38th Avenue North Driveways in West-Central St. Petersburg

38th Avenue North runs through west-central St. Petersburg as a mixed residential corridor: mid-century houses, later infill, and driveways that were often set on a thin sand bed. The houses look finished. The subgrade is still Florida sand with a high water table.

PaverForge Hardscapes installs and re-levels those fields from St. Pete Beach. Call 727-490-9798 or book at https://www.paverforge.com/book-online.

What these lots actually need

Most calls here are two-car drives that settled at the garage, walks that pond at the stoop, and side yards too tight for a dump truck. Color will not fix that.

• Compacted aggregate base sized for cars if it is a driveway

• Pitch away from the house and the neighbor, not a fake two-percent slope

• Edge restraint that stays put through heat and summer rain

• A staging plan that uses the street legally instead of tearing the side yard

How to start

Send photos of the surface, the low spots, and the street frontage. We typically reply the same business day and walk the lot before we lock a number.
