Tequesta's riverfront village runs mature driveways that cross swales and culverts to reach the street, and the sandy base under those drives settles and fails when water pools after summer storms or the inlet's salt air oxidizes the asphalt faster than homeowners expect. We've been paving and repairing driveways in Tequesta and Port St. Lucie since 2011, and we know exactly why your driveway breaks at the edges and how to fix it right.
Most Tequesta homes sit on the original 1980s and 1990s lots platted by General Development, with driveway aprons that cross the swale on a culvert pipe. That design is sound, but the fine sand base and high water table mean drainage and compaction matter more here than they do inland. When your drive settles or cracks, or standing water pools after a tropical storm, call Port St Lucie Asphalt Paving. We're local, we're fully insured, and we show up with written estimates that spell out thickness and tonnage so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Asphalt Paving in Tequesta (33469)
Tequesta driveways fail for three reasons: water, heat, and the sand beneath them. The North Fork of the St. Lucie River runs close by, the water table sits high, and summer thunderstorms dump more than 50 inches of rain in a few months. When the pitch fails or the swale doesn't drain, water softens the fine sand base and the edges of your drive settle or break. The Treasure Coast sun and salt air oxidize asphalt fast, and without proper base compaction and drainage, a driveway that looks solid can fail in a few years instead of ten or fifteen.
We serve Tequesta and the surrounding Port St. Lucie area with driveway paving, repair, resurfacing, and full-depth replacement. We've worked on the quarter-acre lots near the inlet, the newer planned communities with HOA streets, and the private roads that tie together the riverfront properties. We know the local soil, the drainage rules, and what the Tequesta Building Department requires for permits on aprons and curb cuts. Our team is fully insured for general liability and workers' compensation, and we've been in business since 2011.

How a Job Works in Tequesta
Call us at (772) 348-4123 for a free on-site estimate. We'll walk your driveway, measure the square footage, look at the base and drainage, and ask about any settling or standing water you've noticed. If your drive is salvageable with a resurfacing or overlay, we'll say so. If it needs full-depth replacement or grading to fix the pitch, we'll explain that too, with a written estimate that includes thickness, tonnage, and price. No surprises, no upsell.
When we schedule the work, we'll coordinate with the Tequesta Building Department if a permit is required for your apron or curb cut, and we'll verify any HOA architectural standards if you're in a master-planned community. Our crew will mark utilities with Florida 811 before any excavation. We mill or remove the old asphalt, prepare and proof-roll the base, and lay new asphalt to the thickness and compaction spec on your estimate. We work around the afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season, and we'll schedule your job so the asphalt has time to cure before any heavy traffic or weather.
When we're done, we haul away all the old material and debris, sweep the drive clean, and walk through the finished job with you. Your driveway is ready to use, and you'll have a copy of the estimate and the work performed for your records.
Driveway paving in Tequesta typically starts around $6 per square foot for new asphalt, depending on the square footage, base condition, and thickness. A resurfacing or overlay over a sound base runs from about $4 per square foot. Repair work like pothole patching or edge reconstruction starts at $450. A full-depth replacement of a failed drive, including base prep and grading to fix drainage, runs higher because of the material and labor involved. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (772) 348-4123 for a free estimate. We'll measure on site, assess the base and drainage, and give you a written price with tonnage and thickness so you can compare honestly and make the right choice for your property.
