AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Tequesta
A paver driveway in Tequesta typically costs $7,000-$18,000, and a concrete driveway runs $4,500-$12,000. Those are honest numbers, not phone estimates that change once the truck shows up. If you need a driveway or paver surface built right along the Loxahatchee, the Intracoastal, or the quieter streets in the Tequesta village core, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We know Tequesta because we work Tequesta. Not from a satellite office two counties away. Our crew members are on Tequesta lots every month, and we understand what the soil, the water table, and the county line do to a driveway before we ever put a shovel in the ground. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Tequesta’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tequesta sits in an unusual spot. The Palm Beach/Martin County border cuts straight through the village, so a driveway permit for one house can fall under Martin County’s building department while the house across the street falls under Palm Beach County’s. Most contractors don’t check. We do, before we quote. That’s one reason Tequesta homeowners call us first.
We’re the Driveway & Pavers crew that shows up with the owner’s name on the truck. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look them up before you sign anything. Our background-checked crew members wear uniforms, carry the Barrett & Sons name, and answer to Tom’s sons on-site. We’ve been doing this since 1998, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. One call brings Tom back if something isn’t right.
Reviews from Tequesta customers point to the same thing: we scope the job honestly, we put every allowance and every price change in writing, and we stand behind the finished driveway. When a permit inspector signs off on our work, it’s because the work was done to code, not because someone talked the inspector out of a visit.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Tequesta
We build and repair Driveway & Pavers in Tequesta for ranch homes, riverfront lots, and new tropical modern builds. Here’s what that looks like.
Paver Driveways
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems rated for coastal exposure. Tequesta’s high seasonal water table means we spec a 12-inch compacted limerock base with geotextile fabric, a 6-inch sand setting bed, and 60mm concrete pavers sloped at 2% toward a swale or catch basin. That’s not the inland recipe. It’s the Tequesta recipe. Our permeable paver options also help meet Martin County stormwater requirements on riverfront parcels.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in Tequesta needs more cover over rebar than inland South Florida work. The salt air off Jupiter Inlet accelerates corrosion, and thin rebar cover means spalling concrete within a decade. We spec 3,500-psi concrete with proper rebar placement and then seal it against the salt. If you’re adding a concrete driveway on a lot with a high water table, we handle the engineered base prep so the slab doesn’t crack in three wet seasons.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveways are less common in Tequesta’s higher-end rebuilds, but plenty of the original 1960s and 1970s homes still have them. We mill and resurface, repair heaving from water intrusion, and sealcoat. A full asphalt paving job in Tequesta runs $3,500-$9,000, depending on the square footage and whether the base needs rebuilding.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
A driveway replacement in Tequesta runs $5,000-$14,000. The variables are the ones we check before quoting: which county handles the permit, whether the lot sits in a flood zone, whether the base was built for inland conditions, and whether the existing surface has heaved from the water table. We don’t quote a replacement without looking at those. When you call, we’ll walk the site and give you a written, line-item price.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tequesta
We install Techo-Bloc, Belgard, and Cambridge Pavers on Tequesta driveways and paver patios because those brands hold up in coastal heat and salt air. We can also service existing installations from Oldcastle and Quikrete products. When a paver needs matching, we source from the same local supplier network that stocks colors and textures familiar to Tequesta homes, which keeps turnaround faster than ordering from an out-of-state catalog.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Tequesta Homes
- County-line permit confusion. The Palm Beach/Martin County border splits the village, and a contractor who assumes Palm Beach County codes can stall a job mid-permit. We verify the parcel’s county before quoting.
- High water table heaving. The 1960s ranch homes off Riverside Drive and throughout the village core sit near the Loxahatchee and the Intracoastal. Standard inland paver bases fail within two wet seasons. We build for the water table.
- Salt air corrosion. Jupiter Inlet is right there. Uncoated steel edging and fasteners on paver restraints corrode quickly, letting paver edges spread. We use coated or non-metallic edging designed for marine exposure.
- Older asphalt and concrete failures. Many original Tequesta driveways were poured when codes allowed thinner bases and less drainage. We remove and rebuild with proper base depth and stormwater compliance.

One thing that moves a Tequesta driveway quote more than anything else is the permit path. Because the Palm Beach/Martin County jurisdictional border bisects the village, a driveway permit for the same street can fall under Martin County’s building department with its own floodplain and tree-preservation rules, or Palm Beach County’s with its own inspection pipeline. We verify the parcel’s county before we give you a number. That’s why our quotes don’t change once the job starts. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Tequesta
Yes, most paver driveway installations and replacements in Tequesta require a permit, and the county that handles your street depends on which side of the Palm Beach/Martin County line your parcel sits on. That split runs straight through the village, so the same street can have some homes under Martin County’s building department and others under Palm Beach County’s. We verify the correct county before we quote, and we pull every permit ourselves. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your parcel to confirm which pipeline applies.
The Loxahatchee River’s federal Wild and Scenic status means waterfront Tequesta parcels within the construction and land-clearing buffer can require Army Corps of Engineers coordination and Section 404/10 paperwork before ground breaks. A contractor who doesn’t file that upfront can get the project halted mid-permit. We handle the environmental coordination before we quote, because we work these parcels regularly. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your lot.
Tequesta’s high seasonal water table and proximity to Jupiter Inlet mean the standard inland base recipe fails quickly. Without a 12-inch compacted limerock base, geotextile fabric, and a 6-inch sand setting bed, pavers rut and settle within two wet seasons. On a 1960s ranch off Riverside Drive near the Loxahatchee, our crew replaced a failing asphalt driveway with a permeable paver system built exactly this way, with a 2% slope toward a swale, and passed inspection on the first visit. That’s the local base. We spec it in our written quote, not as a surprise change order.
Yes. Many Tequesta teardown-rebuilds are elevated 2-4 feet above base flood elevation, and the driveway has to tie into that height without a steep grade or drainage problem. We design the transition with a compacted base and proper slope, and we work with the same building permit and county inspection pipeline as the house itself. We’ll match the elevation and keep the drainage moving toward the swale or catch basin. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free site visit.
After we finish a driveway in Tequesta, we walk the whole job with you and write down every item that isn’t right. That punch list goes on paper and into the contract record. If anything isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise brings Tom back with one call. We don’t leave until the punch list is cleared and the permit inspector has signed off where the job requires it. That’s how Tom has run Barrett & Sons since 1998.
