You’re tired of dealing with cracked concrete and deteriorating asphalt that can’t handle Ocala’s climate. Every heavy rain season brings new damage, and you’re spending more on repairs than the driveway is worth.
Here’s what changes when you choose quality paver installation. Your new driveway handles Florida’s 49 inches of annual rainfall without cracking or shifting. Individual pavers flex with ground movement, eliminating the stress fractures that destroy traditional concrete. You get a surface that bears 8,000 pounds compared to concrete’s 3,000-pound limit.
The result? A driveway that enhances your curb appeal while requiring minimal maintenance for decades. No more emergency repairs after storm season, no more embarrassing cracks greeting your guests.
We’ve been serving Citrus County since 1995 as your family-owned, one-stop solution for comprehensive outdoor improvements. We’re not just another paving contractor—we’re your neighbors, invested in this community’s future.
Our credibility comes from being authorized contractors for top paver manufacturers Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in our county, which means access to the best materials and techniques available.
We believe in giving back to the community that supports us. You’ll find us helping with hurricane cleanup, participating in Toys for Tots, and supporting local youth programs. We’re proud members of the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce because local businesses should support each other.
Every project starts with a thorough site assessment of your property’s unique conditions. We evaluate soil composition, drainage patterns, and existing structures to design a solution that works specifically for your Ocala location.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation—the foundation of any long-lasting driveway. We remove existing materials when necessary and install the appropriate base material, whether that’s road base II for driveways or washed and screened sand for walkways. This step determines whether your driveway lasts five years or fifty.
Finally, we install your chosen pavers using proven techniques that account for Florida’s ground movement and weather patterns. Every joint is properly filled and sealed, every edge secured with appropriate restraints. The result is a driveway that looks beautiful and performs flawlessly through decades of Florida weather.

Your driveway paving project includes complete site preparation, premium paver materials from authorized manufacturers, and professional installation that meets industry standards. We handle excavation, proper base preparation, drainage considerations, and final sealing to protect your investment.
In Ocala’s humid subtropical climate, proper installation makes the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that fails. Our region sees temperature fluctuations of over 20 degrees throughout the year, plus heavy summer rainfall that tests every driveway’s foundation. We account for these local conditions in every installation.
You also receive our commitment to doing the job right the first time. That means clear communication throughout the process, cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it, and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who’ve been serving this community for three decades.
Properly installed paver driveways in Ocala typically last 25-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key is using materials designed for Florida’s humid subtropical climate and ensuring proper base preparation.
Individual pavers handle our region’s ground movement and temperature fluctuations much better than poured concrete, which commonly cracks under these conditions. While concrete driveways might need replacement in 10-15 years, quality pavers flex with natural soil movement and resist the stress fractures that destroy solid surfaces.
The longevity also depends on proper installation techniques. We use appropriate base materials, ensure proper drainage to handle Ocala’s 49 inches of annual rainfall, and apply professional sealing to protect against moisture penetration and UV damage.
The main difference is how they handle stress and damage. Concrete driveways are poured as single slabs that crack when the ground shifts or heavy loads create pressure points. Once concrete cracks, the entire section often needs replacement.
Paver driveways use individual interlocking stones that can bear up to 8,000 pounds compared to concrete’s 3,000-pound limit. When ground movement occurs, pavers shift slightly without cracking. If damage does occur, you can replace individual pavers instead of tearing out entire sections.
In Ocala’s climate, this flexibility is crucial. Our soil conditions and weather patterns create the exact conditions that cause concrete to fail. Pavers are specifically designed to handle these challenges while maintaining their appearance and structural integrity for decades.
Proper drainage is critical in Ocala since we receive nearly 50 inches of rain annually, with most occurring during summer months. We start every project with a thorough site assessment to understand your property’s natural water flow patterns.
During installation, we grade the driveway surface to direct water away from your home and toward appropriate drainage areas. The base preparation includes materials that allow water to pass through rather than pooling on the surface. Proper joint sand and sealing techniques prevent water from undermining the base while still allowing necessary drainage.
We also consider Ocala’s specific soil conditions, which can retain moisture and create shifting problems if not properly addressed. Our drainage solutions account for both immediate water management and long-term soil stability to prevent future settling or movement issues.
In many cases, yes, we can install pavers over existing concrete if the current surface is structurally sound and properly prepared. This approach can save time and money while providing all the benefits of a paver surface.
The existing concrete must be evaluated for cracks, settling, or other structural issues. If the base is solid, we can use it as foundation support for the new paver installation. However, situations requiring concrete removal include cases where height restrictions are important or when the existing surface has significant damage.
The decision depends on your specific situation and goals. During our site assessment, we’ll evaluate your current driveway’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective approach that ensures long-term performance. Sometimes overlay installation is perfect; other times, complete removal provides better long-term value.
Paver driveways require minimal maintenance compared to other driveway materials, especially when properly installed and sealed. The main maintenance involves periodic cleaning, occasional re-sanding of joints, and resealing every 3-5 years depending on weather exposure.
In Florida’s climate, regular cleaning helps prevent organic growth in the humid conditions. Power washing once or twice a year removes dirt and debris that can stain pavers over time. Joint sand may need refreshing if heavy rains wash it away, though proper sealing minimizes this issue.
Professional resealing protects against UV damage, moisture penetration, and staining from oil or other substances. This service also helps prevent weed growth between pavers and maintains the color vibrancy. With this simple maintenance schedule, your paver driveway will look and perform like new for decades.
Driveway paving costs in Ocala typically range from $7-13 per square foot, depending on the materials chosen, site conditions, and project complexity. Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, base preparation needs, paver selection, and any special design elements.
While pavers cost more initially than basic asphalt, they provide significantly better long-term value. You avoid the repeated repair and replacement costs associated with materials that can’t handle Florida’s climate. Many homeowners find that the durability and low maintenance requirements make pavers the more economical choice over time.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re getting. Every estimate includes proper site preparation, quality materials from authorized manufacturers, professional installation, and initial sealing. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
