Wellborn Driveway & Pavers: The Boca Raton Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Wellborn-compatible driveway and paver components in Boca Raton, with most replacement jobs running $5,000-$14,000 for driveway replacement and $250-$700 for sealing work, depending on substrate condition and square footage. Most Wellborn paver inventory orders arrive within 2-3 business days, and we carry common edge restraints, polymeric sand, and sealer on every truck. Homeowners usually discover the failure when pavers shift after a rain, weeds push through joints that held fine last season, or the surface starts spalling in the exact pattern where drainage was never quite right.
Which Wellborn Models This Applies To
Wellborn doesn’t manufacture pavers under its own label, but we regularly source Wellborn cabinet and fixture clients who need matching hardscape work - Belgard and Techo-Bloc are the paver brands we pair with Wellborn kitchen and bath installations to maintain material continuity across the property. If you’re holding a Wellborn product warranty or spec sheet, check the project documentation for the associated hardscape contractor; we often inherit these jobs when the original installer is no longer reachable. The critical compatibility gotcha in Boca Raton is the 45-50 psi compressive strength minimum for vehicular load, which not all “paver-grade” stones actually meet - we verify every pallet with the manufacturer’s test report before it leaves the supplier. For edge restraint and bedding, we stock both OEM-grade PVC profiles and the heavier aluminum systems that last longer in salt-air exposure near the Intracoastal.
Signs Your Wellborn Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

- Pavers rock or sink underfoot. This usually means the bedding layer has washed out or wasn’t compacted to 98% standard Proctor density in the first place. In Boca Raton’s sandy soils, inadequate edge restraint lets the field migrate outward, and the center drops.
- Weeds or grass in the joints. Polymeric sand degrades under UV and pressure-washing; once it fails, organic material fills the void and retains moisture against the bedding course. We see this most on north-facing driveways where drying is slow.
- White haze or efflorescence. Calcium hydroxide migrates to the surface when water moves freely through the assembly - it’s a symptom of poor drainage design, not dirty pavers. The fix is regrading, not more sealer.
- Spalling or surface flaking. Cheap concrete pavers imported without freeze-thaw testing can’t handle the thermal cycling of a Boca Raton driveway in July. Real porcelain or tested concrete pavers don’t do this.
- Standing water 24 hours after rain. The slope is wrong or the substrate has settled. In our experience near Spanish River Land, this often traces to a utility trench that was backfilled with loose spoil instead of compacted aggregate.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
| Service | Typical Range in Boca Raton | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000-$18,000 | Excavation, 6″ compacted base, bedding sand, pavers, edge restraint, polymeric sand, initial sealer |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500-$12,000 | Forming, 4″-5″ reinforced pour, control joints, broom finish |
| Driveway Replacement (tear-out and redo) | $5,000-$14,000 | Removal, disposal, substrate evaluation, new base and surface |
| Driveway Sealing | $250-$700 | Pressure wash, stain pre-treatment, two coats acrylic or solvent-based sealer |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500-$11,000 | Same spec as driveway, typically pedestrian-load bedding |
The range depends on three things: square footage, access for our equipment, and what we find when we peel the old surface back. A driveway that needs 8″ of muck removed before we hit competent soil costs more than one where the base is salvageable. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the written price you receive before work starts includes every line item - base course, geotextile if needed, disposal tonnage, sealer - with no open-ended allowances. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; manufacturer defects in the pavers themselves are handled through the supplier’s warranty, which we document in your file.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s no high-tension danger in paver work, but there is a hidden cost trap. A homeowner can safely pull a few shifted pavers, add bedding sand, and reset them - we’ve seen it done well. Where DIY goes wrong is in the base: without a plate compactor, without knowing the exact lift thickness for your soil type, and without checking elevation against the garage threshold, you end up with the same failure in six months, plus the cost of a second teardown. We bring a nuclear density gauge to verify compaction in real time, and we shoot grades with a rotating laser before the first paver drops. If you’re unsure what’s under your surface, call (754) 254-8065 and we’ll look at it - the estimate is free, and you’ll know whether this is a half-day reset or a full rebuild before you spend anything.
FAQs
Quality concrete or porcelain pavers last 25-30 years in South Florida when installed on a proper base with adequate drainage. The sealer needs reapplication every 3-5 years, and polymeric sand joints typically require refresh at year 7-10. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Individual cracked pavers can be swapped if you have matching units or if the supplier still stocks the color run. We keep photos of every job, including pallet labels, to make matching possible years later. If the cracking is widespread, the base is the problem, not the pavers. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Most residential driveway replacements in Boca Raton take 3-5 working days from tear-out to final sealer, weather permitting. Day one is removal and substrate prep; days two through four are base installation, compaction, and paving; day five is joint sand and sealer. Permits, if required, add 3-5 business days before we start. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We carry polymeric sand, edge restraint profiles, sealer, and common repair tools on every truck. Specific paver colors and sizes are ordered per job - we don’t guess at inventory because “close enough” doesn’t match. Measure twice, document everything, then build. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
