Fast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Schertz

If you need a paver driveway, concrete replacement, or a walkway tied into a post-tension slab in Schertz, the price range on this page is $250 to $18,000 depending on scope, and every job starts with a written flat price before any work begins. Most Schertz driveways sit above or adjacent to post-tension slab foundations on Blackland Prairie clay, which means a blind cut into the slab can compromise the entire foundation. Call Rowan Construction Group at (470) 298-9650 and we’ll send a uniformed, background-checked crew to map the site and give you a written scope. No change order proceeds until you sign it.

Why Rowan Construction Group Is Schertz’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

Schertz homeowners call us on two things: the written price delivered before work starts, and the fact that we know what’s under the concrete. Our crews work across Kensington Ranch, The Crossvine, and the older FM 78 corridor homes, and every visit includes a documented photo record of what we found and what we did. That’s standard, not an upgrade. A homeowner in Schertz who hires us for a driveway replacement receives GPR scanning of the post-tension slab, a written scope that names the sealer brand and the joint isolation detail, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in print. If it’s not done right, Rowan makes it right. That’s the entire point of Driveway & Pavers in Schertz written pricing: you know the number before anyone picks up a saw.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Schertz

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

A standard two-car concrete driveway replacement in Schertz runs $5,000 to $14,000. The local variable is the post-tension slab tie-in. Most 2000s tract homes in subdivisions like Kensington Ranch have tendons running through the slab at the garage interface, and cutting into that zone without GPR scanning can sever a tendon and void your structural warranty. We scan first, document the tendon grid, then pour a 4-inch reinforced slab with isolation joints so the new driveway floats independently of the house. That’s the difference between a driveway that lasts 20 years in Schertz clay and one that spalls in five.

Paver Driveways

Paver driveway installation in Schertz ranges from $7,000 to $18,000. We work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they hold up under Schertz’s UV load without the chalky fade you see in cheap concrete pavers. The bigger issue in Schertz is what’s under the pavers. Backfilled utility trenches in Blackland Prairie clay compact differently than undisturbed soil, so a paver driveway laid directly over an easement will settle into a wavy surface after two wet-dry cycles. We over-excavate the trench zone, compact in lifts, and lay a geotextile fabric before the paver base goes down. You won’t see that on a bid from a crew that doesn’t know Schertz soil.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving for a Schertz driveway runs $3,500 to $9,000. Asphalt works fine on Schertz’s clay as long as the base is prepared correctly, and resurfacing an existing asphalt drive is usually a one-day job with a 24-hour cure window before vehicle traffic. We use a Sakrete-compatible hot mix for patch work and recommend sealing every two to three years given the heat and UV exposure. The one thing we tell Schertz homeowners: asphalt doesn’t grip post-tension slabs, so if your driveway ties into the garage at a steep grade, concrete may be the safer long-term play.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Driveway replacement in Schertz is $5,000 to $14,000. Hairline cracks on a four-year-old builder driveway are usually cosmetic, but if the slab has settled at the garage interface and the door won’t close cleanly, you’re looking at differential settlement from the clay below. Repair options depend on what the GPR scan shows: if the tendons are intact and the settlement is less than an inch, we may be able to level with polyurethane foam. If the slab is spalling, the fix is removal and repour. Every diagnosis comes with photos and a written recommendation, not a verbal promise.

Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks in Schertz

Paver patio installation in Schertz ranges from $3,500 to $11,000. Pool decks and walkways that tie into the main slab carry the same post-tension risk as driveways: a paver walkway from your driveway to a back patio may cross a utility easement with a backfilled trench, or it may butt against an area where the slab edge has tendon anchors. We scan before we cut, and we write the scope so the paver base floats independently of the slab rather than rigidly tying in. That detail prevents the classic Schertz failure mode: a paver patio that looks great for one season, then dips into a moon crater after the first drought.

