CGI Driveway & Pavers Nationwide

CGI Driveway & Pavers: The Campbell Owner’s Guide

We stock and install CGI-compatible driveway pavers and retaining-wall systems in Campbell, with typical installed paver driveway projects running $7,000-$18,000 and concrete driveway installations at $4,500-$12,000 depending on substrate condition and square footage. Most CGI paver repairs and section replacements can be quoted same-day and scheduled within 48 hours. Campbell homeowners usually discover a CGI paver issue when settling creates visible dips after winter rains, edge restraints pull away from the garage apron, or polymeric sand washes out from between Holland Stone or Mega-Lafitt units - leaving the base exposed and weeds pushing through in a matter of weeks.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI’s driveway and hardscape catalog breaks into three series that we see regularly in Campbell: the Holland Stone line (standard 4×8 and 8×8 units, 2⅜-inch thickness), the Mega-Lafitt and Lafitt Rustic Slab collections (larger-format, 2-inch or 2¾-inch thickness with textured faces), and the Celtik Wall retaining systems used for raised planter beds and driveway-border applications. The part you need depends on the series stamped on the unit edge, plus the vintage - CGI updated its edge restraint profile around 2018, so pre-2018 installations often use a narrower 1.5-inch aluminum edging that is now discontinued. OEM CGI units match color lots from the original run; aftermarket equivalents from Belgard or Techo-Bloc can match dimensionally but rarely blend seamlessly on weathered installs older than three years. We carry CGI-compatible edge restraints, geotextile fabric, and Class II base rock on our trucks, and we source matching units directly from CGI’s West Coast distribution in San Jose when color continuity matters. Rowan Construction Group Campbell is an independent service provider, not affiliated with CGI.

Signs Your CGI Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

• Visible settlement or dipping between pavers. The compacted Class II base has eroded or was insufficiently compacted during original install, often accelerated by Campbell’s clay-heavy soil in the Pruneyard and Westmont neighborhoods where drainage patterns shift seasonally.
• Edge restraints pulling away from the perimeter. Spikes have corroded or the restraint channel has deformed from vehicle loading at the garage transition, which is the highest-stress point on any paver driveway.
• Polymeric sand washing out and weed growth between joints. The sand bond has failed due to premature water exposure during cure or application below 50°F, leaving voids that collect organic debris and allow root penetration.
• Chipping or spalling on Mega-Lafitt textured faces. These larger-format units are more susceptible to impact damage from trailer jacks, motorcycle stands, or metal-edged snow shovels - a surface failure that exposes the aggregate core.
• Retaining wall units tilting or bulging outward. The gravel drainage column behind a CGI Celtik Wall has clogged with native soil, hydrostatic pressure is building, and the setback angle of the unit interlock is being overcome.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For Campbell properties, our CGI paver work is priced by scope, not by mystery. Paver driveway installation runs $7,000-$18,000; concrete driveway installation is $4,500-$12,000; driveway replacement (remove and reinstall) is $5,000-$14,000; and section repairs or edge restraint replacement typically fall between $1,200-$3,800 depending on linear feet affected and base remediation required. Every quote is a flat written price delivered before work starts, under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard - no verbal estimates, no “we’ll see once we open it up.” The price includes removal of failed material, base re-compaction with plate vibrator, geotextile replacement where drainage has failed, new edge restraint with hot-dipped galvanized spikes, polymeric sand application with proper cure-time protection, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on workmanship. We also provide a documented photo record of substrate condition before and after, included as standard.

DIY or Call Us?

A homeowner can safely assess surface damage, measure settlement depth with a straightedge, and check for loose edge restraint by hand - but the actual repair crosses into trade work quickly. Base compaction requires a plate vibrator and moisture-conditioned aggregate in 6-inch lifts; polymeric sand demands a completely dry surface, 48-hour cure without water contact, and a plate compactor with neoprene pad to avoid surface damage. We’ve seen three DIY attempts in Campbell this year alone where the sand was rained on four hours after application, locking in a hazy white residue that required full removal. For retaining walls, the drainage column behind the face is load-bearing to the structural stability; disturbing it without understanding the setback geometry risks collapse. Call (831) 704-1211 and we’ll scope it, price it in writing, and schedule it - usually within two business days.
