78th Avenue South Pinellas Point Driveway Repairs

78th Avenue South is a quiet Pinellas Point street of single-family lots between the numbered avenues that run toward the bay. Many drives were set on bedding sand over native fill, which is fine until the first wet summer pumps the fines out.

Where these drives fail

The usual break is a dip at the garage lip and a ridge where the city sidewalk meets the apron. Tire paths settle first. Tree roots from the swale oaks heave a line of pavers without cracking the whole field, which is why a full tear-out is not always the right first move.

Repair sequence

We lift the loose courses, cut roots only where they are already in the base, and rebuild that panel on compacted aggregate. Sound pavers go back in. New pavers are matched only where the old units are broken or faded past a blend. Edge restraint is reset so the field cannot walk toward the street.
