ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers: The Fort Worth Owner’s Guide
We stock driveway and paver components that match ECO Window Systems window and door installations across Fort Worth, with installed replacement work typically running $7,000 to $18,000 for full paver driveways and $250 to $700 for sealing. Most homeowners find us after noticing paver settling, cracked units, or drainage problems around their ECO Window Systems entryways and garage doors. Water is usually the culprit: Fort Worth’s clay soil expands and contracts through our hot summers and wet springs, and pavers set over improperly compacted substrate will shift within two or three seasons. Curtis Lane has walked enough Fort Worth driveways to tell you what held and what didn’t within the first ten minutes of looking.
We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with ECO Window Systems. What we are is a Fort Worth remodeling and hardscaping crew that stocks compatible paver units, edge restraints, joint sand, and drainage components. Straight scope, firm price, no surprises at final walkthrough.
Which ECO Window Systems Models This Applies To
ECO Window Systems doesn’t manufacture pavers. What owners mean when they search this is: my ECO windows and doors look into or open onto a driveway or paver surface that’s failing, and I want one crew that understands both. We get it. The ECO Window Systems product lines we see most in Fort Worth are their sliding patio doors, casement windows, and fixed picture windows. The hardscape that meets those openings – paver driveways, walkways, door landings – needs to sit at the right elevation so water drains away from the frame, not toward it.
Here’s the compatibility gotcha: paver manufacturers like Belgard and Unilock (both name-brand materials we install and document) sell paver units in specific modular sizes, usually 60mm or 80mm thickness for driveways versus 50mm for walkways. If someone patched your driveway with thinner units, you’ll see edge crumbling and settling within a year. We verify unit thickness against the load it carries. For any ECO Window Systems entry, we also check that the finished paver surface sits below the window or door threshold by a minimum of 2 inches in Fort Worth, where our spring downpours will find any mistake in grading.
When we repair or replace paver hardscape around ECO Window Systems openings, we use Belgard or Unilock units with documented manufacturer specs. We don’t guess at material. We hand you the brand, the unit size, and the written price before we dig.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Low spots that hold water after rain. This is almost always a base failure – the aggregate or sand layer under the pavers has eroded or was never compacted to spec in Fort Worth’s shifting clay. Water pooling against your ECO Window Systems door frame is a guarantee of rot and seal failure on the frame itself.
- Pavers rocking or shifting underfoot. Loose units mean the edge restraint has failed or joint sand has washed out. Every time a car or person crosses that spot, the pavers grind against each other and worsen the damage.
- Edge pavers separating from the border. The restraint – typically aluminum or plastic edging spiked into the base – holds the entire field together. Losing the edge in one corner starts a slow unraveling across the whole driveway.
- Cracks in individual pavers near the garage or door landing. Heavier point loads from vehicles concentrate here. If you see cracking only in the wheel paths, the base under those tracks was never deep enough for vehicle traffic.
- Sand washing out of the joints after every rain. Joint sand locks the pavers together laterally. When it washes, the units start moving independently, and you’ll see widening gaps that collect debris and eventually weeds.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Fort Worth, a full paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver unit choice, and how much of the existing base has to be removed and rebuilt. Paver patios run $3,500 to $11,000. Driveway sealing runs $250 to $700. Every quote includes the written price before any work starts – that’s non-negotiable for us – along with the specific paver brand and unit, base depth, edge restraint, and joint sand.
What changes the number: total square footage, whether we’re pulling up and hauling away the old surface, how deep the new aggregate base needs to be (we go deeper than code minimums in Fort Worth because our clay soil moves), and paver unit choice. A standard Belgard unit runs differently than a premium Unilock product. Our quote breaks each line out so you see exactly what you’re paying for. No allowance games. No surprise invoice at the end.
Every completed job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If your driveway or paver surface fails inside that year under normal use, we come back and correct it at no charge. You get the signed guarantee at final walkthrough, same as every Bradford Remodeling job.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check a few things: look for visible low spots after rain, note whether paver edges are separating, and watch whether sand piles up at the driveway mouth after a storm. Those observations help us quote faster. You can also re-sand joints if the base is still solid – it’s a stopgap, not a repair.
What you shouldn’t do is lift and reset pavers yourself to fix settling. The problem is almost never the pavers – it’s what’s underneath. You’ll dig down, find the base short or the compaction bad, and then you’re either backfilling with whatever’s on hand (which fails within a year in Fort Worth soil) or calling us anyway with a hole in your driveway. For full driveways around ECO Window Systems openings, the grading against the frame has to be right or you’ll be replacing the door too. If your driveway is settling or separating, call (682) 204-4897. We’ll come look, measure, and give you a written price.
FAQs
A properly installed paver driveway with a deep aggregate base and competent edge restraint should last 25 to 30 years in Fort Worth even with our clay soil and temperature swings. The pavers themselves rarely fail – the base does. Call (682) 204-4897 for an assessment and a written price.
Yes, if the base under the rest of the driveway is sound, we can reset a settled section, rebuild the base under it, and reinstall the original pavers if they’re intact and we can match or salvage them. If the failure is widespread, a full base rebuild is the honest answer. Estimates are free – call (682) 204-4897.
Most Fort Worth driveway replacements take 3 to 7 working days depending on size and how much old base material we’re hauling out. We keep the site clean daily, and you get a written scope with a timeline before we start.
We supply the pavers through our documented material sources, including Belgard and Unilock, with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own.
