La Puerta Del Sol Paver Driveways

La Puerta Del Sol is a south St. Petersburg pocket near Pinellas Point, with gulf-side light, older homes, and driveways that take salt air even when they are not on the sand. PaverForge Hardscapes installs and resets paver drives, walks, and entry landings for those lots.

Salt air is the detail that changes the spec. Plastic edge restraint gets brittle. We use a concrete ribbon curb or a salt-rated metal edge on open drives, and we keep polymeric sand joints tight so wind-blown sand does not eat the bedding. A darker border hides tire scuff from the sandy street.

Several streets here sit low. We do not pave a drive that holds water against the garage. If the existing slab is below the apron, the repair is a new base and a field pitched to the street, with a trench drain only if the garage is the low point and there is a legal outfall.

• Entry landings rebuilt to the existing stoop, not raised into the door sweep

• Walks that stay narrow enough for the side-yard setback

• Hose-bib and irrigation valve boxes cut flush, not buried

• Apron match to the existing city sidewalk elevation

South St. Pete access is tight on some blocks. We stage from the drive, not the swale, and we protect the city sidewalk during the cut. PaverForge serves La Puerta Del Sol from St. Pete Beach. Call 727-490-9798 or book online at paverforge.com.

If the house is in a local historic or design-review area, bring the HOA or city packet before we order pavers. We can match a sample, but we do not guess an approved color.
