AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across New Braunfels
If you’re in New Braunfels and your driveway is cracking, sinking, or turning into a gravel-streaked mess after every Hill Country rain, you already know the drill: half-hearted patches that fail by the next freeze-thaw cycle. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been fixing and installing driveways and hardscapes throughout 78130, 78131, 78132, and 78135 for long enough to know exactly what this soil does to concrete and pavers. The limestone shelf under much of New Braunfels doesn’t drain like the flat clay down toward Seguin, and that changes how a base gets built. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in New Braunfels. That’s not a marketing line. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. When we quote a paver driveway off Walnut Avenue or a concrete replacement near Landa Park, the price comes to you in writing. If the scope changes, you get a written change order before work moves. No end-of-job surprise invoice. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything.
We’ve worked in Gruene, in the older neighborhoods off Common Street, and in the newer subdivisions pushing toward Canyon Lake. That matters because a stamped concrete driveway in 78132 behaves differently than one on the flats of 78130. We bid accordingly, and we back every completed job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, Tom comes back. One call.
This is not a franchise dispatching strangers on rotation. The same faces who measure your driveway in the morning are the ones tamping base and setting pavers by afternoon. We carry background-checked crew members, and every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. That includes driveways where curb cuts and drainage tie into city right-of-way. The inspector works for you, not for me, and I like it that way.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in New Braunfels
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in New Braunfels typically runs $7,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, base depth, and whether we’re dealing with caliche or limestone during excavation. We install Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavers products, which gives you a surface that handles the wet-dry cycle better than a monolithic slab because pavers flex with the soil instead of cracking against it. The permeable joint material also helps in parts of 78130 where drainage toward the Comal River can overload older storm systems.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
New concrete driveway installation in New Braunfels runs $4,500-$12,000 for a standard two-car width. We build over a properly compacted, often rock-cut base, not a scraped-off topsoil pad. In the caliche-heavy ground along the 78132 corridor, we’ll bring in a hydraulic breaker where needed rather than pretending the rock isn’t there. You get a driveway that actually drains and doesn’t heave after two wet winters. We also handle walkways, pool decks, and stem walls where your existing concrete meets the house.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in New Braunfels generally runs $3,500-$9,000, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway that’s worn but structurally sound is toward the lower end. Asphalt performs well on the flatter lots of 78130 and 78135, though we recommend sealing every two to three years given the summer UV load. We can lay a fresh asphalt drive in a couple of days and have it ready for light vehicle use within a week. Full cure takes longer, and we’ll tell you exactly when to park on it.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in New Braunfels runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on material and the condition of the base beneath the old surface. We see plenty of 2000s-era tract homes in newer subdivisions off FM 306 and Walnut Avenue where the original driveway was poured over poorly prepared ground. Patching those is throwing money away. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s a repair or a replace job, and we’ll price both so you can decide with real numbers, not sales pressure.
Beyond driveways, our Driveway & Pavers team builds patios, walkways, pool decks, and brick paver driveways across New Braunfels. Paver patio installation typically runs $3,500-$11,000. Driveway sealing for protection against Texas sun and oil staining runs $250-$700.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels
We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers products across New Braunfels because they hold color and edge tolerance well through the freeze-thaw and UV cycles we get here. For concrete work, we use Quikrete mixes specified for Central Texas temperature swings, not whatever’s stacked at the nearest big box. We also repair and level existing paver systems, including older Oldcastle product lines. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your driveway before we start, and you can look up every product name yourself.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
- Heaving slabs on expansive clay-over-limestone. The wet-dry cycle in New Braunfels can lift a poorly prepared slab an inch or more between seasons. Proper base prep and expansion joints are the difference between a driveway that lasts 20 years and one that cracks in five.
- Pavers sinking where gutters dump water. In neighborhoods like Veramendi and Vintage Oaks, we regularly see paver edges dipping at downspout outlets because the original install didn’t route drainage away from the base. We fix the grading, not just the pavers.
- Caliche breaking equipment and budgets. Along the 78132 corridor toward Canyon Lake, it’s common to hit caliche hardpan two feet down. Out-of-town bidders often miss this until the crew is on site. We price it in from the start because we already know where it is.
- Stamped concrete delaminating in full sun. On west-facing driveways across New Braunfels without shade, we see surface flaking where a sealer wasn’t maintained or was applied too thickly. It’s usually repairable without a full tear-out if caught before the base spalls.

What moves the number: excavation depth into rock, square footage, whether the existing base is salvageable, and drainage work. If you’re in a flood-zone parcel in 78130 or low-lying 78132, we may need to adjust the base elevation to keep the driveway from becoming a secondary drainage channel. We’ll put that in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in New Braunfels
Typically within a few business days, and often sooner for properties in 78130 and 78132. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule. You’ll get a live person on the phone, not a voicemail tree.
We cover all of 78130, 78131, 78132, and 78135, including Gruene, Landa Park, Veramendi, Vintage Oaks, and the Canyon Lake Road corridor. We’re familiar with the soil shifts and drainage quirks in each of these areas because we’ve built and repaired driveways in all of them.
For safety hazards like a failed retaining edge that someone could trip on, or a slab that has heaved and is now catching car bumpers, we’ll get a crew out quickly. Call (877) 610-1318 and describe what you’re seeing. If it’s not urgent, we’ll still schedule you promptly and tell you what to watch for in the meantime.
Sometimes, and for a specific reason: excavation in the Hill Country limestone and caliche we have here takes longer than the flat blackland clay around Seguin. A paver driveway that runs $7,000 in Schertz could run $9,000 in 78132 if we’re breaking rock all day. We bill that honestly and show you the excavation line item in writing. You’ll never see a hidden “rock charge” appear at the end.
Every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right. One call. For material warranties, the manufacturer terms apply, and we’ll walk you through what Techo-Bloc or Cambridge Pavers covers on your specific product before installation begins.
