PGT Driveway & Pavers: The Fort Worth Owner’s Guide
We stock and install PGT-compatible driveway and paver components in Fort Worth, with complete paver driveway installations running $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, substrate condition, and paver style. Most homeowners discover a failing driveway surface the slow way: a paver sinks after a heavy rain, a seam opens along the apron, or water starts pooling where it never pooled before. We keep common PGT-spec pavers and replacement components on hand, and we can match most existing layouts without tearing out the entire run.
Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth is an independent service provider. We are not affiliated with PGT, but we work with their paver and hardscape specifications daily, and we know how a PGT surface should sit, drain, and wear through a North Texas summer.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT driveway and paver systems in Fort Worth fall into three broad families: interlocking concrete pavers, clay brick pavers, and permeable paver grids. The interlocking units are the most common in the metro, usually 60mm or 80mm thickness. The 60mm units are rated for pedestrian and light vehicle traffic. The 80mm units are the code-minimum choice for a standard two-car driveway that sees daily use. If you’re not sure which you have, pull one unit from the edge and measure the thickness with a tape. That single number drives the replacement conversation.
On the OEM-versus-aftermarket question: PGT-branded pavers are manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, which matters when you’re patching a section rather than relaying the whole surface. A generic paver that runs a millimeter thick or thin will telegraph that difference across three or four courses. For a full tear-out and reinstall, a quality aftermarket unit from a documented manufacturer often makes better financial sense. We’ll tell you which way to go once we see the existing layout, and the written price reflects that call, not a guess.

Signs Your PGT Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Sunken or dipped pavers along the wheel tracks. This usually means the base layer under that section has washed out or settled. Fort Worth’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, and a base that wasn’t compacted in lifts will eventually move.
- Water pooling after rain. PGT paver systems are designed with a slight slope for drainage. If water is standing flat, the grade has shifted or the bedding sand has migrated out through the joints.
- Joint sand disappearing between pavers. Every Fort Worth windstorm and hard rain pulls a little sand out of the joints. When the sand goes, the pavers start moving against each other, and edges chip.
- Edge restraint failure along the driveway border. The plastic or aluminum edging at the driveway edge is what holds the whole field in tension. Once it cracks or pulls loose, the outer pavers start walking outward.
- Chipped or spalled paver surfaces. Paver faces break down from UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles. North Texas doesn’t freeze often, but when it does, water trapped in the surface pores expands and pops the face off.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
A full PGT-compatible paver driveway in Fort Worth runs $7,000 to $18,000 installed. That price includes removal of the existing surface, excavation to proper depth, new base material, bedding sand, the pavers themselves, edge restraint, joint sand, and compaction. Partial repairs, such as re-leveling a sunken section or replacing a damaged border run, typically fall under the full-replacement range and are priced by the linear foot or square foot once we see the scope.
What moves the number: driveway size, whether the existing base can be salvaged, paver thickness, and access. A driveway behind a gate with no room for equipment costs more to work than an open street-facing apron. Every quote we write in Fort Worth is a fixed price in writing before work starts. The 365-Day Done Right Promise stands behind the completed surface: if it fails within that year, we return and correct it at no charge.
DIY or Call Us?
There are a few things an owner can safely check: measure the paver thickness, look for obvious edge restraint failure, and note where water ponds after a rain. That information helps you talk through the problem on the phone and gives us a head start on the estimate.
Where DIY goes wrong is the base. Replacing pavers without fixing the substrate underneath means the new surface fails the same way the old one did, just on a different timeline. Cutting pavers without proper equipment means ragged edges and gaps. Moving 80mm pavers by hand for a full driveway is a two-week job that wrecks a back. If you’re seeing sinking, spreading, or drainage failure, call us at (682) 204-4897. We’ll look at the site, read the base, and write a number that doesn’t move.
FAQs
A properly installed paver driveway in Fort Worth with a sound base typically lasts 25 to 40 years, though the surface may need joint sand replenished every 3 to 5 years. The pavers themselves rarely fail; what fails is usually the base or the edge restraint. Call (682) 204-4897 if you’re seeing movement, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a fix or a full relay.
Yes, if the failure is localized to one area and the surrounding base is still sound, we can pull the affected section, correct the base, and relay the pavers. If the base has failed across a wide area, patching becomes a losing game. An on-site look tells us which situation you have.
A typical Fort Worth residential paver driveway replacement takes 4 to 7 working days from excavation to final compaction, weather permitting. Partial repairs can often be done in a day or two. We’ll give you a written timeline with the written price.
We keep common 60mm and 80mm interlocking paver units in stock for standard repairs, and we order specialty colors or patterns per job. For matching existing work, we’ll pull a sample from your driveway and match it before the order is placed. Call (682) 204-4897 for a free estimate on any PGT driveway or paver issue in Fort Worth.
