AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Rialto
Driveway and paver work in Rialto runs into two realities most coastal contractors never see: extreme summer heat that bakes concrete in the 105°F range, and slab-on-grade tract homes from the 1950s through 70s sitting on clay-heavy alluvial soils that shift. A paver driveway here typically costs between $7,000 and $18,000, while a concrete driveway runs $4,500 to $12,000. We’ve worked these streets long enough to know what holds up and what doesn’t. If you are pricing a new driveway, a resurface, or a paver patio, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We are Driveway & Pavers contractors who actually live and work in the Inland Empire. Scheduling for Rialto jobs is handled from our Riverside-San Bernardino office, so a live person answers the phone and a Barrett crew shows up with our name on the truck.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Rialto’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and never turned it into a franchise. His sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days. That means the person who shakes your hand about your Rialto driveway is the same person who stands behind the work when it’s done. We do not dispatch strangers from a call center in another state. We answer our own phones around the clock.
Our reputation in Rialto is built the old way. If a driveway dips, a neighbor notices. If a paver patio drains wrong after a winter rain, the homeowner calls, and we come back. That is the reason we put the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every contract. One call brings Tom back to make it right. We also publish Tom’s name, address, and license number, so you can look us up before signing anything. Rialto homeowners have every right to check a contractor’s background, and we encourage it.
We carry premium hardscape brands like Belgard and Techo-Bloc, and we install them with the same care on a Rialto patio as we would on our own homes. No mystery materials off the back of a van. You know the brand, you know the spec, and you see it all in writing before a single paver moves.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Rialto
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways hold up well in Rialto’s heat because the joints let the surface flex instead of crack. The older 92376 homes off Riverside Avenue and the newer pockets near the 210 corridor both benefit from the same thing: a paver system that won’t spall when temperatures swing from 105°F in July to near-freezing on a rare winter night. A paver driveway in Rialto generally runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, base depth, and paver style.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in Rialto has one enemy: the expansive clay under many 1950s and 60s slabs. We regularly see settled or cracked driveways near the older tract neighborhoods where the original pour sat directly on native soil without proper compaction. We pour with rebar, saw-cut control joints on schedule, and compact the base the way Rialto’s soil demands. A fresh concrete driveway typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 here.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt makes sense on longer Rialto driveways where budget matters more than curb appeal. The heat softens cheap asphalt quickly, so we spec a mix rated for the Inland Empire climate, not coastal temperatures. Full asphalt paving in Rialto runs roughly $3,500 to $9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway can save thousands when the base is still sound.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
A cracked Rialto driveway is not just cosmetic. Water gets under the slab, the clay soil swells, and the crack widens by the season. We handle everything from mudjacking a settled section to a full removal and re-pour with code-compliant grading. Replacement in Rialto typically runs $5,000 to $14,000. If you are not sure whether you need repair or replacement, call us for a straight answer and a written quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Rialto
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, and we keep long-standing relationships with local suppliers in the Rialto area, so material lead times stay short. When a homeowner near the 210 wants a paver color matched to an existing wall, we can usually get it within days, not weeks. We also carry GAF products for any adjacent roofing trim work where a driveway project meets the house. You won’t have to wonder what brand is going in; it’s on the written scope before we dig.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Rialto Homes
- Settled slabs from expansive alluvial clay. Rialto sits on soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. The 50-to-70-year-old slab-on-grade homes across 92376 and 92377 show it most in driveways that have tilted toward the street or cracked at the control joints.
- Surface spalling from extreme heat cycles. Summer highs above 105°F followed by cool desert nights put enormous stress on concrete surfaces. Cheap pours spall within a few years; we see it most on original driveways from the 1960s subdivisions.
- Paver settlement from weak base material. A common shortcut is laying pavers over four inches of uncompacted sand. Rialto’s clay soils don’t forgive that. We see paver driveways with sunken wheel paths within two years of a budget install. We over-excavate and compact the base properly, so it stays flat.
- Runoff and drainage trouble on flat lots. Many Rialto lots are nearly flat, which means driveway slope has to be engineered carefully. If water pools against the garage slab or runs toward the foundation, you get cracking and, over time, structural trouble. We grade every pour and paver base to move water away from the house.
Pricing for Driveway & Pavers in Rialto, CA
You deserve numbers before you commit, not a vague “we’ll see.” In Rialto, a paver driveway installation typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. A concrete driveway installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000. Driveway replacement, which includes demolition and base prep, runs $5,000 to $14,000. Sealing an existing driveway is the budget option at $250 to $700, and a paver patio runs $3,500 to $11,000.
What moves the number the most is square footage, soil condition, and access. A driveway off a steep slope near the San Bernardino foothills costs more to grade than a flat lot near Bloomington.
