Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Plantation
A paver or concrete driveway replacement in Plantation typically runs $4,500 to $18,000 depending on material and square footage, and most jobs wrap up in three to five working days once concrete cures. The real variable here isn’t labor - it’s the base prep. Plantation sits on flat limestone with a water table that rises fast in wet season, so skipping proper compaction and drainage under the slab or paver bed is the single most expensive shortcut a contractor can take. Our Driveway & Pavers crew has handled enough tear-outs in Plantation’s older CBS subdivisions to know exactly where the old base failed and why, and we build every new driveway to outlast the original. Call (844) 638-7249 to schedule your free project estimate and design consult - we answer live, 24/7, so you’ll speak with a person the first time you call.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers Is Plantation’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Plantation’s housing stock was built in deliberate phases - roughly 1958 through 1988 - which means entire neighborhoods are aging into major driveway work at the same time. Our dispatch team coordinates from our Miami office, and we stage crews to serve Plantation directly, so we aren’t fighting cross-county traffic while you wait for an estimate. Derek Hollenbeck built this company on upfront pricing and a 730-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That guarantee covers every paver patio, stamped concrete driveway, and driveway replacement we install in Plantation, and it’s backed by background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up in company vehicles, not unmarked vans.
We also know Broward County’s permitting rhythm cold. Plantation falls under Broward’s building jurisdiction rather than Miami-Dade’s stricter HVHZ rules, so our submittals don’t get bogged down with over-engineered wind-load calcs, and they don’t get kicked back for missing the drainage details county inspectors actually flag here. That’s the edge a veteran Plantation contractor earns over time, and it’s why our permit packages move faster than crews that bounce between Palm Beach and Dade without learning the middle ground.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Plantation
Paver Driveways
A properly built paver driveway in Plantation starts with a laser-leveled crushed-limestone base compacted in lifts to lock out the seasonally high water table. We use brands like Tremron and Belgard, matching the color and pattern to your home’s existing walkways or pool deck. In neighborhoods like Country Club Estates and Jacaranda, where zero-lot-line setbacks leave barely seven feet to the property line, we bring in compact equipment through rear alley access to stage full paver fields without trespassing on a neighbor’s hedge.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installations in Plantation run $4,500 to $12,000 depending on slab depth, reinforcement, and finish. We pour with Quikrete and Sakrete products spec’d for South Florida’s humidity and salt air, and we cut expansion joints at the property line to prevent the spalling that shows up when dense zero-lot-line slabs abut neighbor foundations. Stamped concrete is a popular upgrade here - we can match aggregate finishes that echo the terrazzo floors still found in original Plantation CBS homes.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Plantation costs $3,500 to $9,000 and works best on longer driveways with good natural drainage. The flat limestone shelf under most of the city means water pools fast if the subgrade isn’t graded right, so we always check the existing slope and swale position before quoting an asphalt overlay. Resurfacing an older asphalt driveway can buy another decade of life if the base is still intact, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a patch or a full replacement makes more financial sense.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Plantation - full tear-out and new pour - ranges from $5,000 to $14,000. We see the same failure modes repeat across the city: concrete driveways poured without expansion joints that crack at the foundation line, and paver driveways whose original base wasn’t compacted deep enough to handle the water table cycling. We pull permits through Plantation’s Building Department so the replacement is documented, inspected, and never a headache when you sell.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We install and service driveway and paver systems from Oldcastle, Quikrete, and Sakrete, among other proven brands. These aren’t off-brand substitutions - they’re the materials our crews trust on their own homes, and we stock them in our South Florida supply chain so Plantation jobs don’t stall waiting on a pallet from out of state. If you’ve got an existing paver field from a specific manufacturer and want an addition that matches, we can source it.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Settling and heaving paver driveways. Base prep that ignores Plantation’s high water table lets the underlying limestone saturate, shift, and push pavers into trip-hazard ridges after one or two rainy seasons. We excavate deeper than the original pour and compact in lifts to lock out the moisture cycle.
- Concrete spalling at the property line. Dense zero-lot-line slabs poured without expansion joints crack where they abut the neighbor’s foundation, and a home inspection before a sale will flag it every time. We saw-cut relief joints during the pour so the slab can move without tearing itself apart.
