ES Windows Driveway & Pavers: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If you’re dealing with a failed ES Windows driveway or paver installation in Woodland Hills, the typical fix runs between $3,500 and $18,000 depending on whether we’re repairing a section of interlocking pavers or replacing the full driveway surface. Most paver jobs in Woodland Hills take two to five days once materials arrive, and we carry the common pavers, edge restraints, and joint sand on our trucks for same-week scheduling. The way homeowners usually discover the problem is a sunken corner near the garage apron, a paver that cracked and shifted after a wet winter, or drainage water pooling against the home’s foundation where the driveway meets the exterior wall.
Which ES Windows Models This Applies To
ES Windows doesn’t manufacture driveway pavers or paver systems as a product line, but the term comes up often in Woodland Hills when homeowners have ES Windows installed in a home that also has a paver driveway, walkway, or patio. Our team works on the paver surfaces that surround and integrate with those window installations, especially where exterior grading, window wells, or drainage paths meet the driveway edge. The compatibility question is really about paver type: concrete interlocking pavers (Belgard, Unilock, Techo-Bloc), clay brick pavers, or natural stone. We match by measuring the existing paver dimensions, typically 60mm or 80mm thickness for driveways, and identifying the brand stamp on the underside of any loose paver. OEM versus aftermarket matters less for pavers than for mechanical parts, but we source from the same professional-grade manufacturers so the color blend and dimensional tolerance match what’s already on the ground rather than looking patched. One gotcha we see in Woodland Hills: homes built before 1990 often used 60mm pavers on driveways, which are too thin for today’s vehicle weights. Any new driveway section should be 80mm minimum.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your ES Windows Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Water pooling near the foundation or window wells. The base layer under the pavers has eroded or settled, letting water run toward the house instead of away. This can damage exterior window trim and sills over time.
- Sunken or tilted pavers near the garage apron. Repeated vehicle weight over a weak base compacts unevenly. You’ll see a dip where the car sits every night, and pavers start to rock underfoot.
- Weeds or ants pushing up through the joints. Joint sand has washed out and organic material has taken its place. The pavers aren’t locked together anymore, so edges chip and crack.
- Crumbling or cracked paver surface after rain. Woodland Hills gets intense downpours in winter, and trapped moisture expands through freeze-thaw cycles in the paver itself. Spalling looks like flaking skin on top of the paver.
- Visible gaps widening between the driveway and the house slab. The sand base has settled, and the driveway is pulling away from the foundation over time. This creates a trip hazard and lets water channel down along the structure.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
Paver driveway installation in Woodland Hills runs $7,000 to $18,000 for a full replacement. Paver patio work lands between $3,500 and $11,000. Driveway sealing sits at $250 to $700. If you’re looking at a full driveway replacement rather than pavers, concrete runs $4,500 to $12,000 and a complete tear-out and re-pour is $5,000 to $14,000. What drives the range: square footage, accessibility for excavation equipment, whether we’re hauling away the old surface, how deep the base must be rebuilt, and the paver brand you select. Every quote includes the base material prep, edge restraints, pavers, joint sand, compaction, and cleanup. You get the written price before any work starts, and the workmanship is covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails within a year of completion, we return and fix it at no charge.

You can safely lift a loose paver, check the condition of the sand bed, and sweep new joint sand into a small area. What you should not do is begin regrading a sunken driveway section or rebuilding the base without knowing what’s underneath. In Woodland Hills, much of the soil is expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. A DIY fix that skips proper base compaction will fail within two seasons. If the problem is more than a few square feet, or the drainage route needs to be reworked so water runs away from your ES Windows wall lines, call us at (831) 290-6866 and we’ll send someone who knows exactly what to look for.
FAQs
A properly installed paver driveway with an 80mm paver and a compacted base lasts 25 to 30 years in our climate. The pavers themselves rarely fail first. What fails is the base when water gets under it or the edge restraints loosen, which is why we rebuild the base rather than just relaying pavers.
If you’re seeing early failure, call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll assess whether a repair or a rebuild makes more sense for your budget.
Yes, in most cases we can lift the affected section, add and compact new base material, and relay the same pavers. This is usually a $1,200 to $3,500 repair depending on the square footage and how far the settlement extends. If more than a third of the driveway is involved, replacement often costs less per square foot than repeated spot repairs.
Most Woodland Hills paver driveway replacements take two to five working days from start to finish. Weather can add a day here or there during winter rain, but we don’t rush the compaction step. You’ll have a written schedule before work begins.
We stock common 80mm concrete pavers in standard gray and tan, edge restraints, and joint sand on our trucks. For specific brands like Belgard or Techo-Bloc, or custom color matches, we order directly from the manufacturer and typically have materials in hand within five to seven business days.
