Driveway pavers in Apopka FL - a driveway that stays level and locked in
Cracked concrete or pavers sinking at the edges? We dig out, build a proper base and set pavers that stay put.
What it takes to build a paver drivewayand what sets your price in Apopka
Most driveway calls start the same way, with a cracked concrete slab or old pavers that have sunk and spread at the edges. A paver driveway is only as good as what's under it, so most of our work on driveway pavers in Apopka, FL happens before the first paver goes down, in the digging, the base and the edges.
Your price comes down to the size of the driveway, whether an old one has to come out, how deep the base goes and which pavers you choose. The schedule turns on the weather and how much tear-out there is. I put the base depth right on the written estimate so you can line it up against other quotes.
Some driveways run beside a slope that needs holding back, or an old brick wall that's starting to crumble. We handle retaining wall construction and masonry restoration too, so the same crew can take care of the whole front of the house in one plan.
You'll get a straight answer about what your driveway needs, and if something can wait, I'll say so. Call (407) 358-0149.
Driveway paver options we install
We match the driveway to your lot and how you use it, from what goes under the pavers to whether rain runs off the top or soaks down through it.
Sand-set pavers
This is the driveway most people picture, with concrete or brick pavers laid on a leveled sand bed over a packed stone base and held in by edge restraints.
Permeable pavers
Rainwater soaks down through the gaps instead of running off the driveway. They only make sense on ground that drains well, so we look at your lot before recommending them.
Pavers over a slab
For a driveway that carries heavy loads, one option is pouring a concrete slab on the packed base, then setting the pavers in sand or mortar on top.

Paver driveway questions
What does a paver driveway cost near Apopka, FL?
A sand-set concrete paver or brick driveway in the Orlando area usually costs about $13 to $17 per square foot, not counting removal of an old driveway, going by a 2022 Orlando cost guide. Tear-out, a deeper base or a slab underneath push it higher, and the written estimate gives you your own number. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
How thick should the base be under a paver driveway?
National trade guidance says a home driveway base on well-drained soil should be at least 6 inches thick, while one Orlando cost guide prices a 4-inch base. Traffic, soil, drainage and climate set the right depth, so ask every contractor what depth they're quoting before you compare prices.
Will permeable pavers work on my lot in Apopka?
Only if your soil drains well. Permeable pavers let water soak down through the driveway, and guidance says the system should drain completely and sit well above the seasonal high water table, because poorly drained soil can cause real trouble. I'll check your lot, and if permeable pavers won't work there, I'll say so.
How do I keep permeable pavers draining?
On a small permeable driveway, keep grass clippings, mulch and leaf litter off the surface, since that's what fills the gaps between pavers. Where material does build up in the joints, pressure washing can clear it out.
What causes a paver driveway to sink or spread apart?
Usually it's a base that's too thin or wasn't packed hard, or edges that weren't restrained, so the pavers drift under car tires. When we redo one, I find out which it was before we rebuild, because new pavers over the same problem go the same way.
What licenses does a paver contractor need in Apopka?
Apopka requires every contractor to register with the city and submit a current state license or registration, plus an Orange County competency license for the type of work. A certified state license is good anywhere in Florida, while a registered one only covers the cities or counties where the contractor holds a certificate of competency, so ask which kind they hold and check it with the state licensing agency.
