithedale Avenue and up into the flats. A properly poured slab with the right rebar spacing and expansion joints will hold up for decades, but the subgrade here is unforgiving. We see more failures from under-compacted fill on hillside cuts than from the concrete itself.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt works well for flatter Mill Valley lots and is the most economical hard surface we install. Resurfacing over a sound base can extend your driveway another decade, and sealing every few years protects against the moisture that sits on north-facing hillside homes under the redwood canopy. We use Quikrete products where repair and patching make more sense than full replacement.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

When a Mill Valley driveway has cracked, heaved, or developed sinkholes, the first question is always the base. We’ve pulled up slabs on hillside streets where the original builder had filled with canyon debris and oak duff. That never ends well. We’ll quote you truthfully on whether a repair will hold or a full replacement is the honest call, and the price on the proposal is the price you’ll see at the end, in writing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Mill Valley

We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For hardscape work around Mill Valley, we’re experienced with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for driveways and patios, and Quikrete for concrete repair and resurfacing. If you already have one of these systems in place and it needs service, we know how it’s supposed to perform and what’s causing the failure. Local parts runs are short here, and we keep turnaround tight for Mill Valley homeowners.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Mill Valley Homes

• Slope-driven settling and heaving. Hillside fill and clay-heavy soil shift with every wet season, and driveways that looked level in June are often out of plane by February. We address the base first, not just the surface.
• Moisture and rot under hardscape. The fog that rolls off San Francisco Bay and settles under the redwoods keeps north-facing hillside homes chronically damp. That moisture migrates under paver beds and into base layers, accelerating freeze-thaw damage in winter and loosening edge restraints.
• Gutter and drainage overflow onto paving. Mill Valley’s dense canopy drops redwood needles, bay laurel leaves, and oak litter year-round. Once gutters clog, overflow sheets across driveways and walkways, eroding joints and washing out polymeric sand between pavers.
• Narrow access on steep streets. Homes at the top of Sycamore and similar vineyard-terrace streets near the 94942 ZIP code often can’t accommodate a full-size dump truck or flatbed. We know which roads require smaller equipment and plan bids accordingly so you’re not surprised by a logistics charge later.
