Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Richland Hills

A paver driveway in Richland Hills typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, while a poured concrete driveway sits between $4,500 and $12,000. Most jobs take three to five working days once we start, depending on size and whether the old slab has to come out. The real variable here isn’t the paving itself. It’s the ground underneath, which is why a contractor who knows how Blackland Prairie clay behaves in Richland Hills will give you a straighter answer than someone reading off a franchise price sheet. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will talk you through what your driveway actually needs.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

Barrett & Sons has worked driveways and hardscapes across Tarrant County since 1998, and Richland Hills is one of the towns we know best because of what the homes throw at us. These brick-veneer ranches off Baker Boulevard and Rufe Snow Drive were mostly slab-on-grade builds from the 1950s and 1960s. That means old concrete driveways poured without the compaction standards we use now, and sub-base conditions that vary from house to house. Our Driveway & Pavers team has seen enough of it to tell you honestly whether your existing slab can be repaired or whether it needs full replacement.

We’ve earned our standing in Richland Hills one driveway at a time. Homeowners around Glenview Drive and Hightower Park call us because Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to verify before signing a contract. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before any extra work happens. No surprise invoices. No “the allowance ran out.” If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t happen. That’s been our rule since day one, and it’s why neighbors recommend us to neighbors.

Crews running driveways in Richland Hills are our own people, not subcontracted strangers. Tom’s sons run the teams, and the crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. A live person answers the phone twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. When you call about a driveway estimate in 76180, you won’t get a voicemail box.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Richland Hills

Paver Driveways

Paver driveways are one of the sharpest upgrades you can make to a Richland Hills ranch home, and they hold up well here when the base is built correctly. That last part matters more than people realize. The expansive clay under Richland Hills swells and shrinks with every wet-dry cycle. A paver driveway done right sits on a properly compacted base that flexes with the soil instead of cracking like a rigid slab. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, brands you can look up anywhere. A paver driveway in Richland Hills typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage and pattern.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete is still the most common driveway material in Richland Hills, especially on the older homes where the original slab has finally spalled beyond patching. We pour new driveways, walkways, and patio slabs with proper expansion joints and a base engineered for this soil. If your original driveway was poured in 1963, it was likely done without the reinforcement and sub-grade prep we use now. A new concrete driveway in Richland Hills runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a standard two-car install. Stamped concrete that mimics stone or brick adds cost but gives you a paver look without paver maintenance.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt isn’t as common on Richland Hills residential lots as it is on rural Tarrant County properties, but we still install and resurface it where the grade and drainage make it the better choice. Asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000 in Richland Hills for a standard driveway. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive costs less than a full removal and repour, but only if the base beneath is still sound. We’ll tell you straight whether yours is.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Most Richland Hills driveway calls start as repair questions. A crack here, a sunken corner there, maybe a slab that’s pitched toward the foundation after twenty years of clay movement. We’ll give you an honest read on whether repair buys you a decade or whether you’re throwing good money at a slab that’s already failed underneath. Full replacement in Richland Hills runs $5,000 to $14,000, which includes tearing out the old driveway, regrading the base, and hauling off debris.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richland Hills

When you pay for a driveway, you should know exactly what materials went into it. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscape lines because they’re brands with published specs and warranties you can verify yourself. For site-built work like stamped concrete and walkways, we use mixes specified for North Texas’s freeze-thaw and clay conditions. If you’re planning a driveway alongside a larger upgrade, we also handle Home Additions & ADU in Richland Hills and Kitchen Remodeling in Richland Hills, so one crew can manage the whole property instead of three contractors stepping on each other. No mystery brands off the back of a van. Everything we install has a name you can look up.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes

• Clay-heave cracking and settling. The Blackland Prairie soil under Richland Hills expands when it rains and shrinks when it’s dry. Driveways poured without proper base prep crack in predictable patterns, and we see it constantly on 1950s and 1960s original slabs.
• Slabs pitched toward the house. Older driveways in Richland Hills often settled over decades until they slope back toward the foundation, dumping rainwater against the brick veneer. That’s a drainage remediation job, not just a repour.
• Root intrusion from mature post-war trees. Many Richland Hills lots still have the original oak and pecan trees planted when the neighborhood was built. Roots lift and crack driveway sections every year. Our repair approach handles the driveway and protects the tree.
• February 2021 freeze damage. The winter storm that burst pipes across Tarrant County also did a number on driveways. Water that got under slabs and froze created new cracks and accelerated existing ones. We still find partially patched damage from that storm on Richland Hills driveways.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Richland Hills

How long does a driveway replacement take in Richland Hills?

Most driveway replacements in Richland Hills take three to five working days from tear-out to finished pour or paver install. The biggest variable is what we find under the old slab. If the 1960s sub-base is shot and needs recompacting, that adds a day. Call (877) 610-1318 for a schedule based on your specific driveway.

Do you pull permits for driveway work in Richland Hills?

Yes, we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible driveway job in Richland Hills. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s the way I like it. If a contractor tells you permits aren’t needed for a full driveway replacement in Tarrant County, get a second opinion from us before you sign anything.

Why do driveways in Richland Hills crack more than driveways in other DFW cities?

Because Richland Hills sits directly on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, the same soil that causes foundation issues across eastern Tarrant County. The clay swells when North Texas gets heavy rain and shrinks during dry stretches, and that movement cracks rigid concrete that wasn’t poured on a properly engineered base. Paver driveways with flexible bases handle this movement far better than solid slabs, which is one reason we recommend pavers for many Richland Hills homes.

How much does it cost to repair a cracked driveway in Richland Hills?

Driveway repair costs in Richland Hills depend entirely on damage type. Sealing and minor crack filling runs $250 to $700. If the slab is structurally failing, you’re looking at replacement pricing, $5,000 to $14,000, and we’ll tell you straight which one you’re facing. No sales pitch. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at it free.

Does the 90-Day Done Right Promise cover driveway work in Richland Hills?

Yes, and it’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print. If your driveway isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That guarantee applies to every paver, concrete, asphalt, and repair job we do in Richland Hills, same as everywhere else we work.
