Your driveway stops being a problem and starts being an asset. No more dodging potholes or explaining away cracked concrete to visitors.
A properly installed driveway handles Florida’s weather extremes without breaking down. It adds real value to your property while giving you a smooth, safe surface that works for decades, not just a few years.
The difference shows immediately. Your home looks more polished, your cars stay cleaner, and you stop worrying about costly repairs every time it rains hard in Hernando.
We’ve been handling driveway paving in Hernando and throughout Citrus County since 1995. We’re the family-owned company that actually answers the phone and shows up when we say we will.
We’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard—the manufacturers that matter. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in our county, which means we have access to the best materials and the expertise to use them right.
You’ll find us helping with hurricane cleanup, supporting local youth programs, and participating in Toys for Tots. We’re not just working in this community—we’re invested in it, and that shows in every driveway we install.
We start with an honest assessment of your current driveway and property conditions. No surprises, no upselling—just a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why.
Site preparation comes next. This is where most contractors cut corners, but we know that proper excavation and base preparation determine whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years. We do the foundational work that you’ll never see but will always benefit from.
Installation follows our proven process, whether you’re choosing asphalt, concrete, or pavers. We handle permits, coordinate with county requirements, and manage every detail so you don’t have to. The result is a driveway that meets Hernando County standards and exceeds your expectations.

Every driveway project includes proper site evaluation, excavation to the right depth, and base preparation that meets local soil conditions. We handle all permits and ensure compliance with Hernando County’s driveway standards, including the required five-foot asphalt apron where your driveway meets the road.
Material options depend on your budget, style preferences, and long-term goals. Asphalt offers durability and cost-effectiveness for most Hernando properties. Concrete provides a clean, long-lasting surface that handles our climate well. Pavers give you the most design flexibility and the easiest repair options if individual pieces ever need replacement.
We also coordinate drainage solutions specific to your property’s needs. Florida’s weather patterns demand proper water management, and we design each driveway to handle heavy rains without creating problems for you or your neighbors. The result is a surface that looks great and functions properly for decades.
Most residential driveway projects in Hernando take 2-4 days from start to finish, depending on size and material choice. Asphalt driveways typically require 48-72 hours of curing time before you can drive on them safely.
Weather plays a role in timing. We won’t pour concrete or lay asphalt during rain or extreme heat, because proper curing is essential for long-term durability. We’d rather delay a day than deliver a driveway that fails in two years.
For paver installations, you can usually use your driveway immediately after completion. The modular nature of pavers means no curing time, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first 24 hours to allow the base to fully settle.
Asphalt performs exceptionally well in Hernando because it expands and contracts with our temperature fluctuations without cracking. It’s also cost-effective and handles our occasional heavy rains when properly installed with good drainage.
Concrete offers longevity and a clean appearance but requires careful installation to prevent cracking from settling or root intrusion. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a low-maintenance surface and don’t mind the higher upfront cost.
Pavers provide the most flexibility and the easiest repairs. Individual pavers can be replaced without disturbing the surrounding surface, which is valuable given Florida’s occasional extreme weather events. They also offer superior drainage when installed with proper spacing and base materials.
Yes, Hernando County requires permits for most driveway installations and modifications. The permit process ensures your driveway meets local standards for width, drainage, and connection to county roads.
We handle all permit applications as part of our service. This includes providing the required site plans, ensuring compliance with setback requirements, and coordinating inspections. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of your project.
If your property is on a septic system, additional health department approval may be required to ensure the new driveway doesn’t interfere with your drain field. We coordinate this process and handle all necessary documentation to keep your project moving smoothly.
Driveway paving costs in Hernando typically range from $3-12 per square foot, depending on material choice and site conditions. Asphalt is usually the most economical option, while decorative pavers represent the premium end of the range.
Site preparation significantly affects total cost. Properties requiring extensive excavation, drainage solutions, or base repair will cost more than simple overlay projects. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Financing options are available for qualified homeowners, and we offer military and first responder discounts. The investment pays off through increased property value, reduced maintenance costs, and decades of reliable performance when the work is done right the first time.
Asphalt driveways benefit from sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against UV damage and water penetration. Regular crack filling prevents small issues from becoming major repairs, especially important given Florida’s temperature swings.
Concrete driveways require minimal maintenance but benefit from annual cleaning and occasional sealing. Watch for settling or cracking around the edges, particularly where tree roots might cause movement. Address small issues promptly to prevent water damage.
Paver driveways need annual cleaning and joint sand replenishment. The modular design makes spot repairs easy—individual pavers can be lifted and releveled if settling occurs. Sealing every few years helps maintain color and prevents staining from organic matter.
We evaluate every driveway to determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Surface cracks, minor settling, and isolated damage can often be repaired cost-effectively, extending your driveway’s life by several years.
However, extensive cracking, significant settling, or base failure typically require full replacement. Attempting to patch major structural problems usually results in recurring issues and higher long-term costs than doing the job right once.
We provide honest assessments based on your driveway’s actual condition and your long-term goals. Sometimes a strategic repair buys you time to budget for eventual replacement. Other times, replacement is the only solution that makes economic sense.
