Project planning guide
Planning a paver driveway and drainage scope
Questions to separate a new paver driveway surface, drainage assessment and adjoining work in your estimate.
This page provides planning information, not a record or photo gallery of completed work by Perfect Pavers of Palm Beach.
Record the current surface and water concerns
Bring photographs of the driveway, garage threshold, sidewalk and street connection. Note where you have observed standing or flowing water and when it occurs. A photograph of another installation cannot determine an appropriate drainage solution for your property.
Separate assessment from construction
Ask who will assess the existing elevations and drainage route and what information is needed before recommending a change. The written scope should identify any proposed drainage work separately from paver removal, base preparation and surface installation.
Describe transitions and responsibilities
Identify retained drains, utilities, landscaping and adjoining surfaces. Ask which items will be protected, moved, replaced or restored, and who is responsible for work outside the paver installation. Confirm applicable municipal and association requirements for the proposed scope.
Compare itemized proposals
Compare the same material, measured area, preparation and restoration items. Record exclusions, access needs and scheduling assumptions. Request a site-specific estimate; no price, completion time or drainage outcome can be established from this planning guide.
Discuss your property
Review our paver driveway installation service and bring your questions to a site visit. We can discuss the requested work and what information is needed for a property-specific proposal.
