AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Wellington
Driveway and paver work in Wellington, FL costs $4,500 to $18,000 for most residential projects, with concrete driveways starting around $4,500 and full paver installations running from $7,000 up to $18,000 depending on the driveway’s size, the paver selected, and whether the lot triggers Palm Beach County well and septic setback reviews. We’re Tom Barrett and his sons, and we’ve been building driveways, patios, and walkways in Wellington long enough to know that a paver project off South Shore Boulevard is not the same job as one in Royal Palm Beach. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll scope it the Wellington way: permits first, water table accounted for, change orders in writing.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We answer our own phone. That matters to Wellington homeowners who have already been through the national-company routine: a call center quote, a different number at the door, and a crew that couldn’t find Wellington on a map. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything.
In Wellington, the crews showing up at your home are Tom’s sons and their teams. They know South Shore Boulevard, Greenbriar Boulevard, and the equestrian enclaves off Pierson Road. They know what happens to a paver base when it’s compacted over an 18-inch water table. They know which Wellington acreage lots will trigger a Palm Beach County health department setback review before the building department even looks at your permit. That’s the kind of local knowledge you can’t phone in.
Every Wellington driveway job we quote includes permits pulled, inspections signed, and a written scope of work before the first paver is set. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t work that way, and we haven’t since 1998.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Wellington
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Wellington typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Wellington’s flat lots and high water table mean the base matters more than the paver on top. We compact in lifts and manage the muck, not just the stone. Our Driveway & Pavers team builds paver driveways that stay flat when the summer rains come and horse trailers roll over them.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Wellington runs $4,500 to $12,000. Stamped concrete driveways sit on the higher end, and they’re popular on the ranch-style CBS homes built throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Before we pour, we confirm the county has signed off on the site plan as drawn. A new concrete driveway poured before updated well and septic setbacks are confirmed gets red-tagged, forcing a tear-out and re-pour at the contractor’s expense. We’d rather get the permit right the first time.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Wellington runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a new driveway, and resurfacing typically less. Asphalt makes sense on longer approaches and equestrian lots where heavy truck and trailer traffic is a weekly reality. The catch is the base. Standard subgrade fabric on former Everglades flatlands lets muck migrate into the aggregate, which leads to ruts under heavy horse-trailer loads within a single season. We spec a heavier fabric and a deeper stone lift for Wellington’s soil conditions.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Wellington runs $5,000 to $14,000. We see paver driveways that heaved and settled within two years because the base was compacted without managing the water table, and we see concrete slabs cracked from the same problem underneath. Repair means fixing the base, not just the surface. If you’re in Wellington and your pavers have lippage, or your concrete has a crack that widens every summer, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement, and we’ll put it in writing either way.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We install pavers we’d put on our own driveway, and that’s why we stick with Belgard and Techo-Bloc for hardscape work. These are premium brands with published specifications, warranty support, and a track record in South Florida’s climate. We also work with GAF on roofing projects that often run alongside driveway work on Wellington lots where the same storm season dictates the schedule. Wellington customers get written line-item quotes that name the brand, the material cost, and the labor, so you know what you’re paying for before we start.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Water-table base failure: Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands where the water table routinely sits 18 to 24 inches below grade. When a base is compacted without managing that water, pavers heave and settle within two years, and excavated fines pump up through the joints after summer rains.
- Septic and well setback conflicts: On equestrian-zoned acreage throughout Wellington, a site plan can pass zoning but fail health department separation requirements. We’ve seen driveways planned within 15 feet of a drain field. The fix is a revised layout and a variance, not a workaround.
- Paddock runoff washing out paver patios: On equestrian lots, stormwater from adjacent paddocks is a real problem. If that runoff isn’t re-routed before we set a patio, the channels wash out the sand base, leaving lippage and tripping hazards before punch list.
- Muck migration under horse-trailer loads: Standard subgrade fabric can’t handle Wellington’s soil. When muck migrates into the aggregate, you get ruts in a single season under heavy horse-trailer traffic. We spec heavier fabric and a deeper stone lift from day one.

What shifts the number? Lot size, the paver you select, whether the driveway needs to carry horse trailers or heavy trucks, and whether Palm Beach County requires a health department setback review before the permit clears. A five-acre lot off South Shore Boulevard with a septic drain field near the existing gravel approach is a different estimate than a standard quarter-acre lot in a Wellington subdivision.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Wellington
Yes. Most driveway and paver work in Wellington requires a Palm Beach County permit, and on equestrian-zoned acreage the process often includes a health department review of septic and well setbacks before the building department signs off. A site plan can pass zoning but fail health separation requirements, which forces a revised layout before any work starts. We handle the permit package and the variance paperwork as part of our scope. Call (877) 610-1318 to get your project scoped the right way from the start.
Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands with a water table routinely 18 to 24 inches below grade, and that water table is the single biggest factor in whether a paver driveway stays flat. Without proper subgrade management, the base heaves and settles within two years, and excavated fines pump up through the paver joints after summer rains. We compact in lifts, manage the muck, and spec a base that works with Wellington’s water table, not against it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free site evaluation.
Yes, it can be done, but the winter equestrian season in Wellington runs January through April, and many estate owners want construction noise and staging equipment invisible during that window. We recommend scheduling concrete pours for the May-to-November off-season, when Wellington quiets down and we can work without conflicting with a client who flew in from Argentina or Belgium for the Winter Equestrian Festival. Call (877) 610-1318, and we’ll work your pour into the off-season calendar.
Yes, absolutely. Driveways on Wellington’s equestrian-zoned acreage regularly carry horse trailers, hay trucks, and heavy equipment, and the base needs to be engineered for that load. Standard residential aggregate depths will rut under trailer traffic within a single season, especially when Wellington’s muck-prone soil is under the base. We design equestrian-lot driveways for the actual vehicle weights you’ll run, and we document it in the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and tell us what you’re parking.
In Wellington, a driveway on lot with a septic system or private well must meet Palm Beach County health department separation distances, and those setbacks can force the driveway envelope to shift. We’ve scoped a paver driveway off South Shore Boulevard where the existing gravel approach ran within 15 feet of a drain field. We revised the layout, coordinated the variance as part of the permit package, and structured the draw schedule around inspection sign-off on the new grade. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that accounts for setbacks before you sign.
