Hardscaping – Concrete & Pavers in Margate
Pavers do not fail; bases do. Every driveway and pool deck we lay sits on an excavated, compacted limerock base with proper edge restraint, which is why it is still flat in ten years.
Pavers & Hardscaping work in Margate
Margate was developed in the 1960s–70s with compact single-family homes and condo communities for retirees, so remodels here lean toward aging-in-place baths — curbless showers, grab bars, wider doors — and kitchens that are often still original.
Right-of-way and drainage permits handled by PSR where required. Nearly every Broward municipality issues its own building permits through a city building department; the county’s Building Code Services Division covers the unincorporated areas, and the whole county sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
South Florida sand and seasonal flooding move everything that is not built on a real base. We excavate to depth, compact in lifts, screed the bedding sand, and lock the field with edge restraint and polymeric sand. Then we seal it.
What we build
- Paver driveways, walkways and pool decks in concrete, travertine and porcelain pavers.
- Concrete slabs, pads and aprons poured and finished.
- Retaining walls, seat walls and fire-pit areas.
- Drainage: French drains, channel drains and grading, so the new surface sheds water away from the house.
Driveways and the right-of-way
Where a driveway meets the street, most cities require a right-of-way or driveway permit and, in HOA communities, an architectural approval. We handle both.
