PGT Driveway & Pavers: The Dallas Owner’s Guide
PGT driveway and paver work in Dallas typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 installed, depending on square footage, base prep, and drainage work. We keep a documented parts list for PGT-compatible pavers and edge restraints on hand, and most driveway failures show up the same way: a section settles after a hard North Texas rain, an edge paver breaks loose, or a low spot starts holding water against the slab. You’ll usually notice the problem before it gets dangerous, and the fix is almost always a base repair first, part replacement second.
Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas is an independent service provider, not affiliated with PGT or any parent brand. That said, we match PGT’s paver profiles and dimensions because so many Dallas homes already have them in place and we’d rather repair clean than rip out good material.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT’s driveway and paver lines come in three common profiles: 60mm pedestrian pavers for walkways and patios, 80mm vehicular pavers for residential driveways, and a 100mm heavy-duty profile for larger vehicles, RVs, and commercial approaches. Get this wrong and a 60mm paver under a pickup’s weight will crack at the first freeze-thaw cycle. We’ve seen it happen in Lake Highlands and Oak Cliff more than once.
To identify what you have, look at the underside of a pulled paver. Most PGT pavers carry a stamped identifier near the edge, but if that’s worn off, measure the paver’s thickness with a tape. That dimension plus the top texture, chamfer style, and the pattern layout usually tells us what belongs in the cart. For replacement units, OEM is the right call if you’re matching color and texture on a visible driveway. For base failures under the pavers, the part brand matters less than the base spec, and that’s where a quality aftermarket equivalent with matching dimensions saves money without cutting corners.

Signs Your PGT Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Water pooling against the garage slab after rain. That’s a base or slope failure underneath, not a paver problem. The pavers are just showing you where the base has settled or washed out.
- Edge pavers shifting sideways or dropping. The edge restraint has failed or was never installed to vehicle-load spec. Lateral shift only gets worse once a tire catches the raised edge.
- Paver face spalling or flaking in small patches. This is usually de-icing salt, hard water with high mineral content, or a freeze-thaw cycle working on a paver that wasn’t rated for Dallas winters. PGT’s 80mm and 100mm profiles resist this far better than the 60mm pedestrian units.
- A low spot that wasn’t there a year ago. Dallas clay soil expands and contracts more than most owners expect. After two summers of shrink-swell cycles, an undersized gravel base will compress and the low spot appears.
- Polymeric sand washing out between joints. If the sand keeps disappearing, water is moving through the base instead of off the surface. Re-sanding alone won’t fix it, and that’s the most common mistake we see from handyman repairs around Dallas.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
Plan on $7,000 to $18,000 for a full PGT-compatible paver driveway replacement in Dallas. That’s parts and labor, base prep, excavation, geotextile fabric, edge restraint, and joint sand. A partial repair, like re-leveling one settled section and resetting the pavers, typically lands between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on access and how much base needs to be redone.
What drives the spread: square footage obviously, but also how much of the old base is salvageable, whether the soil has shifted enough to need additional compaction, and whether we’re matching existing PGT pavers or starting fresh. We give you a written price before any work begins, with the part count, square footage, and base spec listed line by line. That number doesn’t move at the door. All completed work carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a repaired section settles or a paver fails within the guarantee year, we come back and correct it at no charge. Straight number, real scope, no surprises on delivery day.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check two things yourself without touching the driveway: walk the edges with a tape measure and note where pavers have shifted more than a quarter inch, and run a hose across the surface on a dry day to see where water ponds. That’s useful information for us. What you shouldn’t do is start pulling pavers and re-sanding a driveway section. Driveway pavers carry tension across the whole field. Dig out the wrong unit, and you can unseat the edge restraint, disturb a properly compacted base, and turn a $300 patch into a $3,000 reset. For anything beyond a visual check, call (903) 326-8963. We’ll bring the right base spec, the matching part profile, and a written price with the scope spelled out.
FAQs
A properly installed PGT-compatible paver driveway lasts 25 to 40 years on a correctly compacted base, with the pavers themselves outlasting two or three sand re-joints in that span. The weak point in Dallas is always the base: shrink-swell clay under an undersized gravel bed will settle a driveway in under ten years.
Yes, if the failure is isolated and the surrounding pavers are sound, we can cut out the settled section, rebuild the base, and reset the original pavers. The trick is matching the compaction and the joint pattern so the repair doesn’t telegraph. When the base is uniformly bad across the whole field, a patch just shifts the problem to the next paver. Call (903) 326-8963 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Most PGT-compatible paver driveway replacements in Dallas take four to seven working days from excavation to final compaction and joint sand, weather depending. Partial repairs are usually one or two days. We’ll put the schedule in writing with the price, and the crew who starts is the crew who finishes.
We stock 80mm and 100mm PGT-compatible units in the most common Dallas colorways and textures, plus edge restraints and polymeric sand, on every paver job. If you have a less common profile or color, we’ll source the OEM match and confirm the lead time before we start. We also keep documented parts coverage for KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone work, so your paver repair doesn’t become a second project to source.
