Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Fort Lauderdale
Driveway and paver work in Fort Lauderdale costs $250 to $18,000 depending on scope, from a $250 driveway sealing job to an $18,000 paver driveway installation on a canal-front lot. That range is real, and we put it in writing before anyone picks up a tool. If you live in Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, Las Olas Isles, or anywhere else across Fort Lauderdale, call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll give you a flat written price with a written scope and a written warranty. Grant Rowan founded Rowan Construction Group in 2007 to do exactly that: write the number down first, then build to it.
Why Rowan Construction Group Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve worked on enough Fort Lauderdale driveways to know what the salt air does to them. Not in a general sense. Specifically: joints fail faster here, concrete spalls earlier here, and bases lose bearing capacity on finger islands where the water table sits just a few feet below the slab. Our Driveway & Pavers team specs materials for that reality, not for a generic Florida driveway. That means marine-grade polymeric sand, corrosion-inhibiting admixtures in concrete, and penetrating sealers that actually resist chloride intrusion, not the acrylic topcoat that looks shiny for one season and fails by the next.
Every technician who arrives at a Fort Lauderdale home is background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a documented photo record as a standard deliverable. You see what we found, in writing, with pictures. If something is not done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means Rowan makes it right. It’s printed on every page and backed by a terms page, not an asterisk.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Fort Lauderdale

Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Fort Lauderdale runs $7,000 to $18,000 when we build it to a coastal spec. That means a compacted base with a geotextile separator, marine-grade polymeric sand in the joints, and a sealed surface. Standard dry-laid pavers on a canal-front lot in Las Olas Isles or Rio Vista fail within three to five years because brackish moisture wicks up through the joints and salt crystallizes in the sand. We use a polymeric binder rated for saltwater exposure, and we seal the edges. Belgard and Techo-Bloc make pavers we install regularly; the difference is what goes between and under them.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Fort Lauderdale cost $4,500 to $12,000 for a full pour with a corrosion-inhibiting admixture and a penetrating silane/siloxane sealer. The admixture matters because rebar in slabs near saltwater canals corrodes from chloride intrusion, and once that starts, you get spalling and surface pop-outs that no topcoat sealer stops. We also handle concrete aprons, walkways, and pool decks. The housing stock here is largely concrete block and stucco built from the 1950s through the 1980s, and decades of salt air have left many of those slabs actively spalling. Our crew documents the condition of the substrate before we quote, so the written price reflects what the slab actually needs.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common on the finger islands, but it shows up on inland Fort Lauderdale lots and along the Oakland Park Boulevard corridor. Resurfacing works when the base is sound; if the base has been undermined by tidal groundwater, resurfacing is a waste of money. We tell you which one you have, in writing, based on what we see when we inspect. The quote is a flat price with a written scope.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway repair and replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on whether we are resetting pavers, pouring a new apron, or rebuilding a base that has lost bearing capacity. On low-lying finger islands at two to six feet of elevation, tidal groundwater fluctuations cause pavers to settle unevenly and crack along seawall-adjacent edges. We remove the failed material, rebuild the base properly, and document every step with photos. No work proceeds on a change until a signed change order is in place; that discipline is the reason 4,000-plus Rowan projects have finished within a few percent of the agreed cost.

AfterTrusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We install and work with pavers and materials from Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Sakrete, among more than fifty vetted brands. Sourcing depth matters here because the written quote needs an honest number, and an honest number depends on what the material actually costs. When you bring a competitor’s quote to us, we review it line by line at no charge, under our Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate. We can tell you whether the other guy spec’d marine-grade polymeric sand or the standard bag from the big-box store. The price difference is real, and so is the lifespan difference.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

- Polymeric joint sand breakdown on canal-front lots: Brackish water wicking and salt crystallization erode standard polymeric sand within three to five years. Joints widen, pavers loosen, and the driveway starts to heave. We refill with marine-grade polymeric sand rated for saltwater exposure and seal the surface.
- Chloride-induced rebar corrosion in concrete aprons and walkways: Salt from ocean air and canal water migrates into concrete, corrodes the rebar, and causes spalling. We use a corrosion-inhibiting admixture on new pours and penetrating silane/siloxane sealers on existing slabs, because standard acrylic sealers do not stop chloride intrusion.
- Base failure from tidal groundwater on finger islands: Parcels at two to six feet above sea level sit close to the water table. Hydrostatic pressure and tidal fluctuation reduce base bearing capacity, so pavers settle and crack along seawall-adjacent edges. We install geotextile separators and rebuild the base to hold under those conditions.
- Efflorescence and edge raveling from canal-side salt spray: White mineral deposits on paver surfaces are not cosmetic; they indicate salt moving through the pavers and joints. We wet-saw perimeter pavers to reset them on a compacted base, refill with marine-grade sand, and seal the entire surface. If the driveway abuts a canal setback, we coordinate the Broward County seawall condition sign-off before finalizing the permit.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Fort Lauderdale

Joint sand on canal-front lots needs marine-grade polymer additives because brackish water wicking and salt crystallization break down standard polymeric sand within three to five years, causing joint erosion and paver loosening. Inland driveways do not face the same chloride load. We spec marine-grade polymeric sand on every finger-island project, including Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll write the exact spec into your quote.
If the driveway abuts a canal setback, Broward County will require a seawall condition sign-off before the permit can be finalized. We coordinate that step. On a paver driveway replacement off Isle of Venice Drive, our crew removed a 12-year-old brick driveway with widespread efflorescence and edge raveling from canal-side salt spray; the permit could not close until the seawall condition was documented. We handle that sequencing so you do not get a stop-work surprise.
A coastal-spec concrete driveway in Fort Lauderdale runs $4,500 to $12,000, and the spec includes a corrosion-inhibiting admixture and a penetrating silane/siloxane sealer. A standard inland-spec pour without the admixture and with an acrylic topcoat might cost a few hundred dollars less upfront. That cheap spec fails faster: chloride reaches the rebar, the rebar corrodes, the slab spalls, and you’re replacing it within a decade. The coastal spec is the honest number for this microclimate.
Driveway sealing on a Fort Lauderdale home near salt water should be redone every two to three years with a penetrating silane/siloxane sealer, not an acrylic film. Acrylic film sealers sit on the surface and fail quickly under UV and salt spray. Penetrating sealers bond into the concrete and resist chloride intrusion. A sealing job runs $250 to $700 depending on square footage. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact quote, which is always free.
Sometimes. If the existing slab is structurally sound, we can overlay pavers on top. If the slab has spalled from chloride intrusion or the base has lost bearing capacity, the slab comes out. We tell you which situation you have based on a physical inspection, and the written quote reflects what we actually found. The inspection is free, and the price is written before any work starts.
