AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Palm Beach Gardens
A new paver driveway in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and a concrete driveway replacement lands between $5,000 and $14,000. The wildcard here isn’t materials or labor, it’s the HOA. If you live in BallenIsles, Mirasol, PGA National, or Frenchman’s Creek, your project clears two separate approvals before our crews can even park a truck on your street. We know both processes cold, because we’ve navigated them for years. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your specific community requires.
This page is for homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens, FL who want straight answers about driveway and paver work. What it costs here. What the HOA will demand. What the high water table does to a slab over twenty years. And how we handle surprises before they become change orders you didn’t see coming.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach Gardens’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That matters in Palm Beach Gardens because gated communities here check who’s at the gate. When BallenIsles security asks for the crew manifest, the name on the truck matches the name on the work order. No mystery subcontractors, no strangers wandering around your golf community. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on every visit.
We service the full Palm Beach Gardens area, from the older concrete block homes in eastern 33410 to the brand-new production builds out west in Avenir. The housing stock here spans sixty years of building codes. An early-1970s driveway in the MacArthur-era neighborhoods and a new paver install in a 2024 Avenir home are completely different jobs, and we quote them differently. That’s not something a national outfit calling from out of state can do.
Every job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. That’s not optional wording on a proposal, it’s how Tom runs the company. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. And when the HOA architectural board wants a specific paver color or a different edge restraint, we handle that paperwork before it becomes a delay.
We also publish our pricing in writing. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s the entire reason homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens call us after a bad experience elsewhere.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Here are the driveway and paver services we handle most often across Palm Beach Gardens. Each one has different HOA, drainage, and code considerations, so we’ll cover those inline.
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the standard in Palm Beach Gardens gated communities. When we replace a cracked concrete slab in BallenIsles or Mirasol, the HOA architectural board almost always wants interlocking pavers with a specific color and pattern. We coordinate that approval before the city permit gets issued, so you’re never stuck with a stack of pavers and a stop-work order. A paver driveway in Palm Beach Gardens runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, base depth, and whether we’re adding catch basins or re-sloping for the flat golf-course parcels.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Palm Beach Gardens range from $4,500 to $12,000. The older eastern 33410 neighborhoods have slabs poured in the 1960s and 70s, and many of them are undersized by today’s code standards. Nearly every one we inspect has settled unevenly toward the house, which is a drainage problem waiting to become a water intrusion problem. We check the original slab thickness before quoting, because pouring new concrete over a failed base is how you get the same cracks again in five years.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common in Palm Beach Gardens than pavers or concrete, but we do see it on some older eastern properties and a few commercial-adjacent lots. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000. In Palm Beach County, the heat and UV exposure break down asphalt binders faster than up north, so we factor resealing cycles into any asphalt quote. If your HOA permits asphalt, we’ll tell you honestly whether it makes sense here or whether concrete or pavers will hold up better over a twenty-year timeline.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Palm Beach Gardens runs $5,000 to $14,000. Repair work is cheaper when it’s caught early, a cracked paver, a failing edge restraint, a low spot that ponds after the afternoon storms. But once a slab has cracked along settlement lines, patching is a short-term fix. We’ll tell you which one you’re looking at, in plain language, before any work gets scheduled.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We carry premium materials you can look up by name. On hardscape work in Palm Beach Gardens we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. On adjacent Roofing - Palm Beach Gardens and waterproofing tie-ins we carry GAF products. That means when a driveway ties into a GAF roof deck or drip edge, the materials are compatible and the warranty chain stays intact. We stock the common finishes locally so Palm Beach Gardens customers aren’t waiting on freight for a matching paver color.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- Water-table settlement on flat golf-course parcels. The western sections near Avenir sit low and flat, and the high water table means slabs settle unevenly over a decade or two. We add compacted base and drainage before any paver goes down, not after the first summer storm.
- Undersized 1960s-era concrete slabs that slope toward the house. In eastern 33410, we regularly find original driveways poured thinner than current code allows, with no rebar and a slope that sends rainwater toward the garage. New concrete work has to be permitted and built to current Florida Building Code.
- HOA architectural requirements that block or delay work. BallenIsles, Mirasol, Frenchman’s Creek, and PGA National all require design-board approval before the city will issue a permit. We handle the submittal, the revisions, and the resubmission so you don’t have to learn HOA process on the fly.
- Wind-load anchoring requirements for hardscape. Palm Beach County’s post-2004 building code requires hardscape anchoring on certain permitted projects. Unpermitted driveways or patios that blew apart in a storm aren’t covered by insurance, and they’ll fail a future inspection when you sell. We anchor every permitted hardscape correctly the first time.

What moves a paver driveway from the low end to the high end is mostly base depth and drainage. A simple paver overlay on a flat, well-draining lot in eastern 33410 costs less than a full excavation with two catch basins on a low-lying Avenir parcel. HOA coordination doesn’t change the price, but it does change the timeline, and we build that timeline into the contract so you know when the job starts and when it finishes.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes. Both PGA National and BallenIsles require architectural review board approval before the City of Palm Beach Gardens will issue a permit for any exterior hardscape work. The HOA approval typically takes two to six weeks, and we submit your design package, paver color, pattern, and drainage plan to the board first. Once the HOA signs off, the city permit follows. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your community’s board asks for.
If the cracks follow settlement lines across the slab and the driveway slopes toward the house, a full replacement is usually the honest answer. Patching a settled slab doesn’t fix the base problem, and on MacArthur-era lots in eastern Palm Beach Gardens, the base is often the problem. We’ll inspect the slab thickness and the drainage before we recommend repair versus replacement. Estimates are free.
Impact-resistance requirements apply to windows, doors, and glazing, not to driveways or paver patios directly. But Palm Beach County’s post-2004 Florida Building Code does include hardscape anchoring requirements for certain permitted hardscape projects, and violations will fail inspection. We build to current code on every permitted job so the inspection is a formality, not a surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
We write the allowance into the contract before we start. If we dig and find old fill, muck, or a water table that demands additional base compaction or a different drainage design, that’s a written change order with a price attached, and you approve it before any extra work happens. No surprise invoices. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s how Tom runs this company.
Yes. We pull the HOA’s approved palette and match the community standard, whether that’s a specific Belgard color, a Techo-Bloc pattern, or a particular border detail. Communities like Mirasol and Frenchman’s Creek publish their approved materials list, and we order from it. If you’re unsure what your neighbors have, we’ll identify it from a photo and match it exactly.
