Why Upgrade to a Paver Driveway

Your driveway greets every guest and protects your vehicles daily. Interlocking pavers create a flexible, modular surface that stands up to heavy loads, heat, and seasonal storms without cracking like concrete or wearing like asphalt.

We design each driveway to match your home’s architecture, HOA guidelines, and vehicle needs—complete with ribbons, accents, or widened parking areas for golf carts and boats.

Driveway Investment Overview

Over the 10 plus years I have been in this trade, I have installed numerous driveways, here in the Lowcountry as well as in the Greater Seattle market. This one operation of paver driveway installation has the widest range in estimated costs. This is VERY rarely a DIY job; however, due to the lack of licensing requirements there are many participants in the marketplace, which can create significant false competition. There are engineered guidelines for vehicular concrete paver driveways, and these apply to the strength of the pavers, the composition and depth of the base, the millage of the geo-technical fabric, the composition of the base materials used, and whether it is a dry set or permeable installation methodology. I have seen quotes from uninsured, unlicensed companies range from $22.00 to $40.00 per square foot. Most licensed, bonded, insured paver companies offering a workmanship guarantee will be in the range of $50.00 to $100.00 per square foot, subject to underlying subgrade composition, weight of projected vehicular traffic, and dry set or permeable installation.

We provide itemized proposals covering demolition, base work, drainage tie-ins, and finishing touches so you understand every line before we begin.

Driveway FAQs

Can you replace my cracked concrete driveway?

Yes. We remove the failing slab, rebuild the base, and install a paver system that flexes with the soil.

Do you handle drainage around the garage?

We add trench drains, tie into downspouts, and adjust grades so water flows away from structures.

What about HOA approvals?

We prepare submittals with color boards, drawings, and installation specs for neighborhood review.

How long before we can drive on it?

Most driveways are ready for vehicle traffic 48 hours after polymeric sand cures.
