Built for the Long Approach
A driveway that runs a few hundred feet takes more planning than a standard slab, especially if it carries a truck or trailer. We size the base and edge restraint for the load, not just the length.

Paver installation in Mims
Pavers in Mims, built like they're staying.
Mims runs rural — long driveway approaches, big open yards, properties that back up to pasture or grove instead of a neighbor's fence. That changes the math on a paver job: more square footage, longer runs, and often a driveway that has to handle a truck or trailer, not just a sedan. We measure the whole approach before we quote anything, because a long driveway with the wrong base underneath is a long driveway that fails the same way, just with more of it to fix.
On acreage jobs, drainage comes first — we look at where the water actually goes across a long approach before we set base, because a driveway that ponds at one low spot will undermine itself there eventually. Base goes down compacted in lifts, same as any job, just more of it. Bedding sand stays at about an inch under the pavers — no more, regardless of how much ground we're covering. Edge restraint anchors into the base along the full run, not just at the ends.
What that looks like here
Mims work, specifically.
Drainage Across Open Ground
On acreage, water has more room to run and more places to pool. We check the grade along the whole approach before setting base so it doesn't undermine itself at a low point.
Edge Restraint Anchored to Base
On long runs, edge restraint gets fastened into the compacted base the entire way, not just at the driveway's ends. That's what keeps the field from spreading over time under wide open exposure.
By the numbers
Mims homes, by the numbers.
The Brevard County tax roll counts 3,689 single-family homes in Mims. The typical one was built in 1991, and about 60% were built before 2000.
529 homes here were built in 2020 or later, 40 of them in 2025, so a lot of the driveways and patios here are brand new.

Local questions
Mims questions.
My driveway is a few hundred feet long — does that change how you price and build it?
Yes, a long approach means more base material, more compaction passes, and more time on-site, so we measure the whole run before quoting rather than estimating off a typical suburban driveway. We'll also ask what it needs to carry — car traffic only, or trucks and trailers too.
Will a paver driveway hold up to a truck or trailer coming up the property?
It can, but we need to know that up front so we build the base to handle that load, not just car traffic. Tell us what regularly comes up your approach — trucks, equipment, horse trailers — and we'll size the base accordingly.
There's no HOA out here — does that mean less paperwork?
Depends on the property — some parcels carry restrictions, some don't. We'll tell you plainly what your specific job needs and who's responsible for pulling it; the permits and HOA page has more detail.
