What is under the pavers decides how long they stay flat
Sunken spots near the garage and rutted tire paths are almost always a base problem, not a paver problem. Florida sand moves when it is wet, so we build the layers you will never see the same way on every job.
- SubgradeDug out, roots pulled, compacted with a plate compactor until it stops moving.
- 6 in crushed concrete baseLaid in two lifts, each one wetted and compacted.
- 1 in bedding sandScreeded flat, never used to fix low spots.
- Edge restraintA poured concrete curb, not plastic spikes, so the field cannot spread.

Pick a size and a surface. The range uses the same per-foot prices we quote from. Odd shapes, long runs and tree roots can move the number, so we always confirm on site.

What neighbors say
4.9 average from 186 Google reviews.
Our old driveway had sunk a good two inches by the garage. Tomás dug it out, showed us the soft spot, and rebuilt the base before a single paver went down. Two rainy seasons later it is still dead flat.
The quote was one page, and the final bill matched it to the dollar. They even swept the street.
We asked for travertine and he talked us into a cheaper base fix on the side apron instead of a full redo. Honest guy.
A small crew, and the owner on every job
I started laying pavers for a big outfit in Stuart in 2006. I saw a lot of driveways go in fast on thin base and come back two summers later with ruts. In 2012 I bought a used plate compactor and a trailer and started doing it the slow way.
Today we are four people: me, my brother Javier, Kenny and Luis. We take about two driveways a week, so I can be there for every tear-out and every final walk-through. If something settles inside five years, we come back and fix it.

Questions we hear every week
Anything else, call Tomás. He answers his own phone.
Pavers or concrete: which is better here?
Both work in Florida. Concrete costs less up front. Pavers cost more but do not crack across the drive, and if a spot sinks or a pipe needs fixing, we lift those pavers out and put the same ones back. If you plan to stay ten years or more, pavers usually win.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway?
Yes. Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County both require a right-of-way permit for the apron and a site permit for most replacements. We file it, and the fee (usually $95–$140) is billed at cost.
How long before I can park on it?
Pavers: the same evening we finish. New concrete: walk on it after a day, park a car after 7 days, and keep trucks and RVs off for 28 days.
Can you work around my HOA rules?
Most of our jobs in Tradition, St. Lucie West and Torino need HOA approval. We give you a drawing, the paver name and color sample to send in, and wait for the approval letter before we book the job.
Should I seal my pavers?
Sealing is optional. It locks the joint sand, keeps out weeds and ants and holds the color. Plan on resealing every 3 to 4 years at $1.50–$2.25 per square foot.
What warranty do you give?
Five years on workmanship, including settling. The paver maker covers the pavers themselves for life against defects.
