Paver driveways
Paver driveways that set the tone for the whole property
A driveway is the first statement your home makes. We design and install paver drives and motor courts that fit the architecture, carry the weight and still look crisp years from now.
More than a place to park
Designed with the entry, not after it
The best driveways are designed together with the front landscape: where the palms go, how the walk meets the door, where the lighting runs. That is how a drive becomes an arrival.
We lay out curves, widths and turning radii on the plan so cars move easily and the planting beds stay protected, then detail borders, inlays and transitions so the drive reads as part of the house rather than a slab in front of it.
How we approach it
- 01
Concrete pavers, clay brick and travertine, chosen for your home's style
- 02
Herringbone and other interlocking patterns suited to vehicle traffic
- 03
Border bands, turf inlays and geometric layouts for modern homes
- 04
Compacted base and edge restraint built for Florida's sandy soils
- 05
Sleeves for lighting and irrigation set before the pavers go down
Driveway styles
From brick circles to modern geometry
- 01
Circular drives and motor courts
A loop around a planted island, often with a palm or specimen tree at the center, for homes with the frontage to make an entrance.
- 02
Geometric drives with turf inlays
Large-format pavers in a grid with turf or stone joints, a signature of new modern construction in Naples and Fort Myers.
- 03
Curving drives through the landscape
Long drives that bend around existing palms and beds, with borders that define the edge and lighting that follows the curve at night.
- 04
Replacement and expansion
Tearing out cracked concrete and replacing it with pavers, widening for another car, or adding a parking court, with the front landscape refreshed around it.

First impressions, rebuilt
It is my 2nd time to hire Lombardo Landscaping. This time they installed pavers in front and to the side of my property. What a big difference and beautiful enhancement for my property.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
Are pavers or concrete better for a Florida driveway?
Pavers flex with sandy soils and root movement instead of cracking, damaged units can be lifted and replaced, and the joints let rainwater soak in. Poured concrete can cost less initially, but cracks are permanent. For a high-end home, pavers usually win on looks, longevity and repairability.
What paver pattern is strongest for a driveway?
Interlocking patterns such as herringbone spread the load of turning tires across many units, which is why they are the standard for vehicle areas. We also use other patterns where the design calls for them and detail the base to suit.
Will lighting and irrigation still work after the driveway is installed?
That is exactly why we plan them together. Sleeves for wire and pipe go under the drive before the pavers are laid, so the landscape on both sides can be lit and watered without cutting into a new surface.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway?
Often, especially where the drive meets the street in the public right of way, and many communities also require HOA approval. As a licensed contractor (CRC1331625) we build to the requirements that apply to your property.
Should a paver driveway be sealed?
It is optional. Sealing helps protect color, stabilize joint sand and resist oil stains, which can be worthwhile in full Florida sun. We will recommend based on the material you choose. See our driveway maintenance tips.
