AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Pelican Bay
Driveway and paver work in Pelican Bay runs anywhere from $250 for a basic sealing job up to $18,000 for a full paver driveway installation, and most projects take one to three days on site. If you live in Pelican Bay, you already know that nothing gets built here without the Pelican Bay Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee signing off on your materials and design first. That’s where we come in. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked inside the Foundation’s rules long enough to know which pavers pass on the first submittal and which ones will get your project stopped before it starts. Call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your driveway will actually cost, permit path included.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers the phone. That matters in Pelican Bay, where the wrong paver color can mean a denial letter from the Foundation’s ARC and two weeks of dead time. We’re not a franchise sending strangers in branded vans. Tom’s sons run our crews, and the same faces who quote your driveway are the ones who show up to build it. Our Driveway & Pavers team has spent years learning the Foundation’s submittal calendar, its pre-approved material palette, and the exact point where Collier County’s permitting overlaps with the Foundation’s own review. That local knowledge keeps your project moving instead of sitting in review limbo.
We publish our price changes in writing before work proceeds. Every allowance, every material substitution, every scope adjustment arrives as a written change order. No surprises on the final invoice. And every job we complete in Pelican Bay carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. That promise is written on the contract, not whispered in a sales pitch.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Pelican Bay
We handle the full range of driveway and hardscape work in Pelican Bay, from new paver driveways to repairs on older concrete slabs. Here’s what most Pelican Bay homeowners call us about.
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the most common request in Pelican Bay, and for good reason. They drain well on sandy soils, they flex without cracking, and they can be matched to the ARC’s coastal palette. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers lines that are already on the Foundation’s approved material list, so you’re not paying us to fight a denial letter. A typical paver driveway in Pelican Bay runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, base depth, and how much hand-carrying your lot requires.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete is still the right choice for some Pelican Bay lots, especially where the Foundation prefers a monolithic look or where the existing driveway is concrete and the ARC wants a like-for-like replacement. We pour with the proper slope for Pelican Bay’s summer downpours and use expansion joints that hold up against the salt air coming off the Gulf. Concrete driveway installation in Pelican Bay typically falls between $4,500 and $12,000.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common on Pelican Bay’s higher-end properties, but it still shows up on longer approaches and service drives. If your asphalt driveway is cracked or raveled, resurfacing can buy you another eight to ten years for far less than a full replacement. We’ll tell you honestly whether resurfacing makes sense or whether you’re better off replacing. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000 in this market.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Post-Hurricane Ian, we’re seeing a wave of driveway failures in Pelican Bay. The storm sat water on slabs for weeks, eroded base material, and opened cracks that have only widened since. If your driveway is sinking, spalling, or holding water against your foundation, it’s time to look at it before the next storm season. Replacement in Pelican Bay runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on what’s underneath the old slab and what the ARC will approve.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. For Pelican Bay driveways and patios, we regularly install Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, and Oldcastle products. These are brands the Foundation’s ARC reviewers see constantly, which means a smoother approval path for your project. If you’re set on a specific paver line, we’ll pull a sample and check it against the current approved palette before you spend a dollar.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- ARC-denied materials. Homeowners pick a paver color from a showroom in Naples, order a pallet, and then find out the Foundation won’t approve it. In Pelican Bay, you check the palette before you buy. We do that check as part of our quoting process.
- Salt-air corrosion on concrete and metal. The Gulf’s salt-laden air attacks unprotected rebar and metal edging faster than inland Collier County sites. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized where the work is near the coast.
- Narrow side yards and shared driveways. Many Pelican Bay lots can’t fit a dump truck or a skid steer past the side wall. Hand-carrying pavers adds labor, and if your original quote didn’t account for it, the change order stings. Ours does, up front.
- Standing water after summer thunderstorms. Pelican Bay’s sandy, low-bearing soils plus daily afternoon rain means drainage has to be designed into the driveway, not solved after the first puddle.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Pelican Bay, FL
Here’s what we’re charging for the most common driveway projects in Pelican Bay right now. These are real ranges, not placeholder numbers.
| Project | Typical Range in Pelican Bay |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 - $14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 - $700 |
What moves your number inside these ranges? Square footage is the biggest lever. A two-car driveway in Pelican Bay’s inland neighborhoods costs less than a three-car approach in the Woods. Access is the second lever. If we can’t get equipment to the slab, hand-carrying adds labor. The ARC’s material requirements can also push you toward a pricier paver line. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom will give you a written, line-item estimate. It’s free, and it won’t include surprises.
We Also Serve Cities Near Pelican Bay
Our crews work across the wider Naples area, so if you’re in Naples Park, Naples, Golden Gate, or East Naples, we can handle your driveway or paver project too. Most of our Pelican Bay clients come from referrals in those neighborhoods, and we’re glad to drive a few extra miles for the same written pricing and the same Done Right Promise.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Pelican Bay
Yes. The Pelican Bay Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee requires pre-approval of all driveway and paver materials, colors, and patterns before installation, even if the footprint doesn’t change. Replacing a driveway like-for-like in size does not waive the material review. We factor the ARC submittal into our schedule so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a letter. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly which of your material choices are likely to pass on the first try.
No. The Foundation’s pre-approved palette applies across all of Pelican Bay, not just beachfront parcels. Certain high-contrast or non-coastal pavers that are common elsewhere in Collier County get denied here. If you fall in love with a paver at a Naples showroom, check the Foundation’s current approved list before ordering. We keep samples of approved Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers lines on hand for this exact reason.
Yes, and they’re tighter than nearby cities. Pelican Bay enforces its own quiet hours through the Foundation, and contractors who ignore them get cited and banned from future Foundation work. We schedule demolition and compaction within the allowed windows and stage equipment so the loudest work happens mid-morning, not at 7 a.m. If your schedule is tight, we’ll map the work-hour constraints before we commit to a start date.
It can add real money. When a dump truck or skid steer can’t reach the slab because of a narrow side yard or a shared driveway, the crew has to hand-carry material and remove debris by wheelbarrow. That’s slower and more labor-intensive, and it shows up as a line item in the quote. We walk every Pelican Bay site before we price, so you’ll know whether access affects your number before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free on-site look.
It can, especially on beachfront and near-coast parcels. Pavers themselves are usually fine, but the base preparation and grading may need to meet stricter drainage and flood-resistant standards than inland Collier County sites. In some V-zone locations, the Foundation may require a specific permeable base or a particular paver system to satisfy both FEMA and ARC requirements. We’ve built enough driveways in these zones to know what the reviewers will ask for. We’ll flag it early in the quote so it doesn’t become a change order later.
Your Next Step
If you’re planning a driveway or paver project in Pelican Bay, start with the ARC, not with the paver catalog.

Call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 or ask for a free, written estimate. No trip charge inside the county, and veterans and seniors save 10% on every project.
