PGT Driveway & Pavers Nationwide

PGT Driveway & Pavers: The Fort Lauderdale Owner’s Guide

PGT driveway and paver systems installed in Fort Lauderdale typically run $7,000-$18,000 for paver driveway installation and $3,500-$11,000 for paver patio work when replacement is needed. We stock PGT-compatible paver components and can match your existing pattern and colorway from our current inventory. Most Fort Lauderdale homeowners discover their PGT paver system is failing when they notice pooling after rain that didn’t happen in prior years, or when individual pavers rock underfoot where they once sat flush.

Which PGT Models This Applies To

PGT’s paver line has shifted over the past decade, and the part you need depends on when your Fort Lauderdale home was built or when the driveway was last redone. The pre-2018 PGT Classic series used a 60mm paver with a chamfered edge and a specific interlock geometry that differs from the post-2018 PGT Pro series, which moved to an 80mm thickness with a beveled edge designed for heavier vehicle loads. If you’re trying to match existing pavers, check the underside for the PGT stamp and a date code; the Classic series will show a two-digit year, while Pro series pavers add a “P” prefix.

We carry both OEM PGT replacements and Belgard and Techo-Bloc equivalents that match the spec and color profile. The aftermarket decision usually comes down to availability: PGT’s Florida distribution runs through a single regional warehouse with a 2-3 week lead time on specialty colors, while our Belgard and Techo-Bloc equivalents ship from Miami in 3-5 days. For the sand-tan and charcoal-gray palettes common in Fort Lauderdale’s Victoria Park and Coral Ridge neighborhoods, we’ve found the color match is functionally identical. Measure twice, write it down, then say it once: bring us a photo of the stamp, a rough count of pavers needed, and the square footage, and we’ll confirm compatibility before ordering.

Signs Your PGT Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

• Pavers rock or sink when stepped on. This usually means the bedding sand layer has washed out or compacted unevenly, often from poor edge restraint or a failed geotextile fabric beneath. In Fort Lauderdale’s sandy soils, water finds the path of least resistance and carries bedding material with it.
• Pooling water where runoff used to flow clean. The paver pitch has shifted, or the joints have filled with sediment and no longer drain between units. Florida’s intense afternoon thunderstorms will expose this fast.
• Weeds growing thick through joint gaps. The polymeric sand or jointing compound has degraded, which happens faster in Fort Lauderdale’s UV exposure and salt-air environment than inland specs account for.
• Chipped or spalled paver edges, especially near the garage or street. This is impact damage from vehicle weight on a base that has settled or was insufficient for the load to begin with. PGT’s 60mm Classic series is more prone to this than the 80mm Pro.
• Efflorescence - white powder rising to the paver surface. This is mineral migration from the base material or bedding sand, common after heavy rain seasons in Fort Lauderdale. It does not mean the paver has failed, but it signals moisture is moving through the assembly in ways the original design didn’t intend.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For Fort Lauderdale, PGT paver driveway replacement runs $7,000-$18,000 installed; patio work runs $3,500-$11,000. The spread depends on three things: whether we’re matching existing pavers or replacing the full field, the condition of the base layer (if the 4-6 inch compacted aggregate base has failed, we strip and rebuild it), and access for our equipment.

Every quote we write breaks out parts, labor, base preparation, and disposal as separate line items. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that written price is delivered before any work starts. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; material defects fall to the manufacturer’s warranty, which we register for you. No change proceeds without a signed change order, so if we pull up the old field and find the base is saturated, you’ll see the revised number in writing before we continue.

DIY or Call Us?

There’s no high-tension danger in paver work the way there is with garage door springs or electrical panels, but DIY paver replacement goes wrong in ways that cost more to fix than the original job. An owner can safely check: whether the paver is loose (lift it and photograph the bedding layer), whether the edge restraint is intact, and whether water drains or pools. Do not attempt to regrade the base or run a plate compactor without experience; an uneven bedding layer or inadequate compaction is what creates the rocking and pooling you’re trying to solve.
