CGI Driveway & Pavers: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
We stock and install CGI-compatible driveway and paver components throughout Woodland Hills, with most parts matched to your existing layout and installed for $250 to $1,800 depending on the scope. If a section of your CGI driveway has shifted, cracked, or started separating at the joints, that’s the part most owners notice first. The typical discovery is a paver that rocks underfoot after a rain or an edge piece that’s drifted out of line. We’ll come out, identify the exact CGI paver style and size, and give you a written price before any work starts.
Key Takeaways:
- CGI pavers and driveway components run $250 to $1,800 installed in Woodland Hills for most repairs and replacements.
- We bring common CGI paver profiles and joint sand on the truck for same-visit repairs.
- Written price before work begins, every time. No surprises on the final invoice.
- Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills is an independent service provider, not affiliated with CGI.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI produces concrete pavers and driveway systems in a few distinct lines, and matching the replacement piece matters more than most homeowners expect. The two details that trip people up: paver thickness varies between pedestrian and vehicular applications, and color lots shift over time even within the same product name. A paver labeled “charcoal” from a 2018 production run will not match a 2024 run perfectly, which is why we always pull measurements and take photos of your existing pieces before ordering. Most CGI driveway pavers run 60mm or 80mm thick for vehicle traffic, while walkway pieces run 40mm to 50mm. If you’re replacing a section, we match thickness first, then color as closely as the current lot allows. We also work with quality aftermarket equivalents when OEM lead times stretch past what’s reasonable, and we’ll tell you plainly which one we’re quoting.

Signs Your CGI Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Rocking or wobbling pavers. This usually means the bedding sand has washed out from underneath, often after Woodland Hills’ winter rains push water through the joints. The paver itself is usually fine, but the base needs to be re-leveled.
- Joint sand disappearing between pavers. If you see gaps forming and sand collecting in your garage or along the driveway edge, the joint stabilization is failing. Left alone, the pavers start shifting and the problem spreads.
- Edge pavers drifting outward. The edge restraint, typically a plastic or concrete strip, has failed or was never installed properly. Without it, the whole field of pavers slowly works its way outward under vehicle loads.
- Cracks or spalling on individual pavers. CGI concrete pavers can crack from impact or freeze-thaw cycling if the concrete absorbed too much moisture. In Woodland Hills’ climate, UV exposure also fades surface color and makes older pavers brittle at the edges.
- Water pooling in low spots. This points to a base failure underneath, not the pavers themselves. The subgrade has likely settled or eroded, and patching the surface without fixing the base means you’ll be back here in a year.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a CGI driveway or paver repair in Woodland Hills, you’re typically looking at $250 to $700 for sealing and joint sand replacement, and $500 to $1,800 for section replacement that includes pulling damaged pavers, re-grading the base, and reinstalling with fresh bedding and joint material. If the failure is in the base and spans a large area, the work starts to overlap with a full paver driveway installation, which runs $7,000 to $18,000 in this market. Every quote includes the parts, labor, haul-away of old material, and a written warranty on the work. We price the job in writing before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless we both agree to add scope in writing.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check the basics: look for washed-out joint sand, check whether edge restraints are visible or buried under sod, and note where water pools after rain. What you shouldn’t do is pull up a section of pavers and try to re-bed them without knowing what’s underneath. A driveway base in Woodland Hills has to handle clay-heavy soils that expand and contract through wet-dry cycles, and if you get the base wrong, the repair fails quickly and you’ve spent a weekend earning a redo. For anything beyond sweeping fresh sand into dry joints, call us. One of our team members will come out with a name and photo shared beforehand, in a clean uniform, and explain exactly what’s failing and what it takes to fix it.
FAQs

A properly installed CGI driveway paver system lasts 25 to 40 years in this climate, though the surface color typically fades noticeably after the first decade of direct sun exposure. The base and bedding layer usually fail before the concrete paver itself does.
Small surface chips and hairline cracks can be patched with a concrete repair compound, but if the paver is cracked through its full thickness or has moved out of plane, replacement is the honest fix. A patched full-depth crack will re-crack under vehicle weight, usually within a season. Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll give you a straight answer on which route makes sense.
A typical section replacement of 20 to 40 square feet takes one day, including removing the damaged pieces, re-grading the base, reinstalling, and sweeping in fresh joint sand. We won’t schedule the job until the parts are physically in hand, so there’s no gap between demolition and repair.
We keep common CGI paver profiles and joint sand on the truck for same-visit repairs, and we can source most other sizes within a few business days. We’ll confirm availability before you’re quoted a start date. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate on your specific paver size and color.
