PGT Driveway & Pavers: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
We stock and install PGT-compatible driveway pavers and paver systems throughout West Palm Beach, with installed paver driveway work typically running $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver style, and base preparation. Most owners discover a problem the same way: a paver sinks after a heavy rain, a corner chips where the car tire catches it, or a section shifts and the joints open up. If you’re seeing any of that, we can match the existing paver pattern, order the right PGT-series material, and have a written price in your hands before any work starts.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT driveway and paver products in Florida are commonly installed as interlocking concrete pavers, with the specific series name stamped or printed on the manufacturer label that usually sits on the underside of a loose paver or on the original pallet paperwork. The compatibility gotcha we see often in West Palm Beach: paver thickness matters more than color. Driveway pavers need to be 60mm (about 2-3/8 inches) or 80mm (about 3-1/8 inches) thick to handle vehicle weight. Patio pavers at 40mm or 50mm look nearly identical on a shelf, but they’ll crack under a car, and no amount of polymeric sand fixes that. When we come out, we match the thickness first, then the surface finish, then the color family. For PGT specifically, we order OEM pavers when the pattern or profile is discontinued or hard to find, and we use quality aftermarket equivalents from the same Florida distribution channels when the OEM line is still current and the aftermarket paver matches the same manufacturing spec and color blend. You don’t need to know the model off the top of your head; a photo of a clean, dry paver next to a ruler is usually enough for us to identify what you have.
Styles & brands we work with







Signs Your PGT Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Sinking or low spots after rain. Water pools in the same place each storm, which usually means the base sand or aggregate underneath has washed out or compacted unevenly. In West Palm Beach’s heavy summer rain, this gets worse fast.
- Widening joints between pavers. When the sand between pavers washes out, the pavers lose lateral support and start to drift. You’ll see the gaps grow first near the driveway edges or along a downspout.
- Chipped or cracked corners near the tire path. This is the thickness issue we mentioned above. If a thinner paver was ever substituted, the corners fail first where the car’s weight lands.
- Loose or rocking pavers underfoot. A paver that shifts when you step on it has lost its bed. The fix is pulling the section, re-screeding the sand base, and re-laying the pavers with fresh joint sand.
- Sun-faded color or surface pitting. Coastal air and strong UV take a toll on pavers faster here than inland. Faded color isn’t structural, but pitting that traps water can lead to spalling over time.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a full paver driveway installation in West Palm Beach, expect $7,000 to $18,000. That range covers removing the old surface, compacting and grading the base, laying the pavers to the PGT-compatible pattern, cutting edges, and sweeping in new joint sand. A partial repair, where we pull and re-set a failed section, usually runs a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on how far the base has been compromised. What drives the higher end: a long or wide driveway, a thicker paver, major base rebuild after root intrusion, or a pattern with multiple border colors. Every quote we write is a fixed written price before work starts, with labor and materials separated by line item, so you know exactly what the paver material costs and what the crew’s time costs. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right after completion, we make it right.
DIY or Call Us?
The honest split is this: you can safely pull a single loose paver, brush out the old sand, and check whether the base underneath still feels firm. That’s useful information for us. What goes wrong with DIY paver repair is the base work. If the sub-base has washed out, simply re-leveling the top sand hides the problem for a few months until the same paver sinks again. Hauling out compacted aggregate, re-grading for proper drainage slope, and compacting in lifts needs a plate compactor and someone who knows how much fall a West Palm Beach driveway needs to shed a summer downpour. Also worth knowing: a driveway full of pavers is heavy work, and Florida heat makes it heavier. If you want us to look at it, call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk the site, check the thickness and base condition, and give you a written price whether it’s a repair or full replacement.
FAQs

A properly installed paver driveway in West Palm Beach typically lasts 20 to 30 years before the pavers themselves need replacement, though the joint sand will need refreshing every 3 to 5 years. The base underneath is what decides the lifespan; a poorly compacted base fails years before the pavers do. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll tell you honestly which one you’re looking at.
Yes, in most cases a failed section can be pulled, the base re-compacted, and the same or matched pavers re-laid without touching the rest of the driveway. The repair makes sense as long as enough matching pavers are available and the surrounding area is still sound. Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate on the section you’re concerned about.
A typical paver driveway replacement in West Palm Beach takes 3 to 7 working days depending on size, base condition, and weather. We schedule around rain days honestly, not by promising a date we can’t keep. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll give you a start and end window in writing.
We stock common PGT-compatible 60mm and 80mm driveway pavers in the finishes most often installed around West Palm Beach, and we order specific colors or patterns per job when the driveway calls for something less common. Most orders arrive from Florida distributors within a week. Call (728) 203-3270 with a photo of your paver and we’ll confirm availability the same day.
