Belgard Driveway & Pavers: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
We install and repair Belgard driveway and paver systems throughout Woodland Hills, and a full paver driveway installation typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, base prep, and the specific Belgard paver line you choose. Most repair work, like re-setting shifted pavers or fixing a sunken section, lands between $500 and $2,500. The usual discovery moment goes like this: after a heavy rain, you notice a low spot holding water, or a paver has cracked under the weight of the family SUV, or the sand between joints has washed out and weeds are now poking through. That’s the point where a driveway goes from something you ignore to something you have to deal with.
Which Belgard Models This Applies To
Belgard makes a broad range of concrete pavers, and the line you have determines what replacement material we source. The most common Belgard paver families we work on in Woodland Hills are the modular Holland stone, the larger Catalina and Mega-Arbel slabs, and permeable options like Aqua-Bric. Each series has its own thickness and dimensional tolerance, so you can’t swap a Holland stone into a Catalina pattern and expect the joints to line up. If you still have the original project paperwork, the paver name and color are on there. If not, we pull one full paver and measure its face dimensions and thickness, then match against Belgard’s current catalog. We install Belgard-compatible pavers but we’re an independent contractor, not a Belgard dealer or affiliate. For most homeowners, OEM Belgard replacement pavers are the right call because color and texture match the existing hardscape. Aftermarket equivalents exist and cost less, but the color drift is noticeable, especially on a driveway the whole neighborhood sees every day.
Styles & brands we work with







Signs Your Belgard Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Standing water after rain. A low spot means the base material underneath has settled or washed out. Water sitting on pavers accelerates joint sand loss and invites weeds.
- Pavers rocking or shifting underfoot. This is usually base failure, not a paver problem. The compacted base has eroded and the pavers have nothing solid to sit on.
- Wide or empty joints between pavers. The polymeric sand has washed out. Left alone, the pavers start drifting and edges chip as they grind against each other.
- Cracked or crumbling paver edges. Concrete pavers fail at the edges first when they’re over-stressed by vehicle tires near a free edge, or when freeze-thaw cycles work their way in. Woodland Hills doesn’t freeze often, but the sun does real damage over 15 years.
- Weeds pushing up through the joints. This is the symptom everyone notices first. It means the sand is gone and the root systems are now working against the base.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a full paver driveway replacement in Woodland Hills, expect $7,000 to $18,000. The spread comes down to three things: square footage, how much base work is needed, and which Belgard line you choose. A partial repair where we pull a failed section, re-compact the base, and re-set the same pavers usually falls between $500 and $2,500. Our written quote breaks out the part line, base material, labor, and disposal separately, so you see exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins. Every repair and install carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not right within a year, we come back and make it right, at no charge. That includes a second visit if a repair fails. No argument, no invoice.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely pull a single loose paver, check what’s underneath, and sweep fresh sand into a few empty joints. That’s about where most homeowners should stop. The danger zone isn’t the pavers themselves, it’s what’s under them. If the base has washed out or settled, re-setting pavers without re-compacting the base means you’ll be doing it again in 12 months. A full paver pull-and-reset involves a plate compactor, proper base aggregate, and getting the slope right so water drains off instead of pooling. For a section bigger than a few square feet, or anything involving a sloped driveway, call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll give you an honest recommendation, even if the answer is “that’s fine, leave it alone.”
FAQs

Belgard concrete pavers typically last 25 to 40 years in the Woodland Hills climate, but the base underneath usually needs attention around the 10 to 15 year mark. Our sun and occasional heavy rain cycles do more damage to the sub-base than most people expect. Call (341) 217-2776 if your driveway is over 10 years old and showing signs of settlement, and we’ll tell you what a repair actually costs.
Yes, most paver driveways can be repaired section by section rather than fully replaced, as long as the base hasn’t failed across the entire area. We pull the affected pavers, re-compact the base with fresh aggregate, and re-set everything to match the original pattern. Call (341) 217-2776 for a free estimate on the section that’s failing.
A typical paver repair in Woodland Hills takes one to two days, including base prep and re-setting. Full driveway replacements run three to five days depending on square footage and access. Call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll give you a written timeline before work starts.
If we’re repairing your driveway, we handle sourcing the matching Belgard pavers for you, including matching the color and series to what’s already installed. We also regularly work with KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone for interior projects, so we’re used to matching named-brand materials accurately. Call (341) 217-2776 and we’ll confirm your paver line and get pricing locked in.
