Start here
Tell us the area and what is there now.
Square footage, what is on the ground today, and whether anything needs demolishing — that is enough for a real conversation. Photos help more than anything, so mention it below and we will ask you to send them.
How a job runs
Four stages. No surprises between them.
Walkthrough and estimate
We measure the area, look at how the ground drains today and where the water ends up, and price the actual scope — not a range over the phone. You get it in writing, itemised.
Demolition and base
Old surface out and hauled off, dug to depth, base compacted in lifts and graded to drain away from the house. Interior work gets the same discipline: the subfloor is levelled and checked before anything is set.
Laying
Pattern set out from a line and walked with you before we commit. Cuts made on site, edge restraint on every open side, borders laid first so the field reads straight.
Joints, sealing and cleanup
Polymeric sand swept in, plate compacted, and sealed once the surface has cured. The site leaves swept and the debris goes with us the same day.
Before you call
Questions we get asked first.
Most residential driveways run three to five working days once we break ground — longer if there is concrete to demolish and haul, or if the area is large enough to need staging. Sealing happens after the surface has cured, so that is usually a separate return visit.
Not if the base is right. Settlement almost always traces back to a base that was too shallow, went in wet, or was never compacted in lifts. That is where our cost sits. And if a section ever does move, a paver surface is the one hardscape you can lift, re-level and reset without replacing the whole thing.
Sealing is optional, but it holds the joint sand in place, slows weeds and moss, and brings the colour back. In Florida sun most surfaces want it every two to three years. We use a finish that does not leave the surface slick underfoot.
Often, yes — but colour lots shift over the years and manufacturers discontinue lines, so an exact match is not always possible. If it is not, we will tell you straight and suggest a deliberate border or a contrasting field rather than a near-miss that will bother you every time you pull in.
Driveway and apron work in most Orange County municipalities needs a permit, and most HOAs want the paver, the colour and the pattern approved before anything starts. We tell you which apply to your address and file what is needed.
