Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Plano
If you need a new paver driveway or patio in Plano, expect to pay roughly $7,000-$18,000 for pavers and $4,500-$12,000 for poured concrete, depending on square footage, site prep, and whether we’re removing an old slab. On Blackland Prairie clay, the prep work matters more than almost anything else, and that’s where our team spends the most care. Barrett & Sons Construction has been building driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks across Plano’s 75074, 75075, 75086, and 75026 ZIP codes long enough to know which blocks heave in August and which ones drain badly after a spring storm, and we bring that same care to Roofing - Plano projects too. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your yard with you, measure what’s there, and put a written price in your hand before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Plano’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett puts his name on the truck and his sons on the crew. That’s not marketing talk. We’re the Driveway & Pavers outfit Plano homeowners call when the last contractor quoted a number over the phone and handed them a different invoice at the door. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every price shift arrives as a written change order before any work happens. Permits get pulled when the City of Plano requires them, and inspections get signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
We also know Plano’s soil. Blackland Prairie clay shrinks in drought summers and swells through wet springs. A driveway poured without proper base prep will crack within three years. A paver patio installed over uncompacted fill will sink at the edges. We’ve torn out enough failed flatwork in older 75074 and 75075 subdivisions to know exactly what the previous guy skipped. That local experience is why Plano customers call us back for the next project, and why they give us the reviews they do.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Plano
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Plano runs $7,000-$18,000, and yes, that’s more than concrete. The reason is flexibility. Pavers move independently, which means they tolerate clay-soil heave without cracking the way a rigid slab will. For homes in Plano’s older subdivisions, where foundation movement is a fact of life, pavers often outlast concrete by a decade or more. We lay Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on compacted base with edge restraints, and we cut every stone on site to fit your driveway’s exact shape.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Poured concrete driveways in Plano typically cost $4,500-$12,000. This is still the most common choice in the city’s 1970s-1990s tract home neighborhoods, and it works well when the base is done right. We pour on compacted, stable subgrade with proper reinforcement and control joints cut at the right intervals. Stamped concrete is an option too, and it runs on the higher end of that range. One caution specific to Plano: if your property has a post-tension slab and we need to cut into existing concrete, we locate the tendons first. More on that below.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Plano runs $3,500-$9,000 for a typical residential driveway. It’s less common than concrete in the city’s suburban neighborhoods, but it’s a smart choice on longer rural-style driveways in the Lucas and Murphy fringes. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive runs lower than a full teardown, and sealing every couple of years helps it hold up against Plano’s summer sun, which bakes unprotected asphalt until it oxidizes and crumbles at the edges.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Plano costs $5,000-$14,000 depending on what we’re tearing out and what’s going back in. If your slab has heaved at the garage approach, cracked through the middle, or sunk near the street, we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes sense. Sometimes a section can be cut and repoured. Other times the base is so far gone that patching is throwing good money after bad. We write the scope either way, and the price doesn’t move unless you sign a change order.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plano
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on most Plano jobs, and when a project calls for it, we’ll specify GAF products on related exterior work or connect you with our Plano Viewlux service team. These are brands you can look up, not mystery pallets off a van. If you’re matching a stone or replacing a section of pool deck, we’ll bring samples to your house in Plano so you can see the color against your brick before we order a single pallet. That beats guessing from a catalog photo. Our suppliers are local to the DFW metro, which means materials for Plano jobs arrive quickly and returns don’t take two weeks.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Plano Homes
- Clay-soil heave cracking slabs. Plano sits on expansive black clay that shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet springs. A driveway poured without a properly compacted, moisture-stable base will crack at the control joints or lift at the garage approach within a few seasons. We see this constantly in 75074 and 75075 homes built in the 1980s.
- Sunken paver edges along driveways and patios. When the base isn’t compacted and the edge restraints aren’t anchored, pavers drift and sink over time. In Plano’s heavier clay zones, the outside edges sink first, leaving a lip that catches tires and toes.
- Drainage failures around pool decks and patios. Plano’s spring storms dump water fast, and a flat pool deck with no fall sends water toward the house instead of away from it. We regrade, re-pitch, and sometimes add channel drains so water runs to the street or the lawn where it belongs.
- Post-tension tendon strikes on older slabs. Plano’s 1980s subdivisions often have post-tension slabs where the tendon layout drawings were never filed or have been lost. Any core drill or saw cut into that slab without locating the tendons first risks severing one. We bring in ground-penetrating radar before any cut, which has saved Plano homeowners from slab failures and City of Plano stop-work orders.

Driveway and paver pricing in Plano is in line with the wider DFW market, though site prep on Plano’s expansive clay sometimes adds cost compared to cities with more stable soil. The same paver driveway that runs $9,000 here might run slightly less in a sandy-soil area, but skimping on base prep in Plano is a false economy. You’ll get a written, itemized quote before work begins, and the price won’t move without a signed change order.