- Stormwater trapping against the stem wall. Flat CBS neighborhoods in Plantation with poorly sloped brick paver driveways send runoff straight into the home’s foundation, accelerating stucco wicking and efflorescence. Our drainage checks are part of every estimate, not an afterthought.
- Permit delays from incomplete submittals. Broward County inspectors routinely flag drainage and wind-mitigation details that out-of-area crews miss. We sequence the permit package so the pre-pour inspection doesn’t hold up your pour date during hurricane-season backlogs.

Working on a Tight Plantation Lot: Staging, Permits, and Keeping the Neighbors Happy
Plantation was developed as a master-planned community between the late 1950s and the mid-1980s, which left a dense concentration of CBS homes on lots that rarely exceed a quarter-acre. Many of those lots are zero-lot-line - meaning one wall of the home sits directly on the property boundary - which turns a straightforward driveway pour into a puzzle of access, staging, and setback compliance. Our crews handle this every week.
On a recent job off Peters Road in Country Club Estates, we replaced a cracked concrete driveway with a permeable paver system to meet Broward County’s post-Andrew drainage rules while staying inside the seven-foot side setback. We brought a mini excavator in through the rear alley access to avoid blocking the single-wide shared driveway, compacted a crushed-limestone base in lifts with a laser-level to keep the finished grade dead-on, and laid a sand-set Tremron paver field that drained to an existing swale - a detail the city inspector flagged during pre-pour review. Because we’d already accounted for it in the plan, there was no punch-list delay, no re-grade, and the neighbor’s hedge didn’t lose a branch.
That kind of site logistics matters in Plantation. We stage materials on the street only where city code allows, use plywood track paths to protect your lawn, and keep the job site clean at the end of every day. If we need to coordinate with a neighbor for brief alley access, we knock on the door and explain the plan before equipment arrives. Those small moves keep a constrained project from becoming a block-wide nuisance, and they’re built into our quoting process - not left for the crew to figure out on day one.
Permit sequencing is the other half of the equation. Broward County’s inspection backlog swells during hurricane season, so we submit the drainage and base-prep details early, schedule the pre-pour inspection as soon as the permit clears, and lock in a pour date before the calendar fills up. Knowing exactly where Broward’s middle-ground inspection thresholds sit - stricter than Palm Beach on drainage, less wind-obsessed than Miami-Dade - means our submittals don’t ping-pong between plan review and revision while your torn-up driveway sits idle.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Plantation
Yes. In most cases, removing an existing concrete slab and replacing it with a paver system in Plantation triggers a permit because you’re changing the drainage profile of the lot and the structural base under the driveway. Our team pulls the permit as part of the job, handles the inspections, and makes sure the finished installation passes without a correction notice.
We use polymeric sand in the paver joints, which hardens after wetting and resists washout even during Plantation’s heaviest afternoon downpours. We also grade the paver field so water sheets toward the yard or a drainage swale rather than pooling on the pool deck. For homes where the driveway and pool deck are adjacent, we’ll often install a subtle channel drain at the transition to catch any overflow before it reaches the coping.
We can get close with a custom aggregate finish in stamped concrete or by selecting a paver blend that echoes the chip-and-matrix look of vintage terrazzo. An exact one-to-one match is difficult because modern pavers don’t replicate hand-cast terrazzo, but we’ve done several patios in Plantation’s older subdivisions where the goal was to complement - not clash with - the original walkway. We’ll bring sample boards to your estimate so you can see the options against your existing floor.
Not automatically. Replacing a driveway slab that abuts an attached garage typically requires a structural permit, and the inspector may note the condition of the garage slab edge and anchor bolts if they’re exposed. But a driveway replacement alone does not trigger a full wind-mitigation inspection unless we’re also modifying the garage foundation or wall connections. We’ll flag any exposure during the estimate so you know what the inspector is likely to look at.
We typically schedule the pre-pour inspection within seven to ten business days of permit issuance during peak hurricane-season backlog, and we pour the day after the inspector signs off. The key is submitting a complete package the first time - drainage, base depth, reinforcement - so the review doesn’t stall. Our office tracks Broward’s inspection queue daily and adjusts schedules to grab the earliest available slot. Call (844) 638-7249 for a timeline based on your specific scope.
