Driveway Installation in Palm Beach County
Precision-Built Driveways Designed for Florida’s Conditions
A driveway plays a vital role in both property access and long-term structural performance. In Palm Beach County, installation quality matters even more because of heavy rainfall, expansive soils, and high daily traffic. Pillar 22 provides licensed driveway installation services built around durability, proper grading, and materials suited for Florida’s environment. Every project follows a structured approach that aligns with county permitting standards, inspection requirements, and long-term usability.
From new driveway construction to replacements and resurfacing, our team manages the full process under a licensed general contracting framework. The result is a stable, code-compliant driveway built for long-term service and consistent performance across seasonal weather conditions.
Types of Driveways We Install
Concrete Driveway Installation
Concrete remains a reliable choice for Palm Beach County due to its load-bearing capacity, structural consistency, and long lifespan. We use a steel-reinforced mix designed for high PSI strength, proper expansion control joints, and a graded base layer to prevent cracking. A finished concrete driveway provides smooth access and handles daily vehicle load without surface deterioration.
Paver Driveway Installation
Paver driveways offer strong flexural performance, which is useful in areas with shifting soils. Interlocking pavers distribute weight evenly and can be replaced individually if needed. Pillar 22 installs decorative driveway pavers, permeable pavers for improved drainage, and brick-style systems for a traditional appearance. Every installation includes compacted base layers to prevent settlement over time.
Asphalt Driveway Installation
Asphalt provides a consistent surface ideal for both residential and commercial properties. In Palm Beach County, asphalt driveways must be installed with proper grading and edging to prevent water intrusion. Our team uses hot-mix asphalt designed for Florida temperatures, achieving a smooth and durable finish.
Brick Driveways
Brick driveways offer a classic aesthetic with strong durability. Brick materials resist fading and perform well in local weather conditions. We install brick driveways with reinforced base layers designed to manage long-term load and traffic without shifting.
Permeable Driveways
Permeable driveway pavers help manage rainfall by allowing water to filter through the surface into a prepared base layer. This option is beneficial in flood-prone areas and neighborhoods with stormwater requirements. Permeable systems reduce runoff while maintaining structural performance.
Stamped Concrete Driveways
Stamped concrete provides the strength of a traditional concrete driveway with the appearance of stone, tile, or brick patterns. It is a durable option for Palm Beach County properties because it handles heavy load, offers slip resistance, and maintains its finish when sealed correctly. Stamped surfaces also perform well in Florida’s climate when installed with proper reinforcement and controlled curing.

Our Driveway Construction Process
Initial Consultation and Site Evaluation
The project begins with an assessment of the property layout, soil type, elevation changes, and drainage patterns. This step determines the most suitable driveway material and identifies any potential permitting needs. We also evaluate access points and vehicle load requirements.
Driveway Design and Material Selection
Pillar 22 recommends materials based on durability, maintenance requirements, and long-term performance. Whether choosing concrete, pavers, asphalt, or permeable systems, the goal is to provide materials that suit Florida weather and the client’s property use.
Permitting and Approval
Driveway installation in Palm Beach County may require permits depending on the scope, material type, and municipal guidelines. As a licensed contractor, Pillar 22 handles all permitting, documentation, and inspection coordination. This ensures compliance with local regulations and avoids delays.
Site Preparation and Grading
Preparing the site is one of the most important stages. Our team removes existing materials, excavates to the required depth, and installs a stabilized base layer. Driveway grading and site preparation ensure proper water runoff and prevent long-term settling.
Structural Base Installation
A driveway’s lifespan depends heavily on the base. We compact multiple layers of aggregate to create a firm and stable foundation. This prevents cracking, sinking, and washouts during heavy rainfall.
Material Installation
Each material is installed using manufacturer-recommended and code-compliant techniques. For concrete, this includes forming, pouring, reinforcing, and finishing. For pavers, this includes edge restraints, leveling sands, and interlocking patterns. For asphalt, this includes hot-mix application and compaction.
Final Compaction and Finishing
After installation, the surface is compacted, leveled, and inspected for consistency. Paver surfaces are sanded and hand-tamped. Concrete driveways are finished with control joints and curing processes.
Final Inspection and Walkthrough
Before completion, our team conducts a final inspection aligned with Palm Beach County standards. We ensure proper drainage, surface integrity, and material compliance. A walkthrough helps clients understand maintenance steps and curing requirements.
