Driveway pavers in Laredo TX - a driveway built on a base that keeps it flat
If your concrete driveway is cracked, patched or settling, we lay concrete or brick pavers on a firmly packed base so it sits flat under your cars.
What's involved in putting in a paver driveway?
Driveway pavers in Laredo, TX are concrete or brick pavers set on a compacted base and a thin layer of bedding sand, then packed together so the driveway carries your cars as one surface.
Most people who call us have a cracked or patched concrete driveway, or a gravel one they're tired of raking, and they're holding a few bids that don't line up. The price mostly turns on the driveway's size in square feet, whether an old driveway has to be torn out first, which pavers you pick and how deep the base goes, while the schedule turns on whether the city needs a permit and how much ground work the site needs. The on-site estimate gives you the figure for your own driveway.

How much does a paver driveway cost in Laredo, TX?
A sand-set concrete paver driveway in Laredo usually costs about $12 to $15 per square foot, and that covers the compacted base and sand bed but not tearing out an old driveway. I give you the figure for your own driveway once I've looked at it on site.
How thick should the base be under a paver driveway?
Industry guidance says the packed base under a home driveway on well-drained ground should be at least 6 inches thick. One Laredo price guide prices a 4-inch base, so ask each contractor how thick theirs will be before you compare prices.
How long does it take before I can drive on new pavers?
You can drive on a paver driveway as soon as it's finished, because there's nothing to cure. The last step is sweeping sand into the joints and compacting the pavers again, which locks them together.
How do I choose a paver driveway contractor in Laredo?
Line the bids up on the same points, mainly base thickness and paver type, and ask whether the crew holds an installer certification. ICPI, the concrete paver trade group, recommends its Certified Concrete Paver Installers, so it's one more fair question to put to every bidder.
What causes driveway pavers to sink or spread apart?
Usually it's a base that's too thin or not packed hard enough, or edges with nothing holding them in, so tires slowly push the pavers out of line. On streets and other heavy-traffic pavements, a herringbone pattern is used because it resists the sideways creep from turning, braking and accelerating tires.
Can I pull my own driveway permit in Laredo?
Yes, a homeowner in Laredo can pull a permit, but the city then considers you the contractor for the project. If you'd rather not take that on, we'll handle it as your contractor.
Laredo's permit steps for driveway pavers
Laredo's Building Development Services handles residential permits, and the contractor you hire usually pulls the permit. Whether your paver driveway needs one is something we confirm with that office for your job, and when it does, we pull it ourselves as your contractor and keep it posted at the job. The city also lists driveways and sidewalks among the work its registered street cut contractors may do, and it lists a residential sidewalk and driveway authorization among its ordinances, so we check with the city how those apply to your driveway before we start.
We're based here and work across Laredo and the cities around it. Most driveway calls we get are older concrete drives that have cracked or settled, or a family that needs room for another car, and either way the job starts with the ground under it.
