Why Groundwork Construction Co. of Las Vegas Is Whitney’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’ve been working in the 89122 ZIP since we opened our Las Vegas operation in 2014. That’s over a decade of watching Whitney’s original tract homes age out their driveways, aprons, and walkways. Our customers here know we understand the difference between county and city permitting. They know our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with the right gear for caliche soil.
Our 730-Day Done Right Promise covers every driveway and paver project we complete in Whitney. If it’s not done right, we make it right - one of the longest workmanship guarantees in residential construction. No fine print that expires at 12 months when the first summer heat cycle hits your new pour.
Calls answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not a callback next business day. Real humans, around the clock. That’s not marketing - that’s how we operate.
Most Whitney calls get same-day or next-day scheduling. We’re not driving in from Henderson or Summerlin. We’re local. We know where Salt Lake Drive meets E. Owens Avenue. We know which homes in the older sections have the original 4-inch concrete pours that won’t survive another monsoon season.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Whitney
Paver Driveways
Paver driveway installation in Whitney runs $7,000-$18,000 for a typical two-car approach. We use Belgard and other verified partners for materials that handle our 110°F summers without color fade or joint failure. The real work is below grade. Whitney’s caliche hardpan demands mechanical breaking for proper base depth - standard digging won’t cut it. We jackhammer to 6-8 inches, compact in lifts, and verify no post-tension cables run through the excavation path before we touch a paver. Clark County inspectors see this done wrong all the time by crews who think they’re still in Las Vegas city limits.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Whitney costs $4,500-$12,000. We pour early morning, pre-dawn when possible. Summer highs here crack 110°F by 10 a.m., and flash-curing destroys surface integrity. We’ve learned the hard way - along with every other experienced crew in the valley - that midday pours in July create spider-web cracking before the forms even come off. Our concrete work includes proper control joint spacing for Whitney’s expansive soil movement, and we never pour over an unverified post-tension slab without cable locates.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway paving in Whitney ranges $3,500-$9,000 for new installation, with resurfacing typically landing in the lower half of that band. The original asphalt aprons on many 89122 homes are 20-30 years past service life, oxidized and alligatored from UV exposure. We remove failed sections, address base instability from caliche heave, and lay new material at the correct temperature window. Asphalt doesn’t forgive hot-weather compaction mistakes the way pavers or concrete might.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Whitney runs $5,000-$14,000 depending on scope and material. Repair work starts lower. We see a lot of slab-edge cracking in this area - decades of caliche soil movement working against original pours that weren’t built with today’s expansion joint standards. Sometimes we can section-repair. Sometimes the whole approach is shot and replacement is the only honest recommendation. We’ll tell you which, with upfront pricing, no surprises.

Trusted Brands We Service in Whitney
We stock Sakrete concrete mixes and Belgard paver systems for Whitney jobs, with access to additional lines through our partner network. Having materials staged locally means we’re not waiting on delivery trucks from out of state while your excavation sits open. For paver driveways, Belgard’s permeable and interlocking systems handle our intense UV and occasional flash-flooding better than budget alternatives. We specify what works for this climate, not what moves fastest through a distributor’s warehouse.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Whitney Homes
- Paver base too shallow for caliche conditions. Whitney’s expansive desert soils shift during hot, dry summer months. A 4-inch base might pass in other markets. Here, it leads to settling, lippage, and joint failure within two years. We spec deeper base with geotextile separation and mechanical compaction in lifts.
- No post-tension cable scan before demo. This is the big one. Out-of-market crews skip the scan. They hit a tensioned cable. The slab loses structural integrity. Clark County red-tags the job. We scan every time we cut deeper than 2 inches on a Whitney slab - no exceptions, no shortcuts.
- Midday concrete pours in July and August. We’ve replaced driveways where the original contractor poured at 2 p.m. in 112°F heat. The surface cured before it set, creating a chalky, cracked mess. We schedule Whitney concrete work for first light, with evaporation retarders and proper curing compounds.
- Original 1980s driveways failing from decades of UV and thermal cycling. Those thin 3.5-4 inch concrete pours with minimal reinforcement weren’t designed for 40+ years of 110°F summers. They’re crumbling at the edges, spalling at the joints, and sinking where caliche has heaved underneath.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Whitney
Yes, and Clark County issues it - not the City of Las Vegas. Whitney is unincorporated Clark County, a jurisdictional detail that confuses contractors who mainly work inside city limits. We file with the county building department, coordinate inspections on their schedule, and make sure your paver base depth and drainage meet county code. Call (855) 951-4361 and we’ll walk you through the permit timeline for your specific project.
Decades of caliche soil movement beneath Whitney’s post-tension slabs, combined with original pours that were thin by modern standards, cause the cracking and settling we see throughout 89122. Summer thermal expansion and contraction open hairline cracks wider each year. Water infiltration during rare heavy rains washes fines from beneath the slab, creating voids that become sinkholes. We assess whether stabilization, section repair, or full replacement is the honest fix.
Yes, with strict scheduling. We pour pre-dawn or early morning to avoid flash-curing in 110°F+ heat. Midday summer pours in Whitney risk surface cracking, reduced strength, and premature failure. We use evaporation retarders, proper curing compounds, and schedule around the thermal window. If your project timeline demands summer work, we’ll make it happen - safely and correctly.
Absolutely, if installed properly. Pavers don’t attach to the slab - they float on a compacted aggregate base above it. The critical step is verifying cable locations before any excavation or demolition that cuts deeper than the riser. We’ve seen catastrophic failures when crews skip this scan. We don’t. Your slab stays intact. Your driveway stays beautiful. Call (855) 951-4361 for specifics on your home’s slab construction.
Concrete is lower initial cost, faster to install, and performs well with proper jointing and curing. Pavers cost more upfront but allow modular repair - individual stones can be lifted and re-laid if settling occurs, without tearing out the whole driveway. For Whitney’s caliche soils and aging infrastructure, pavers offer long-term serviceability that concrete can’t match. We’ll show you both options with honest numbers so you choose based on your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home.
