Driveway installation in Palm Beach Gardens starts with the ground: we grade the path, compact the base and slope it to drain with a Bobcat T740 and 60" grapple, $1,385/day with an operator. Free estimates.
We build the ground your driveway sits on. The Bobcat T740 cuts and levels the path to a consistent width and line, compacts the subgrade so it does not rut under vehicles, and crowns or cross-slopes the pad so rain runs off instead of toward the garage. The machine and operator are $1,385 per day. Base and finish material, whether limerock, shell, gravel or a paved surface, is priced separately, so call for a quote on those.
The city has a lot of driveways that were poured once and never touched again. If yours has cracked, settled or tilts toward the house, the surface is rarely the cause. The base is, and a new surface over the same base fails the same way.
Inside the city limits, permits come from the City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Division at 10500 N Military Trail, not from unincorporated Palm Beach County. A driveway apron or curb cut touches the public right-of-way, so check what the city needs before the first cut. We call 811 before anything digs.
Palm Beach Gardens was planned as a garden city, and it keeps a City Forester. The city regulates the removal of trees and palms and regulates pruning as well, so a driveway that swings through a root zone or past a palm needs a plan. We lay the path out around the canopy during the estimate rather than after a complaint.
Most of the city sits inside a community association. PGA National, BallenIsles, Frenchman’s Creek, Mirasol, Evergrene, Alton and Avenir all run architectural review, and driveway material, width and color are among the usual subjects. Get your board’s approval first and we will build the base to what it approves.
The 1960s and 1970s neighborhoods are single-story concrete block homes, often with their original driveways. The golf and country-club communities that followed brought larger lots and longer runs, and the newest western communities such as Avenir are mostly warranty-age. Different driveways, same question: where does the rain go?
All of Palm Beach Gardens sits in the Florida Building Code’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, but that rule governs windows and doors, not pavement. What a driveway meets is wet-season rain and the water table. Flood exposure differs by parcel, so confirm your lot’s flood zone before raising or reshaping a pad. Where a path sits low, we can raise it with fill before the base goes in.
If the path has brush or a fence line in the way, see lot clearing. If it sits low and needs raising, see fill dirt and excavation. We can bundle them into one mobilization. For permits beyond the city, the permits and regulations guide covers the basics.

Most Palm Beach Gardens communities run their own architectural review, and driveway material, width and color are usual subjects. Get the approval before work starts. We can build the base to whatever your association approves.
We build the base: grading the path, compacting it and sloping it to drain. The finish surface, whether limerock, shell, gravel or a paved surface, is sourced and priced separately. Call and we will talk through options for your lot.
If it has cracked, settled or slopes toward the house, the base is the problem and a new surface over the same ground will fail the same way. Many 1960s and 1970s block homes in the city have original driveways. Re-grading and compacting the base first is the usual fix, and we look at it before recommending anything.
