CGI Driveway & Pavers: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
We stock and install CGI-compatible driveway pavers and retaining-wall systems in Pompano Beach, with typical installed pricing running $7,000-$18,000 for paver driveway replacement and $3,500-$11,000 for paver patio work. Most CGI paver and wall-block calls in Pompano Beach are same-day assessable. Homeowners usually discover the failure when individual pavers start rocking under tire weight, edge restraints pull away from the border, or surface water pools where the pitch used to drain - signs that the bedding layer, joint sand, or edge system has degraded past the point where spot fixes hold.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI produces several hardscape lines that appear on Pompano Beach properties: the Classic Cobble paver series, the Plaza Stone architectural slab line, and the Sierra retaining-wall system. The part you need depends on which generation is installed. Pre-2018 Classic Cobble runs 60mm thickness; post-2018 shifts to 80mm for vehicular-rated applications, and the two are not interchangeable on the same plane without rebedding the entire field. Check the spacer-bar pattern on the paver underside - three narrow ribs versus two wide ones tells you the generation.
We carry both OEM CGI stock and quality aftermarket equivalents from Belgard and Techo-Bloc where the color match permits. The aftermarket decision usually comes down to dye-lot consistency: CGI’s Florida-mixed pigments hold UV stability well, but if your installation is eight-plus years old, even OEM new stock may read slightly warmer against sun-bleached existing pavers. We photograph the existing field under neutral light and source against that, not the catalog swatch. Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach is an independent service provider - not affiliated with CGI - and we source across fifty-plus vetted brands to get the written quote honest.
Signs Your CGI Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

- Individual pavers rock or click under vehicle weight. This means the bedding sand has washed out or compacted unevenly, leaving voids beneath the paver body. In Pompano Beach, our summer downpours accelerate this when joint sand is depleted and water channels underneath instead of across the surface.
- Edge restraints pull back from the border course. The plastic or aluminum edging spikes have corroded or the concrete haunch has cracked, allowing lateral spread. Once the edge goes, the field loses interlock and the failure propagates inward faster than most owners expect.
- Surface pooling where water used to run off. The bedding layer beneath has settled or eroded, reversing the pitch. This is common near downspout outlets in Pompano Beach, where concentrated flow undermines the aggregate base over multiple rainy seasons.
- Weeds or ant mounds emerging from joints. Joint sand is gone, replaced by organic material that holds moisture against the paver edges. The underlying cause is usually the same washout, now advanced enough that biological colonization has begun.
- Chipped corners or spalling faces on multiple pavers. This indicates freeze-thaw damage if you’re north of here, but in Pompano Beach it more often signals de-icing chemical exposure or substandard paver compressive strength - 8,000 PSI minimum is what we specify for driveways, and some discount lots sell 6,500 PSI stock that crumbles under turning loads.

The range moves with access difficulty, base condition, and whether we need to match a discontinued CGI dye lot. Every quote is a flat written price with scope and warranty documented before work starts - Clause 1 of the Haven Standard. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; manufacturer defects in the pavers themselves run through CGI’s limited lifetime warranty where applicable. We pull permits when the work crosses into right-of-way or when the City of Pompano Beach requires it for driveway apron replacement, which is more common than owners expect on corner lots.
DIY or Call Us?

What you can safely check: walk the perimeter and photograph any edge separation, note which pavers rock under foot pressure, and verify your downspouts discharge at least six feet from the pavement edge. These observations save us time and you money.
Where DIY goes wrong: lifting pavers without releasing the edge restraint first damages the interlock pattern; rebedding on uncompacted base material guarantees recurrence within two seasons; and matching joint sand gradation - coarse concrete sand, not masonry sand or polymeric dust - is where most homeowner repairs fail. The labor is not dangerous like electrical or spring work, but the redo cost typically exceeds the original professional fix because the base is now contaminated. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll assess whether spot repair or sectional replacement is the honest recommendation.
FAQs
CGI pavers rated for vehicular traffic typically last 25-30 years in South Florida before surface wear becomes noticeable, though edge systems and joint sand need attention at 8-12 years. The salt air and intense UV in Pompano Beach fade color faster than structural failure - expect 15% surface gloss loss per decade, which most owners accept as patina. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote on refresh versus replacement - estimates are free.
Spot repair works when the failure is isolated to under 10% of the field and the base remains sound; beyond that, sectional replacement is more cost-effective than chasing symptoms. We evaluate this with a probe test - a steel rod driven at intervals to check base compaction depth - and show you the photo record before recommending either path. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Spot repairs run one day; sectional rebedding two to three days; full driveway replacement three to five days weather permitting, plus a 24-hour cure before vehicular traffic. We sequence tightly so nothing sits idle - a discipline Grant Rowan developed running crews through Pompano Beach’s older blocks where parking is already tight and neighbors notice when a driveway sits half-finished. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule.
We stock common edge restraint profiles, base aggregate, and joint sand; CGI pavers themselves are project-ordered to match dye lot, with most deliveries in 3-5 business days for in-stock colors. If your color is discontinued, we source closest-match alternatives from Belgard or Techo-Bloc and photograph the comparison against your existing field before you commit. Call (754) 714-6540 to check availability for your specific CGI series.
