As reported over the last few months, our community will have all its roads paved with 1 3/4″ of asphalt starting in late September, early October 2024. How and when the project timeline will affect your street will be based solely on Charlotte County’s awarded contractor’s schedule. Specifically, for homeowners with paver drives, you will have TWO (2) options:
1. You may do nothing, and a certain percentage of your driveway entry pavers will be paved over with asphalt.
2. A paver company, based on your driveway grade, will remove and set aside a predetermined number of pavers to accommodate the new asphalt. To be more specific, the first two rows will be pulled and set aside before the paving begins. After the paving of your road is complete, the paving company will return and pull up the necessary pavers to grade your driveway properly and put them all back in place. How far back depends on the slope/grade of your driveway, which would be outlined in your estimate from the Contractor as “Option 1”.
If the pavers removed cannot be used to finish the job properly, e.g., some original pavers were damaged/chipped on initial install or over time with wear and tear, or some of the pavers removed were stolen and you have no additional pavers to replace them, you will need to select and purchase a new border paver to complete the job. It will be your choice as to how you proceed, which would be outlined in your estimate from the Contractor as “Option 2”, at a different cost.
A resident contacted numerous paving companies and found a paver company who seems willing and equipped to assess and provide estimates to have this particular work done. Again, keep in mind each drive will be different and you, as the homeowner, will have your own project. This contractor (below) will make every attempt to coordinate with the County’s paving contractor to ensure all the work will be completed in a timely manner. Please look at their website which also reflects many positive Google reviews:

Our recommendation is to be proactive and make your estimate appointments as soon as possible. This Contractor would like to establish a day and dates to provide several estimates at one time.

To be clear, Burnt Store Lakes POA is not assuming any responsibility for the contractor offered herein, nor are you obligated to use them. To reiterate, Platinum Pavers of SWFL will work with each homeowner independently in negotiating their own arrangements.
