A paver driveway installation in Temple City runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver grade, and subgrade prep.

Our Driveway & Pavers team works Temple City’s teardown-rebuild market every week.

Call (470) 298-9650 and you will get a written price, not a sales pitch.
Why Rowan Construction Group Is Temple City’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Rowan Construction Group has been putting prices in writing since 2007. Grant Rowan founded the company on a simple rule: no work starts until the customer has a flat written price and a written scope. That rule has held across 4,000-plus projects, and it is Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. We do not ask you to call for a quote. We hand you the number before anyone swings a shovel.
Temple City homeowners research contractors carefully. They read the three-star reviews. They want evidence. So here is what we show: every visit includes a documented photo record, every crew member is background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers our phones around the clock. Under our 365-Day Done Right Promise, if the driveway is not done right, we make it right. That guarantee is printed, not implied.
We also know Temple City’s building department. The mansionization ordinance is real, and it changes how we design driveway and paver layouts on teardown-rebuilds. More on that below.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Temple City
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Temple City gives you the look of a custom estate home, and it has a real engineering advantage: individual pavers flex instead of crack when the ground shifts. On a 1950s slab lot where the subgrade was never compacted for modern loads, that matters. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, and we always document the compacted base before the pavers go down. Temple City paver driveway installations typically run $7,000 to $18,000.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete is the workhorse of Temple City driveways. Inland San Gabriel Valley summers hit 100°F regularly, and that heat changes how concrete cures. We schedule early-morning pours, control the slump, and use curing compounds so the surface does not scale before inspection sign-off. A new concrete driveway in Temple City runs $4,500 to $12,000. Stamped concrete costs more, but it can match a paver look at a lower installed price.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt makes sense on longer driveways and in Temple City’s older ranch neighborhoods where budget matters. A fresh asphalt driveway runs $3,500 to $9,000. Resurfacing an existing asphalt drive is cheaper than replacement and gets you another 8 to 12 years when the base is still sound. We will tell you which one your driveway actually needs, and we will put that in writing.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
A 1950s Temple City driveway with cracked concrete and sunken slabs usually has a subgrade problem underneath, not just a surface problem. We do not patch over failing bases. We remove, recompact, and rebuild. Driveway replacement in Temple City runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on material and square footage. That price is fixed before we start, and any change requires a signed change order.
Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks
Temple City’s larger lots, many 7,000 to 8,000 square feet, give us room to build real outdoor living spaces. Paver patios run $3,500 to $11,000. Walkways, pool decks, and side paths are where we see the most feng shui-driven revisions in this city, because the front door orientation changes after the consultant weighs in, and the walkway has to follow. We plan for that revision now. It saves you money and keeps the schedule honest.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Temple City
We work with more than fifty vetted material brands, which means our written quotes carry honest numbers instead of inflated ones. For Temple City paver work, we regularly source Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, both stocked locally for fast turnaround. For stamped concrete and specialty finishes, we specify products by pour day, not by guess. You will see the brand name on the quote, not just a vague “concrete” line item.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Temple City Homes
- Paver driveway installed before the feng shui consultant repositions the front door. The walkway no longer aligns with the new entry orientation, and the pavers have to be torn out and re-run. We have seen this happen twice on one street near Live Oak Avenue. Now we ask who the consultant is before we order pavers.
- Concrete poured during a 100°F heatwave without slump control. The surface scales before the inspector signs off. We pour early, control the mix, and document the curing process with photos.
- Replacement driveway on a 1950s slab foundation home where the existing subgrade was never compacted. The pavers settle within two seasons because the base was never engineered for load-bearing traffic. We recompact to the correct density and document it.
- Mansionization FAR limits colliding with impervious surface calculations. A new paver driveway and patio can push a teardown-rebuild’s total paved area past the permitted floor-area ratio. That forces a redesign. We work with the architect and the city plan-checker before that becomes a costly surprise.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Temple City
Yes. Temple City’s mansionization ordinance caps floor-area ratios, but those FAR calculations include the site’s total impervious surface. A paver driveway and patio count toward that number. On a teardown-rebuild, a large paver driveway can push the paved area past the permitted FAR, which forces a redesign of the driveway layout or the home’s footprint. We have dealt with this exact snag on Live Oak Avenue. The fix was a permeable paver system for the side path and a smaller stamped concrete approach at the street, which brought the impervious surface back into compliance. Call (470) 298-9650 and we will review your site plan with this calculation in mind.
Because feng shui consultants routinely reposition the front door after architectural plans are drawn, and the paver walkway and driveway entry have to follow the new orientation. That means tearing out freshly installed pavers and re-running them to a new alignment. It is a Temple City-specific problem, driven by the city’s affluent Chinese-American community and the teardown-rebuild cycle. We now build that revision window into our schedules and budgets for paver driveways in Temple City. The price stays fixed, and any change is documented in a signed change order before we move a paver.
We pour early in the morning, control the slump of the mix, and use curing compounds designed for high-heat placement. Temple City’s inland San Gabriel Valley position means summer highs regularly reach 95 to 105°F. Concrete poured at 2:00 p.m. in that heat can scale before inspection sign-off. Our crews start before dawn, document the pour with photos, and the written quote accounts for the extra material and scheduling cost. No surprises, no change orders for weather we could see coming.
Yes, if the subgrade is engineered correctly. Temple City’s dominant housing stock is 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, many on slab foundations that were never compacted for modern load-bearing traffic. A paver driveway needs a properly compacted base, and the pavers themselves flex under seismic movement instead of cracking like a rigid concrete slab. We recompact the subgrade, install a geotextile layer, and document the entire process. The driveway will hold up, and you will have the photo record to prove what is underneath it.
Yes, in most cases. Temple City requires permits for driveway replacement when the project changes the site’s impervious surface calculation or when it is part of a larger teardown-rebuild. We pull the permits ourselves, and we submit the revised impervious surface calculation with the application. That paperwork is part of the flat written price, not an add-on. Call (470) 298-9650 to get your property reviewed and a written price before you commit.
