You’re looking at your cracked, uneven driveway wondering when the next pothole will damage your car. Or maybe you’re tired of that gravel surface that tracks into your house every time it rains.
Here’s what changes when you choose professional driveway paving: No more vehicle damage from rough surfaces. No more embarrassment when guests arrive. No more constant repairs that eat into your budget.
Your new paved driveway becomes the foundation of your home’s curb appeal – smooth, level, and built to handle Florida’s weather for decades. It’s an investment that pays you back in property value, vehicle protection, and peace of mind.
Since 1995, we’ve been the family-owned driveway contractor Citrus Hills residents trust. We’re not just another paving company – we’re your neighbors, investing in the same community where we raise our families.
We’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard – the top paver manufacturers. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in Citrus County. These partnerships mean you get access to premium materials and proven installation methods.
When hurricanes hit, we’re here helping with cleanup. We support Toys for Tots, local youth programs, and we’re proud members of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce. This is our home too.
We start with a site evaluation to understand your specific needs – soil conditions, drainage requirements, and design preferences. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Next comes proper site preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, install a solid base, and ensure proper drainage. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last. We don’t cut corners here.
Then we install your chosen material – whether it’s pavers, asphalt, or concrete – using manufacturer-approved methods. Our crews are trained on the latest techniques and use professional-grade equipment. We clean up completely and walk you through maintenance recommendations so your investment stays protected.

Florida’s climate demands specific approaches to driveway construction. Our sandy soils, intense heat, and heavy rains create unique challenges that generic contractors often miss.
We use materials specifically rated for Florida’s conditions. Our paver installations include proper joint sand and sealing to prevent washout during storms. For asphalt projects, we adjust mix designs for our heat and humidity. Concrete gets proper curing protection from our intense sun.
Citrus Hills’ mature community means we often work around established landscaping and utilities. We coordinate with HOA requirements and respect your neighbors’ properties. Many of our clients are in their 60s and 70s, so we communicate clearly and keep disruption minimal while delivering the quality results you deserve.
Driveway paving costs in Citrus Hills typically range from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on size, material choice, and site conditions. Asphalt driveways generally cost $5-9 per square foot, while paver installations range from $10-25 per square foot.
For a standard two-car driveway (about 600 square feet), you’re looking at $3,000-5,400 for asphalt or $6,000-15,000 for pavers. The wide range reflects material quality, design complexity, and site preparation requirements.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – materials, labor, site prep, and any additional services. No hidden fees, no surprises after we start work.
In Florida’s climate, both pavers and properly installed asphalt perform well, but each has distinct advantages. Pavers excel in our heat because individual units can expand and contract without cracking. They’re also repairable – if one section gets damaged, you replace just those pavers, not the entire surface.
Asphalt works well if properly mixed for our climate and sealed regularly. It’s more affordable upfront and provides a smooth driving surface. However, it requires resealing every 3-5 years and can soften in extreme heat.
Concrete can crack in our sandy soils and intense heat cycles. While durable, repairs often require replacing entire sections. We’ll assess your specific site conditions, budget, and preferences to recommend the best option for your situation.
Most residential driveway paving projects in Citrus Hills take 2-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. A standard two-car asphalt driveway typically takes 2-3 days, while paver installations usually require 3-5 days due to the detailed hand-setting process.
Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two includes final grading and material installation. Paver projects need additional time for cutting, fitting, and joint sand installation. Weather can add delays – we won’t install during rain or extreme heat that compromises material quality.
You can typically drive on new asphalt after 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week. Paver driveways are ready for normal use immediately after completion. We’ll give you specific timing based on your project details.
Permit requirements in Citrus Hills depend on your specific location and the scope of work. Most driveway replacements on existing footprints don’t require permits, but expansions or new driveways often do. Some HOAs in Citrus Hills communities also have approval processes.
We handle all permit research and applications as part of our service. We know the local requirements for each area and maintain relationships with permitting offices to expedite approvals when needed.
Permit costs typically range from $50-200 depending on project scope. We include these fees in our estimates upfront, so you know the total investment before we begin. Working without proper permits can result in fines and forced removal of work – we make sure everything is done correctly from the start.
Proper maintenance significantly extends your driveway’s life and protects your investment. For paver driveways, this means occasional cleaning, replenishing joint sand every few years, and sealing every 3-5 years to prevent fading and staining.
Asphalt driveways need sealing every 3-5 years and prompt repair of any small cracks before they spread. Avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly, especially during hot weather when asphalt is softer.
For all driveway types, keep drainage clear and address any settling or low spots quickly. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every project and offer ongoing maintenance services. Many of our clients schedule annual inspections to catch small issues before they become expensive problems. Regular maintenance costs far less than premature replacement.
We’ve been serving Citrus Hills families since 1995 – that’s 29 years of proven local experience. We’re authorized contractors for premium manufacturers like Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, which means access to better materials and proven installation methods.
