Our driveway quotes include excavation, base material and compaction, pavers, edge restraints, jointing sand, sealer, and all labor. We provide line-item quotes.

Properly installed paver driveways last 25–50 years. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, unlike poured concrete which requires full-section repairs.

Driveway permits are required in some Florida counties, particularly when connecting to a public road. We handle permit inquiry and advise on requirements for your specific location.

Pool deck installation ranges from $12–$30 per square foot depending on material (travertine, pavers, natural stone) and whether demo of existing concrete is needed. Most projects range $5,000–$20,000.

Pool deck projects typically take 3–7 days for installation, plus additional time if existing concrete needs to be removed first.

Travertine and light-colored concrete pavers are top choices for Florida pool decks — both stay cooler underfoot than dark concrete and are slip-resistant when wet.

Most fire pit builds take 1–3 days for the masonry work. Gas line installation by a licensed contractor adds additional scheduling time.

Gas fire pits offer convenience (on/off with a switch, no smoke, no ash cleanup) but require a gas line. Wood-burning fire pits are less expensive and provide the authentic campfire experience. Both are great options.

Yes — we serve Wakulla, Leon, Franklin, Gadsden, and Jefferson Counties.

Our quotes cover site prep, base material, masonry surround, fire brick lining, capstones, and labor. Gas line work is quoted separately via a licensed subcontractor.

Open wood-burning fire pits usually don't require permits but must comply with local burn ordinances. Gas fire features require permits for the gas line work.

Cover the fire pit when not in use to protect mortar joints from rain. Inspect interior fire brick annually for cracking. Gas components should be inspected by a licensed plumber periodically.
