Paver Driveways, Patios & Pool Decks on Merritt Island, FL

How does the water table change a Merritt Island paver base?

With water close to the surface, drainage planning is central to a paver surface that lasts. We build in enough slope that rain runs off the surface instead of sitting over a high water table, and we spell out base depth and edge restraint on the quote instead of hiding them in one line.

On island jobs, where a driveway lands inside the price range mostly depends on how much old slab comes out and how much slope we build in.

Who issues permits on Merritt Island?

Most of Merritt Island is unincorporated Brevard County, so a new, widened or street-tied driveway is generally permitted through the county, not a city hall. Homeowners sometimes assume there is no permit because there is no city. Impervious-surface and stormwater rules still apply, and the scrutiny is tighter on an island where water has nowhere far to go.

What about canal and waterfront homes?

Along the Sykes Creek canals and in North Merritt Island, many homes are waterfront or boating homes, and pool decks often wrap toward the dock or the seawall. Those surfaces take year-round exposure, so we choose pavers and sealers with the brackish air in mind and plan how water leaves the deck.
