AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Richland Hills
Driveway and paver work in Richland Hills runs anywhere from $250 for a basic driveway sealing to $18,000 for a full paver driveway installation on one of the brick ranch homes that define this city. Most concrete driveways here land between $4,500 and $12,000, while a paver patio typically falls in the $3,500 to $11,000 range. The catch with Richland Hills is what’s underneath the surface: Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks and heaves every time the rain comes and goes, and that movement shows up in cracked slabs, sinking pavers, and driveways that pitch water toward the foundation. Tom Barrett and his sons have been laying hardscape on this soil long enough to know what holds and what doesn’t. If you’re looking at a driveway that’s starting to look tired, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk it with you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Most of the driveways in Richland Hills were poured between 1950 and 1975, back when the area was part of the post-war buildout of eastern Tarrant County. That matters because those slabs sit on the same expansive clay that’s caused foundation trouble for generations of homeowners here. Our crews know what to look for: hairline cracks that have been there for years but are starting to widen, low spots that hold water after a storm, edges that are starting to crumble where the lawn meets the concrete. We’ve worked on homes tucked along Rufe Snow Drive, on quiet streets near Richland Park, and all through the 76180 zip code. Tom’s name is on the truck, and he lives close enough that if something isn’t right, he’ll hear about it at the hardware store before you even have to call.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise
Every driveway and paver job we take on in Richland Hills carries the same written guarantee: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. Not a call center, not a new crew, Tom. That promise is written on every contract, and it’s been that way since 1998.
Written Scope, Written Change Orders
If you’ve been burned by a contractor who quoted one number on the phone and handed you a different bill at the door, you’ll appreciate this: every scope, every allowance, every material selection goes on paper before the work begins. If something changes mid-job, you get a written change order before a single paver moves. No surprises. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do that to our neighbors in Richland Hills.
Permits Pulled, Inspections Signed
Hardscape work sometimes needs permits in Richland Hills, especially when drainage, grade changes, or driveway width from the street are involved. We pull them when they’re required, and the inspector signs off before we call the job done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Live Person on the Phone, Every Time
When you call (877) 610-1318, a real person answers. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. The same person who answers is the one who knows how to get a crew scheduled in Richland Hills this week.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Richland Hills
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways hold up better than poured concrete on Richland Hills’s shifting clay soil, because the individual pavers flex independently instead of cracking as one rigid slab. That’s a real advantage on the Blackland Prairie, where the ground is always moving a little. A paver driveway in Richland Hills typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pattern complexity, and whether we’re using Belgard or Techo-Bloc product lines. Pavers also match the look of those mid-century brick ranch homes better than most people expect, which keeps the front of the house looking cohesive.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
A new concrete driveway in Richland Hills typically costs $4,500 to $12,000. The big decision we talk through with homeowners is reinforcement: on local clay, a plain 4-inch slab without proper subgrade preparation is a cracked slab waiting to happen. We also handle concrete patios, walkways, and pool decks. Most of the pools in Richland Hills are older, and their decking is often original, which means spalling, heaving, and cracking at the coping.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveways are less common on the brick ranch stock in Richland Hills, but they do show up, especially on longer driveways or homes that have had commercial-style parking added over the years. Asphalt paving here runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing is the right call when the base is still solid but the top layer is oxidized and raveling. On this climate, with 100-degree summers, asphalt wants sealing every couple of years to keep it from turning gray and brittle.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Full driveway replacement in Richland Hills runs $5,000 to $14,000. We usually recommend replacement over repair when the slab is structurally compromised: multiple cracks wider than a quarter-inch, heaving of more than an inch, or drainage that has been funneling water toward the foundation. Repairs can include cutting out and repouring sections, lifting settled slabs with foam or grout, and sealing cracks that are still tight.

Trusted Brands We Service in Richland Hills
We install pavers and hardscape materials from Belgard and Techo-Bloc, along with concrete and asphalt from local batch plants that serve Richland Hills and the rest of Tarrant County. What we don’t do is show up with pallets of mystery product from the back of a van. Materials you can look up, not mystery brands. For homeowners in Richland Hills with mid-century homes, a paver driveway with a warm color tone ties into that original brick exterior better than gray concrete does, and we’ll bring samples to your door so you can see it against your house before you commit.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Clay-soil cracking: The Blackland Prairie clay under Richland Hills shrinks in drought and swells after rain, which pushes concrete slabs around and causes the cracks and low spots we see all over the 76180 zip code. Proper base prep and reinforcement make the difference between a driveway that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 30.
- Water pitch toward the foundation: Many original driveways in Richland Hills were poured slightly toward the house, which was fine before the slab settled, but now it’s directing water into crawl spaces and slab edges. We fix the grade when we replace, and sometimes that’s the primary reason a homeowner calls us in the first place.
- Faded, chalky surfaces from Texas sun: North Texas summers are brutal on asphalt and unsealed concrete. Driveway sealing in Richland Hills runs $250 to $700 and extends the life of the surface considerably, which is cheap insurance on a 1950s driveway that’s already done 70 years of work.
- Root intrusion from mature trees: Richland Hills has some beautiful old pecan and oak trees, and their roots don’t care about property lines or driveway edges. We regularly cut out and repour sections where roots have lifted and cracked the concrete.

What moves the price on your project is square footage, material choice, the condition of the subgrade, and whether we’re doing a complete teardown or a resurface. On homes in Richland Hills where the original driveway was poured before 1975, we sometimes find the subgrade was never properly prepared, which adds material and labor before we can pour. You’ll see that on the written estimate before anything is scheduled, not as a surprise after we start. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and Tom or one of his sons will walk the site with you.

Pricing in Richland Hills runs right in line with Hurst, Watauga, North Richland Hills, and the rest of eastern Tarrant County. The main variable isn’t the city line, it’s the condition of the soil and the existing driveway. Richland Hills has older housing stock than some neighboring areas, which sometimes means more prep work and more careful grade work before we pour. You’ll see that reflected in the written estimate before any work starts.
Every job we complete in Richland Hills carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call to (877) 610-1318 brings Tom back to make it right.
