AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Parkway
Driveway and paver work in Parkway (95823) has to stand up to two very different punishing seasons: Sacramento Valley summers that push past 105°F and winter rain that saturates the expansive clay under older slabs. We know the post-1965 ranch homes and 1970s-80s tract houses here, and we know what happens to flatwork when expansive clay soil cycles between wet and dry. If you’re looking at a cracked driveway, a sinking paver patio, or concrete that’s spalled from years of thermal stress, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. Tom Barrett and his sons serve Parkway directly, and a live person answers the phone around the clock.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Parkway’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Ask anyone on your street about the contractor who quoted one number and showed up with another. We hear that story often enough in Parkway that we built our whole company around not repeating it. Since 1998, Barrett & Sons has written every scope, every allowance, and every price change as a written change order before work happens. That’s how Tom runs things, and his sons run the crews the same way. Parkway homeowners see the same faces on the job from start to finish, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
The area’s 1970s and ’80s tract housing presents a specific set of issues. Many original concrete driveways in Parkway were poured on minimally compacted fill over expansive clay soil. Over 40-plus years, that combination moves. We’ve repaired driveways across the 95823 neighborhoods from Meadowview to the Cosumnes River corridor, and we approach every job with that local soil reality in mind. Local reputation matters because your driveway holds up or it doesn’t, and you’ll see us at the hardware store either way.
Response time to Parkway is straightforward: our scheduling is coordinated from the brand’s Sacramento office, and crews serve Parkway locally. You call, a live person answers 24/7, and we get a written estimate in your hands quickly.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Parkway
Here’s what we handle most often for Parkway homeowners. If your project isn’t listed, call us anyway, and we’ll point you the right direction. You can also learn more about our Driveway & Pavers team’s full scope of work across the region.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Parkway typically runs $7,000-$18,000, depending on square footage, base preparation, and paver selection. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because those are brands you can look up, with real specifications and proven color-fastness under relentless Sacramento sun. Parkway’s clay soil means base preparation matters more than the pavers themselves; we over-excavate and compact properly so your driveway doesn’t heave in winter or settle in summer.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Parkway usually lands between $4,500 and $12,000. The older homes here often have conventional slabs that have cracked from decades of soil movement. We pour with proper reinforcement and control joints, and we address drainage grading at the same time because low-lying flat topography near the southern edge of 95823 invites water intrusion during winter storm events. Stamped concrete is a popular upgrade for Parkway homeowners wanting a distinctive look without the paver price point.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Parkway generally runs $3,500-$9,000 for a new driveway. Asphalt handles the thermal cycle here reasonably well, but it still needs periodic sealing given how aggressively the summer sun degrades the binder. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway is often a smart mid-budget option when the base is intact; we evaluate the subgrade before recommending anything, because a fresh top coat over failing base just delays the problem.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Parkway typically costs $5,000-$14,000. Repair work lands lower, depending on damage. We see a lot of older driveways where tree roots from mature Parkway landscaping have lifted slabs, or where decades of soil movement have created trip hazards. When we replace, we pull permits and call inspections on eligible jobs, and every price change arrives in writing before work begins. That’s how we do Driveway & Pavers in Parkway, and it’s how we’ve done it since 1998.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Parkway Homes
- Slab cracking from expansive clay soil. Parkway sits on Sacramento Valley clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over 40 years, that movement cracks concrete and shifts pavers, especially on original driveways poured in the 1970s and ’80s without modern subgrade preparation.
- Spalled and pitted concrete. Summer heat cycles bake the surface, and rain saturates it in winter. The repeated expansion and contraction causes scaling and surface flaking that only worsens without intervention.
- Drainage issues on flat, low-lying lots. A good portion of 95823 is flat and close to the Cosumnes River corridor. In heavy winter rain, water pools against driveway edges and under pavement, accelerating base failure if grading wasn’t set correctly.
- Tree root lifting in mature neighborhoods. Parkway’s established streets have large trees that were planted decades ago. Roots push up against thin concrete sections and heave pavers, creating trip hazards and unsightly ridges.

Yes, we serve the entire 95823 ZIP code, including neighborhoods along Meadowview, the areas near the Cosumnes River corridor, and every tract home street in between. Parkway’s unincorporated Sacramento County status doesn’t change our coverage. If you’re on a street we haven’t worked yet, we’ll still come out and give you the same written estimate process.
For safety hazards like severe trip-and-fall cracks, sunken slabs, or storm-related washout, we prioritize getting eyes on the problem quickly. Call (877) 610-1318 and describe what you’re seeing. We’ll tell you over the phone whether it’s urgent, and we’ll bring you a written scope and price before any work begins.
Pricing is broadly similar across the region, but Parkway’s expansive clay soil sometimes means more base preparation than in neighboring cities with different geology. The honest answer is that until we see what’s under your existing driveway, we can’t give you an exact number. What we can promise is that your estimate will reflect actual site conditions, and if anything changes once we dig, you’ll see a written change order before we proceed. Call for a free estimate: (877) 610-1318.
Every completed job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. That guarantee is written on the contract, not buried in fine print. Materials from Belgard and Techo-Bloc carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we’ll register and explain to you in plain language. We also hold permits pulled and inspections signed on eligible jobs in Parkway, because the county inspector works for you, not for us.