Trusted Brands We Service in Schertz

Rowan Construction Group sources from a vetted list of material brands and we name them in writing so you know exactly what you’re paying for. On Schertz driveway and paver jobs, we commonly spec Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers, and we use Sakrete bag mixes for repair work where the pour is too small for a ready-mix truck. No brand gets listed on a quote unless the supplier can deliver to Schertz within the project window. If you bring in a written estimate from another contractor, our Driveway & Pavers team will review it line by line at no charge. Under the Free Second Opinion policy, you’ll see exactly where the numbers differ and why.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Schertz Homes

• Builder-grade driveways with no isolation joints. On 2000s tract homes in Kensington Ranch and similar subdivisions, builders often poured the driveway slab directly against the garage slab with no expansion material. When Blackland Prairie clay shrinks in drought, the two slabs bind and crack at the interface. We cut a clean isolation joint and seal it with a Sikaflex-compatible product.
• Paver patios settling over utility easements. Backfilled trenches run under many Schertz backyards for water, gas, or telecom lines. The disturbed clay in those trenches compacts differently than the surrounding soil, so paver patios laid over them settle unevenly after a couple of wet-dry cycles. The fix is over-excavation, compaction in lifts, and a geotextile separator.
• Stamped concrete fading to chalky gray. Schertz’s summer UV load is brutal on integral color in stamped concrete. If the original contractor sealed with a low-solids acrylic, the surface fades within five to seven years. A high-solids solvent-based sealer restores the color, but only if the slab is sound underneath.
• Driveway slabs off-level at the garage. Expansive clay swells with rain and shrinks in drought, so a driveway poured without deep base prep can rise or fall by an inch or more at the garage threshold. We check the slab with a level, scan for tendon location, and write the repair scope from the measurements, not from a guess.

Schertz’s Post-Tension Slabs and HOA Rules: What Changes Your Scope

Most Schertz driveways are poured over or adjacent to post-tension slab foundations on expansive Blackland Prairie clay. Any driveway or paver install that ties into the slab, like a new approach, walkway, or pool deck, requires GPR scanning to locate tendons before cutting. In neighboring Cibolo, slab-on-grade without post-tension is far more common. Schertz is uniquely risky for blind cuts. A single severed tendon can compromise the entire slab and void a structural warranty. That’s why our Schertz driveway and paver jobs begin with a scan, not a saw.

HOA rules add another layer. Subdivisions like Kensington Ranch and The Crossvine have architectural review committees that must approve any change to the driveway surface, paver color, or walkway material. If your HOA requires a specific paver brand or color blend, we need that in writing before we order material. We’ll pull the permits and coordinate the inspection, but the HOA approval is the homeowner’s responsibility. We’ll tell you exactly which documents to submit and when. It’s part of the documented record we leave behind on every job.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Schertz

Do I need to locate post-tension cables before tearing out my Schertz driveway?

Yes. Any driveway demolition or concrete cut that ties into the foundation slab should be preceded by GPR scanning to map the tendon grid. A missed tendon cut can compromise the entire slab, and the repair is expensive and often structural. We scan first, document the grid in the written scope, and keep every cut outside the tendon zone.

Will a new paver driveway trigger an HOA review in Kensington Ranch or The Crossvine?

Yes, in most cases. Both subdivisions have architectural review committees that require approval for driveway surface changes, including paver installation and concrete resurfacing. We’ll provide the material specs and color names in writing so you can submit the application cleanly. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk you through what the HOA needs.

My builder’s driveway has hairline cracks and is only 4 years old. Is that normal for Schertz?

Hairline cracks within the first few years are common on Schertz slabs because the underlying Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts through wet and dry cycles. If the cracks are less than an eighth of an inch and the slab isn’t off-level, they’re usually cosmetic. If the slab has settled at the garage interface or the cracks are widening, call us for a written diagnosis. We’ll tell you what’s normal and what isn’t, with photos.

Can I add a paver walkway from my driveway to my back patio without voiding my builder warranty?

In most cases, yes. The walkway itself doesn’t void a structural warranty, but any cut into the foundation slab or the driveway edge can. We design the paver walkway to float independently of the slab, which keeps the warranty intact and prevents the walkway from cracking when the clay moves. You’ll see the isolation detail in the written scope before we start.

How much does it cost to replace a standard two-car driveway in Schertz?

A standard two-car concrete driveway replacement in Schertz runs $5,000 to $14,000, depending on the slab condition, tendon scanning requirements, and whether the existing base needs over-excavation. A paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 to $18,000. We’ll give you a flat written price after a site visit, and that price doesn’t change without your signed approval on a change order.
