Pavers, Driveways & Walkways project by 12X Construction

Exterior & Outdoor Living

Pavers, Driveways & Walkways

Compacted base, tight joints, no sinking or shifting.

Pavers fail from the bottom up. Ninety percent of settling, rutting, and weed problems trace back to insufficient base depth or poor compaction. We build the base to the load the surface will carry, including driveways that take vehicle weight daily.

Typical timeline

3 days–2 weeks

Typical investment

Typically $14–$28 per square foot installed

How we approach it

Driveways built for the weight of your life

A driveway is the hardest-working surface on your property. In South Florida, the combination of heavy vehicle loads, intense UV rays, and saturated soil means that a standard pour of concrete often cracks within a few years.

We build paver driveways that are designed to flex without breaking. The secret is in the base. We excavate deeper than the average contractor and use a multi-stage compaction process that ensures your driveway won't develop ruts where your tires sit every night.

Beyond durability, a well-designed walkway or driveway is the single biggest contributor to curb appeal. We use patterns and borders that complement your home's architecture, finished with stabilizers that keep your joints clean and weed-free.

02

Sub-grade preparation

03

Compacted rock base

Installing layers of crushed limerock, compacted to 98 percent density for vehicle load support.

04

Precision paver laying

Setting the field and borders with consistent joint spacing and level transitions to the garage and street.

05

Joint stabilization

Applying polymeric sand and mechanical compaction to 'lock' the pavers into a single structural unit.

Example project

Restoring a failing circular driveway

Davie, FL1 week

The challenge
A cracked concrete driveway was not only unsightly but was actively diverting water into the homeowner's garage.
What we did
We removed the concrete and installed a new paver system with a corrected slope and a deeper compacted base.
The result
The new driveway is now the highlight of the home's exterior, the garage stays dry, and the surface can handle the owner's heavy boat trailer without shifting.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Standards we hold

  • We excavate a minimum of 8 inches for driveways to ensure base depth
  • Edge restraints are set in a concrete haunch to prevent perimeter 'creep'
  • We use high-grade polymeric sand that won't wash away in Florida storms
  • Driveway aprons are reinforced to handle the weight of delivery trucks
  • We provide a 5 year warranty against major settling or rutting

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
“We turn over rental units on tight deadlines. They have never once missed a make-ready date, and their punch lists are cleaner than anyone we've used.”
