Pavers

Paver driveways in Sarasota and Manatee counties

A paver driveway from Shore Home is built for cars, not just looks. We remove the old surface, build a deeper compacted base than a patio needs, lock the edges and set the pavers in a pattern that handles turning tires. We install paver driveways across Sarasota and Manatee counties, including replacing cracked concrete.

What we build

  • New paver driveways and driveway replacement
  • Removal of old concrete or asphalt
  • Driveway widening and parking pads
  • Matching entry walkways and borders
  • Patterns suited to car traffic, such as herringbone

Why the base matters most on a driveway

A driveway carries the weight of cars every day, so the base under the pavers has to be thicker and better compacted than under a patio. We dig to firm soil, add crushed base rock in layers and compact each one. That is the part you never see and the part that decides how the driveway looks in ten years.

Replacing a cracked concrete driveway

Many homes in the area have original concrete driveways that have cracked or stained. We break out and haul away the old concrete, regrade, build the new base and install pavers. A driveway apron that meets the street may need a county or city right-of-way permit; we check before we start.

Pick a look that fits the house

Driveway pavers come in many colors and sizes. A border in a contrasting color, a matching walkway to the front door, or a wider parking pad are common additions. We bring samples to your estimate.

About our reviews

Paver driveways: common questions

Can you put pavers over my old concrete driveway?

Usually we take the old concrete out. Laying pavers on top of a cracked driveway raises the height at the garage and street, and the cracks below keep moving. On some sound slabs a paver overlay can work; we will tell you which applies after we look at it.

What paver pattern is best for a driveway?

Herringbone patterns hold up best under turning tires because each paver locks against its neighbors in two directions. Running bond and other patterns can work with the right base and edge restraint. We will show you options at the estimate.

Will a paver driveway sink or shift?

Sinking and shifting usually come from a thin or poorly compacted base, or missing edge restraint. That is why we spend most of the job on the base. If a spot settles later, the pavers in that area can be lifted, the base fixed, and the same pavers reset.
