Driveways are one of the most neglected features of a home. Over time concrete can crack or the pavers can wear. You might notice if the landscaping in front of your house is overgrown or that the paint on your front door is a little the worse for wear, but when was the last time you actually looked at your driveway? Chances are it’s overgrown, crumbling and in need of a licensed driveway replacement contractor.
Installing a new driveway offers a number of benefits – including enhanced curb appeal, more space, better drainage, better landscaping opportunities and increased property value.

Why should I install a new driveway?
There are a lot of benefits associated with having a new driveway installed. In fact, you might be surprised to discover how big of a difference a new driveway can make.
The curb appeal of your home will be enhanced dramatically. You can install a driveway that will make your home look more modern or one that makes your landscaping design appear even more compelling. Fresh pavers or newly poured concrete will convey the message that your home is well-maintained.
Of course, the benefits of a new driveway installation aren’t limited to aesthetics. First of all, a new driveway is a great way to increase your property value. Driveway installations usually offer an excellent return on investment.
Replacing a driveway that is old also gives you an opportunity to think about what you want out of your driveway. Chances are that design principles and lifestyles were different when your old driveway was installed. A new driveway installation will allow you to add space for additional parking and make it easier to accommodate homes with multiple drivers.
Converting to a circular driveway
Installing a circular driveway is a great way to improve the style and value of your home. The sweep of the curve in your new driveway will add a touch of elegance to your landscape and help make a positive first impression on your guests. Stepping up to a circular driveway can also make your life more convenient! Pull right up to the entryway when it’s raining or you have a heavy load to carry inside. And you won’t have to play musical cars anymore, moving one car to let the other out.
Driveways aren’t made to last forever – especially in South Florida, where the rays of the sun can be relentless and heavy rains are not uncommon. If you have a concrete driveway, over time the elements may cause cracks to form. After years of use, asphalt driveways can crack or be subject to potholes. Pavers can fade, crack and chip.
Not only are these damaged surfaces unsightly, they can also be a hazard. Imagine if a visitor to your home were to trip as they made their way from their car to your front door!
What kind of material should I use for my new driveway?
Concrete, asphalt and pavers are the most common materials used for new driveways in South Florida. Let’s take a quick look at each of them…
Asphalt driveways
Of the three, asphalt driveways are the least expensive driveway material. But just because it is the most affordable driveway option, doesn’t mean it won’t deliver on quality and good looks. Asphalt is also durable and the rich black of a quality asphalt driveway installation can enhance the look of your home and landscaping. The sun and rain in South Florida can cause asphalt to crack, but basic maintenance will easily take care of any cracks that might appear. If cracks become widespread, you don’t have to replace the driveway; just apply a fresh layer of asphalt. An inch or two is all you need to have your asphalt driveway looking like new.
Concrete driveways
Concrete is another popular choice for new driveway installations. The cost of a driveway made from concrete is a little more expensive than asphalt, but it is durable and holds up well to the high heat and unrelenting sun in South Florida. Like asphalt, concrete driveways require maintenance. You should periodically seal the concrete. Concrete can be cleaned (a pressure washer can be very effective) but it cannot be resurfaced the way an asphalt driveway can. In some cases, the large slabs of concrete typically used in driveway installations can become uneven; rain or moisture may lead to sinking or tree roots can push slabs upward.
Brick or paver driveways
If you drive through just about any neighborhood in Coral Springs, you will get an idea of the different styles and patterns that you can choose from if you decide to use pavers for your new driveway. Pavers come in a variety of sizes, colors and shapes. Whether you go with a herringbone pattern in a traditional brick or choose to create a pattern using different sizes of grey pavers, the end result will be a striking new driveway that adds an air of sophistication to the look of your home. Pavers are more expensive than concrete or asphalt, but they will last a long time. Maintenance includes regular cleaning, weed prevention and the need to occasionally replace a damaged paver or two.
How much does it cost to replace a driveway?
The average cost of a new driveway varies, depending on a number of factors, including:
The material being used (asphalt, concrete or pavers)
The size of the driveway. How many square feet is the driveway.
The shape of the driveway. Is it straight or circular?
- The extent of site preparation needed (for example, are you replacing a driveway or installing a driveway for new construction)
Estimated Cost for Concrete Driveway in Coral Springs, Florida in 2023
- Approximately $2.50 per square foot for land clearing and debris removal.
- Approximately $1.50 per square foot for form work and materials.

How much does it cost to install a circular driveway?
A circular driveway can be an excellent addition to your home, both in terms of style and practicality. If you want to upgrade and make your new driveway a circular driveway, you will need to ask your contractor to design the new driveway, check for underground utilities, prepare the land accordingly and lay down the subsurface before installation of the driveway surface. The cost will be more than what you might pay to simply replace the driveway you have now but chances are, you’ll think the price is well worth it when you see the final results.
Estimated Cost for a Concrete Circular Driveway in Coral Springs, Florida in 2023
- Approximately $2.75 per square foot for land clearing and debris removal.
- Approximately $1.75 per square foot for form work and materials.
- Approximately $6.75 per square foot for concrete, pimping and finishing.
- Approximately $1000 for permitting expenses.
Who should I call to replace my driveway?
On the surface, you might think that driveway installation is a pretty straightforward project. If you want the job done right, however, there are a lot of details that need to be taken into consideration – from pulling the permits and grading the subsurface to determining the necessary thickness of the concrete or what pavers to use. That’s why, when the time comes for a new driveway, the experts recommend that you call a licensed driveway contractor. Remember that only a licensed and insured contractor can legally pull the permits needed for a new driveway.
SCAM WARNING!
If your driveway is visibly in need of repair or replacement, you may find someone knocking on your door and offering to help. They may say they were doing some work in your neighborhood and, because they just happen to have some materials left over, they could fix your driveway for what seems like a good price. Don’t trust them! This is a common scam.
