You’re tired of watching your driveway crack every summer. Those spider webs of damage aren’t just ugly—they’re expensive, and they’re getting worse every time it rains.
Here’s what changes when we install your new paver driveway. No more water pooling by your garage after Florida’s afternoon storms. No more guests dodging potholes or worrying about their car scraping bottom. No more wondering if this will be the year you finally have to tear out the whole thing.
You get a surface that actually works with Inverness weather instead of fighting it. Materials specifically chosen for our heat and humidity. Installation techniques that account for our sandy soil and ground movement. A driveway that looks better in five years than most look on day one.
Since 1995, we’ve been the family-owned business Citrus County trusts for outdoor solutions that last. We’re not just landscapers—we’re your complete hardscape specialists with over 40 years of combined experience in this exact climate.
We’re Authorized Contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, meaning we work with the best materials available. As the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in our county, we provide sealing solutions other contractors can’t match.
You’ll find us at community events, helping with hurricane cleanup, supporting local youth programs, and giving back to the area that supports us. We’re Chamber of Commerce members who believe in direct communication and doing business the right way—which includes discounts for our military and first responder neighbors.
First, we assess your specific situation. Every Inverness property is different, and Florida’s sandy soil requires careful attention to base preparation and drainage planning.
Next comes excavation and base work. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s where most contractors cut corners and where most problems start. We use proper grading techniques and materials rated for our climate conditions.
Then we install your pavers using techniques developed specifically for Florida weather. Our materials won’t soften in July heat or crack from UV bombardment. The joints are filled and sealed with products designed to handle humidity and prevent weed growth.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through maintenance that keeps your investment looking great for decades. You’re looking at 20+ years of solid performance with basic care.

Your new paver driveway includes everything needed for long-term success in Inverness conditions. We start with proper excavation and base preparation using materials rated for Florida’s soil conditions and drainage requirements.
You get pavers from premium manufacturers—Tremron, Flagstone, or Belgard—selected specifically for your project and climate needs. These aren’t the basic options you’ll find at big box stores. They’re commercial-grade materials designed to handle Florida’s punishment.
The installation includes edge restraints, proper joint sand, and our exclusive Seal ‘n Lock sealing system. This isn’t just about appearance—it’s about preventing the weed growth, shifting, and moisture problems that destroy driveways in our humid climate. We also ensure proper drainage integration so water flows away from your foundation and doesn’t pool on the surface.
A properly installed paver driveway in Inverness should last 20-30 years with routine maintenance. The key is using materials engineered for Florida’s heat and humidity, plus installation techniques that account for our unique soil conditions.
Florida’s UV radiation and temperature swings are brutal on driveways, but modern paver formulations handle these challenges far better than older materials. Regular sealing every 3-5 years protects against oxidation and significantly extends surface life. The biggest factor in longevity is proper installation from day one—cheap installations that skip proper base preparation might save money initially, but they typically fail within 5-10 years.
Pavers outperform concrete in Florida because they’re designed to flex with ground movement, which is crucial in our sandy soil conditions. Unlike concrete slabs that crack when the ground shifts, individual pavers can accommodate movement without structural damage.
Pavers also provide superior drainage, especially important during our heavy rain seasons and tropical storms. Water drains through the joints instead of pooling on the surface, reducing erosion and runoff problems. If a section does get damaged, you can replace individual pavers instead of tearing out entire sections like you would with concrete. Plus, lighter-colored pavers stay cooler than concrete or asphalt in our intense summer heat.
Driveway paving costs in Inverness typically range from $10-$50 per square foot for pavers, depending on materials, size, and site conditions. While this represents a higher upfront investment than asphalt, the long-term value is significantly better in Florida’s climate.
Factors affecting your cost include the current condition of your driveway, drainage requirements, choice of paver materials, and any special design elements. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting for your investment. Remember that quality installation costs more initially but saves money over time—cheap installations often fail within 5-10 years and cost far more to fix than doing it right the first time.
Florida’s climate allows year-round paver installation, but we prefer working during drier periods when ground conditions are stable and curing can proceed properly. Spring and fall often provide ideal conditions with moderate temperatures and lower humidity.
Heavy rain during or immediately after installation can compromise the final result, so we monitor weather forecasts carefully and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right for lasting success. Summer installation is definitely possible—we work efficiently using proper timing and techniques to ensure optimal results even in heat. The critical factor isn’t the season, it’s having dry ground conditions and at least 48 hours without heavy rain after completion.
Most residential driveway replacements within existing boundaries don’t require permits in Inverness, provided you’re not altering drainage patterns or expanding the footprint. New driveways or significant modifications typically need local approval.
We’re familiar with Inverness’s specific requirements and can guide you through the permit process when necessary. Our experience with local regulations means we know what triggers permit requirements and how to handle the paperwork efficiently. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are needed for your specific project and help coordinate the approval process so there are no delays.
Proper drainage is critical in Florida, and paver driveways actually excel at managing our heavy rainfall compared to solid surfaces. We design every installation with drainage integration that directs water away from your foundation and prevents surface pooling.
Pavers allow water to drain through the joints naturally, reducing runoff and erosion problems. For properties with specific drainage challenges, we can install permeable pavers that allow even more water infiltration. We also ensure proper grading during base preparation so water flows to appropriate drainage areas. Our sealing system is designed to prevent joint washout while still allowing proper water management—crucial for preventing the shifting and settling problems that destroy driveways in humid climates.
