Lake Vista and Greater Pinellas Point Bay-View Driveways

Lake Vista and Greater Pinellas Point sit on the south end of St. Petersburg where lots look toward Tampa Bay, Maximo, and the Skyway. Drives here fail when the field is pretty and the pitch is wrong. Stormwater has to leave the garage threshold and the house slab, not pond against the stoop after a summer cell.

Soils and salt air on this end of the peninsula

Sugar sand under a thin shell cap is common. We undercut organic pockets, lay geotextile, and compact crushed concrete or limestone in lifts you can proof-roll. Edge restraint gets pinned on the compacted shoulder, not in loose fill the mower will kick out. Metal edges in the salt fetch get a coastal spec or we switch to a concrete ribbon where the HOA allows it.

• Two-percent pitch off the slab, confirmed with a level before bedding

• 80 mm drive field with a darker border that hides tire scuffs

• Apron and ROW work coordinated with the city, not poured as an afterthought

• Irrigation heads reset so they do not stain the new face

What we need from you

Send the address, a photo from the street, and a photo at the garage door. We will walk the lot, check the existing crown, and tell you whether we can overlay a sound slab or whether the sand under it has to come out. Call 727-490-9798. PaverForge Hardscapes is based in St. Pete Beach and works this south-county pocket every week.
