Belgard Driveway & Pavers: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
For a Belgard paver driveway or patio in West Palm Beach, we match the exact pavers, edge restraints, and joint sand to your existing installation and install them for $7,000 – $18,000 depending on square footage and site prep. Most replacement jobs in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid are done in one to three days once we have the pavers on site. The usual way owners find us: a paver has cracked under a truck tire, the edge row has started to wander into the lawn, or weeds are pushing up through joints that lost their sand years ago. We stock Belgard-compatible joint sand, edge restraints, and base material on our trucks, and we order the specific paver style, color, and size from Belgard’s current catalog to match what you already have.
We’re an independent contractor in West Palm Beach, not affiliated with Belgard. That matters because we can match Belgard product to your existing driveway without steering you toward one brand’s markup. We also work with KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone on the interior side, but this page is about your driveway and pavers.
Which Belgard Models This Applies To
Belgard’s paver lines split into three families that cover nearly every driveway and patio in West Palm Beach. The most common on driveways is the Holland Stone series: rectangular units, 4×8 inches, in colors like Sierra, Charcoal, and Almond Grove. If your driveway has a tumbled, older look with irregular edges, that’s the Old World or Cambridge Cobble family, usually 6×6 or 6×9 units with a wider joint profile. Modern installations with clean lines and a larger format are typically Urbana or Mega-Arbel, which run heavier and need a deeper base. The gotcha: Belgard changes color lots over time, so a paver bought today in “Sierra” may not match a driveway laid in 2015. We pull a sample from your existing install and compare against Belgard’s current color before ordering a single unit. You identify your paver by flipping one over; the series name is often molded into the underside, and a tape measure across the top face tells you the size family. On the OEM-versus-aftermarket question: for pavers and edge restraints, we recommend Belgard product specifically, because aftermarket color blends and dimensions rarely align well enough on an existing surface. For base rock and joint sand, the polymer sand brands we carry hold up better than big-box generics in South Florida’s wet-dry cycles.

Signs Your Belgard Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Cracked or split pavers near the driveway edges. This is usually a base failure: West Palm Beach’s sandy soil shifts after heavy rain, and the outer rows take the movement first. Replacing the paver alone won’t fix it; we recompact the base under that section.
- Edge rows spreading into the lawn. The plastic or aluminum edge restraint has failed or was never installed deeply enough. We reset the edge, pin it, and re-sweep joint sand so the whole field pulls tight again.
- Weeds and ants pushing up between pavers. Joint sand has washed out over years of Florida downpours. We remove the old sand with a power broom, re-sweep a polymer sand into the joints, and mist it to set. Polymer sand binds the joints and keeps most weeds out for years.
- Low spots holding water after a rain. The base has settled unevenly. In West Palm Beach, this often traces to an old tree root, a utility trench that was backfilled loosely, or years of irrigation overspray on one side. We lift the affected area, add and compact base, and relay the pavers to grade.
- Heavy efflorescence or surface spalling. White chalky film on the paver face means moisture is moving through the unit; spalling means the top layer is flaking. This is usually a drainage or sealer issue, not necessarily a paver failure, and we’ll tell you the difference before quoting any work.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In West Palm Beach, a full paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 – $18,000. That price includes demolition and haul-off of the old surface, base rock, sand, the Belgard pavers themselves, edge restraints, polymer joint sand, and labor. A partial repair, like relaying a settled corner or replacing a cracked section, usually lands between $1,200 and $4,000 depending on how many square feet we lift and how much base has to be rebuilt. What moves the price: paver style and thickness, total square footage, how much of the old base we can save, and whether we’re matching an existing color that requires a special order. You get a written price before any work starts, with labor, materials by brand and quantity, and a firm start and end window. No number changes after the crew arrives. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every paver job: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
DIY or Call Us?
What you can safely check yourself: whether an edge restraint has loosened, whether joint sand has washed out, whether a single paver is cracked and lifting. You can note where water pools after a rain and mark it with chalk before we arrive. What goes wrong with DIY: pulling pavers without knowing how deep the base runs, adding sand without compacting, and buying polymer sand that locks in before the joints are full. Once polymer sand sets, mistakes are expensive to undo. Pavers themselves are heavy; a full pallet is roughly 3,000 pounds, and moving it wrong strains backs and cracks units. If you want to try a small edge repair, we’ll tell you what to buy and which steps matter. If you’d rather we handle it, call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll quote the job in writing.
FAQs

A properly installed Belgard paver driveway in our climate lasts 25 to 40 years, with joint sand re-swept every 5 to 8 years. The pavers themselves rarely fail; the base and the edges do. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll inspect your driveway and tell you what’s actually failing.
Yes, in most cases we can lift and relay just the settled or cracked section, rebuild the base under it, and re-sweep the joints to match. If the color match from Belgard’s current lot is too far off, we’ll tell you before ordering, so you can decide between a partial blend and a full replacement. Call us for a written quote on either option.
A standard two-car driveway in West Palm Beach takes one to three days once materials are on site, plus a few days of lead time for paver delivery if we’re matching an existing style. Partial repairs are usually done in a day. We put the start and end window in writing before the first tool is unpacked.
We stock base rock, edge restraints, and polymer joint sand on our trucks for same-day repairs. For matching Belgard pavers, we order from the current catalog after we pull a sample from your existing install, because color lots shift between years and we won’t guess at a match. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll bring a sample kit to your home.
