AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Ontario
Driveway and paver work in Ontario runs about $4,500 to $18,000 depending on the material and square footage, and the smartest first step is a written line-item estimate before anyone digs. We work across Ontario from the older neighborhoods around Euclid Avenue to the newer Ontario Ranch tracts south of the 60, and we know what this soil does to flatwork. Ontario’s summer heat and the Santa Ana winds off the Cajon Pass punish driveways hard, so material choice and base prep matter more here than almost anywhere else in the Inland Empire. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, walk the site, and give you a number in writing.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ontario’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re the crew your neighbor already knows. Barrett & Sons has been owned and operated by Tom Barrett since 1998, and Tom’s sons run the crews that show up in Ontario. When you call, a live person answers. When something needs fixing, Tom’s the one who comes back. That’s the whole arrangement, and it’s written into our 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract.
Ontario homeowners tell us the same story over and over: a big-name company quoted one price on the phone, sent a subcontracted crew they’d never met, and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t operate that way. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. If it’s not on paper, it’s a surprise waiting for a date. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look him up before you sign anything.
We also know Ontario’s ground. The older core around 91762 and 91764 sits on soil that’s been settling since the 1920s. Ontario Ranch, down in 91761, was aggressively cut-and-filled when the vineyards and dairies got cleared for tract housing. We’ve seen differential settlement crack brand-new driveways within a few years. That local knowledge changes how we prep a base, and it’s why our estimates from Ontario jobs don’t look like what a franchised outfit would write.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Ontario
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Ontario give you the best balance of looks and repairability, which matters when the Santa Anas blow through and tree limbs come down on your apron. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, brands you can look up, not mystery product off a van. A typical Ontario paver driveway runs $7,000 to $18,000. Individual pavers can be swapped if one cracks, which concrete can’t match.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Ontario’s July and August heat forces concrete pours into pre-dawn hours. If the water evaporates too fast, the surface spalls and you’ll see hairline crazing within a season. We schedule pours before sunrise and use curing methods suited to 108-degree days. Concrete driveway installation in Ontario runs $4,500 to $12,000. Stamped concrete runs higher, but gives you texture that plain pours don’t, and it holds up to the sun if sealed properly.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt makes sense for long rural-style driveways and for homeowners watching the budget. A new asphalt driveway in Ontario runs $3,500 to $9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive costs less than full replacement, but only if the base hasn’t failed. In Ontario’s clay-heavy areas, a cracked base telegraphs through new asphalt within a year or two, so we always check what’s underneath before quoting.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Ontario runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on demo, base work, and material. We see a lot of failed flatwork in the older neighborhoods near the 10, where original concrete from the 1950s has outlived its base. Repair is sometimes enough, especially for isolated cracks or settling at the garage approach. Our Driveway & Pavers team will tell you honestly which one you need, and we put the reasoning in writing.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Ontario Homes
- Sun and dry heat cracking: Temperatures above 108°F bake moisture out of concrete fast. Without proper curing, you’ll see surface spalling and edge chipping within the first two summers.
- Expansive clay soil movement: Many Ontario lots sit on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That seasonal movement heaves slabs and opens cracks that widen every year.
- Santa Ana wind debris damage: When the winds come through the Cajon Pass, branches and roof tiles land on driveways. Paver repairs are cheaper than full concrete replacement after a bad wind season.
- Differential settlement in newer tracts: Ontario Ranch pads were cut-and-filled aggressively during grading. Some driveways show settlement dips within three to five years of the original pour, and the fix requires base remediation, not just a topcoat.
