AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Plantation
A paver driveway installation in Plantation typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and a full concrete driveway replacement lands between $4,500 and $12,000. Most jobs take one to two weeks on site, but the tree canopy permit alone can add two to four weeks before we ever break ground. If you’re on a CBS ranch off Peters Road or inside a gated community like Jacaranda, call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk the site, identify the permitting path, and put a written price in your hand before anyone picks up a shovel.
Why Rowan Construction Group Is Plantation’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve worked enough of Plantation’s 1960s-to-1990s ranch homes to know exactly what’s sitting under that cracked concrete: saturated subgrade, no geotextile, and roots from a mature oak or ficus pushing up through the slab. Our Driveway & Pavers crews carry that local knowledge into every quote. When a Plantation homeowner shows us a spalling driveway, we don’t just measure square footage. We check the water table depth, look at the tree line, and pull the HOA’s approved material palette before we price the job. That’s why customers in Fountain Spring, the Acreage, and Plantation Isles tend to call us back for the patio and pool deck phase after the driveway is done.
Rowan Construction Group has been operating since 2007, and under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the written price comes before any work starts, every time. Crews are background-checked and uniformed, a live person answers the phone 24/7, and every visit includes a documented photo record as standard. You’ll get a flat price, a written scope, and a written warranty, not a handshake and a hope. Grant Rowan set that standard, and it’s printed on every page we hand you.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Plantation
Paver Driveways
In Plantation’s older sections, where the high water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade, pavers outperform poured concrete because the permeable joints let water move instead of pooling and undermining the base. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc systems on over-excavated, geotextile-lined subgrades, so the drive doesn’t heave after two wet seasons. A typical paver driveway in Plantation runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, pattern (herringbone costs more than running bond), and whether we need to pull a tree permit for the oak next to the apron.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Most of the original concrete driveways on Plantation’s CBS ranch homes were poured without steel reinforcing or useful expansion joints. That’s why you see alligator cracking within ten years. When we pour new concrete in Plantation, we use Sakrete mixes with proper reinforcing and cut expansion joints on a layout that actually matches the slab’s stress points. Concrete driveway installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. If the existing slab has failed due to subgrade saturation, full removal and base repair is the honest fix, not a thin overlay.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt holds up in Broward County’s heat, but it doesn’t love our high water table either. Edge settling and alligator cracking along the outside wheel tracks are the two failure modes we see most on Plantation asphalt driveways. New asphalt paving runs $3,500 to $9,000. We’ll tell you straight whether sealing ($250 to $700) will buy you a few more years or whether you’re past that point. Under the Haven Standard, we put that recommendation in writing with the photos to back it up.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Replacement on a Plantation property is rarely as simple as tearing out the old slab and pouring a matching footprint. The tree ordinance, the HOA’s color code, and the saturated subgrade all have to be addressed before the first load of base rock shows up. A full driveway replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000 in Plantation. We handle the tree permit, the HOA application, and the geotextile base as standard parts of the quote, because skipping any one of those is how you get a stop-work order and a change order.

We stock and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers for Plantation jobs, and Sakrete concrete products for our pours. If a customer brings us a competitor’s quote specifying a different paver line, we’ll review it line by line at no charge and show you what the honest comparison looks like. Our sourcing across fifty-plus vetted brands means the written quote you get has real numbers attached to real products, not inflated allowances that get “adjusted” later.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Saturated subgrade under old CBS ranch driveways. The water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade across much of Plantation. Without a dewatering plan and geotextile separation, new concrete or pavers will heave and crack within two wet seasons, and you’ll be back where you started.
- Tree roots and the canopy ordinance. A mature live oak or ficus near the driveway drops surface roots that lift slabs. More importantly, any site clearing or root cutting over the city’s caliper threshold requires a permit and often a mitigation plan before work starts. We file that first.
- HOA material and color restrictions in newer sections. Jacaranda, Fountain Spring, and other master-planned communities in Plantation enforce approved driveway palettes. A builder-grade concrete replacement that doesn’t match the approved color gets a red tag from the HOA. We pull the architectural guidelines before we pour.
- Unreinforced builder-grade concrete spalling early. Original slabs from the 1960s through the 1980s often lack steel or proper joints. Patching those is a temporary band-aid, and we’ll tell you that in writing before we offer you a patch at all.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Plantation
Yes, a driveway replacement with pavers in Plantation requires a city permit, and the tree canopy preservation ordinance adds another step if any tree over a specified caliper sits near the work area. That tree permit, and possibly a mitigation plan, can add two to four weeks to the timeline before the paver work itself is even reviewed. We pull both permits in sequence and walk you through each approval, so the job doesn’t stall mid-demolition. Call (470) 298-9650 to get your permit path mapped out, and the estimate is free.
Pouring a new slab on top of a failing 1985 Plantation driveway is usually the wrong fix, because the base underneath is saturated and the new concrete will crack the same way the old did. We over-excavate, lay geotextile, and build a base of crushed concrete to keep the new slab stable when the water table rises each wet season. We’ll show you photos of what we find at 2 feet down before we quote you a number. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free evaluation of your existing slab.
You’ll need to submit your proposed paver material and color to the HOA’s architectural committee and wait for written approval before any work begins. In communities like Jacaranda and Fountain Spring, we pull the approved material palette first, then we match the paver color to what the HOA and the existing home exterior allow. We handle that application as part of the job, and we won’t schedule a pour until the HOA’s sign-off is in hand. Call (470) 298-9650, and we’ll bring the palette and the paperwork.
Replacing the driveway itself generally won’t void the structural warranty on a newer Plantation home, but it can affect coverage for any damage caused by the removal work, so the scope needs to be documented and the demolition careful. We photograph the condition of the home before and after, which gives you a documented record to show the builder if a claim ever comes up. That documentation is included as standard on every Rowan job, not an add-on. Call (470) 298-9650 to get a written quote for a paver driveway on your newer home.
Alligator cracking and edge settling on a Plantation asphalt driveway usually means the base has failed or the subgrade is too wet for the remaining structure to hold, so sealing alone won’t stop the movement. Sealing runs $250 to $700 and buys time on surface cracks, but if the edges are sinking, you’re looking at full replacement at $3,500 to $9,000. We’ll give you a straight answer with photos and a written recommendation, not a hard sell. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free inspection and an honest price.
