Why Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers Is Tice’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

Tice homes weren’t built yesterday. Most of the concrete block houses here went up between the 1950s and 1970s, and their original driveways have been dealing with standing water and shifting soil for half a century. We have torn out enough failed slabs in neighborhoods like Tice Heights to know that a driveway in this town lives or dies by what happens underneath it. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive understanding that flat terrain, minimal natural drainage, and a water table that sits stubbornly close to the surface make Tice different from the newer subdivisions ten minutes south. That local knowledge shows up in every base we compact.

Derek Hollenbeck, who leads Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers, built this company around a simple promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. The 730-Day Done Right Promise backs every paver, every yard of concrete, every inch of asphalt we put down in Tice. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail that gets returned next Tuesday. Not a dispatcher in another state. We answer the phone 24/7, and we give you upfront pricing with no surprises, whether you need a full driveway replacement on Ortiz Avenue or fresh pavers for a pool deck near the county line. That is how we have earned a strong local reputation here, project by project.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Tice

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway handles Tice’s drainage challenges better than a monolithic slab ever will. Permeable joint sand lets water pass through instead of pooling on top, and individual pavers can be lifted and re-leveled if the ground settles later. We use brands like Tremron and Techo-Bloc, cutting and laying each unit so the driveway stays flat and tight through wet summers and dry winters. The county permit gets pre-scheduled at application so your job doesn’t stall waiting on an inspector.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Poured concrete still has a place in Tice, especially for homeowners who want a clean, low-maintenance surface without the texture of pavers. The non-negotiable part is the base. Without a properly compacted drainage layer beneath the slab, Tice’s high-water-table soil will lift and crack the concrete within two or three rainy seasons. We saw exactly that pattern over in the Tice Heights neighborhood, where a sunken 1960s driveway had fractured along fault lines created by decades of subsurface water pooling. Our crew regraded the base, built in real drainage, and laid a new paver driveway that has been bone-dry through every storm since. A concrete driveway in Tice generally runs $4,500-$12,000, and the price includes that prep work, not just the pour.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving in Tice comes down to timing and moisture control. Laying hot mix over a damp, poorly tacked substrate creates a delamination problem that shows up inside of a year, especially with our humidity. We mill down to stable material, apply a proper tack coat, and compact before the afternoon heat softens everything. Asphalt resurfacing runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard Tice lot, and we only pull the trigger on a day when the ground is dry enough to hold it.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Not every driveway in Tice needs a full tear-out. We replace sunken aprons, rebuild crumbling edges, and lift settled slabs where the base is still intact. When the damage runs too deep, a full replacement at $5,000-$14,000 gets you a fresh start with modern base-prep standards. Because Tice is unincorporated Lee County, all replacement permits go through the Fort Myers building department. We factor the inspection queue into the schedule from day one so your project moves forward without sitting idle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tice

Our Tice supply chain carries local stock so the materials you pick don’t sit on a truck for a week while a project idles. When you call (844) 638-7249, we can walk you through what each brand offers in color, texture, and permeability, matched to what your specific lot needs.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Tice Homes

• Standing water eroding the slab base from underneath. Tice’s flat terrain and high water table mean water hangs around after a hard rain. When the soil beneath a driveway stays saturated, the base washes out and the surface sinks, cracks, or both.
• Paver driveways spreading because edge restraints were skipped. We see this on older installs all the time. Without a solid edge restraint, water gets in from the sides, erodes the sand bedding, and the pavers start drifting apart within two or three years.
• Concrete cracking where no control joints were cut. Tice’s older slabs often lack proper relief cuts. As the ground shifts with moisture cycles, the concrete has nowhere to relieve stress, so it cracks wherever it pleases. Repair gets expensive fast.
• Asphalt delamination from humidity and poor surface prep. Resurfacing applied over a moisture-warped concrete base without a proper tack coat peels away in sheets. We have torn out resurfacing jobs less than 18 months old because the original installer cut that corner in Tice’s humidity.
