Paver Driveway Installation in McLean, VA

Paver and permeable paver driveways in McLean, built on a compacted base and backed by a 15-year no-settlement warranty.

A paver driveway is a long-term choice, and in McLean it often goes with a house where the front of the property matters. Pavers only stay flat when the base under them does not move, so that is where most of our work goes. We use only paver brands that carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty, and every paver install comes with Summit's 15-year no-settlement warranty.

McLean is Fairfax County

McLean has no town government. It is part of unincorporated Fairfax County, so county rules apply and most streets are state-maintained. A new or reshaped apron on a state road needs a VDOT land use permit through the Fairfax and Arlington permit section.

Fairfax County's Zoning Ordinance also limits how much of the front yard can be surfaced for parking on many smaller single-family lots. If you are widening the driveway or adding a parking court, we check that rule against your lot before we design.

Streams, slopes, and permeable pavers

Parts of McLean drain to Potomac tributaries such as Pimmit Run and Scotts Run, and land beside streams can fall in a Resource Protection Area under the county's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance. Disturbance there needs approval from Land Development Services.

Away from the buffers, permeable pavers are a practical choice on sloped lots: rain soaks into open-graded stone under the driveway instead of running down it. We look at the county's RPA map for your address before recommending one system over another.

Choosing the paver and the pattern

You pick the paver, color, and pattern. Herringbone holds up best under turning tires, and borders or banding can tie the driveway to the walkway or the brick of the house. We bring samples to the estimate so you can see them against your own house. If your neighborhood has an HOA, the design may need architectural review. We provide the drawings and material specifications the application asks for.

What does a paver driveway cost?

Pavers cost more than asphalt or concrete up front and last longer with less upkeep. What moves the price:

  • Size of the driveway
  • Paver type, color, and pattern (herringbone takes more cutting)
  • Standard or permeable system
  • Removing the old driveway and rebuilding the base
  • Borders, banding, and curves
  • Drainage and grading

Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

    We had an asphalt driveway and a concrete walkway. We wanted to upgrade both and went with permeable pavers. We're glad we did.

Paver Driveways in McLean: common questions

Do I need county approval for a paver driveway in McLean?

Sometimes. A new or wider apron on a state road needs a VDOT land use permit. A larger front parking area can run into the county's yard coverage limits, and work near a stream may need Land Development Services review. We check each of these for your lot before quoting.

Are permeable pavers worth it in McLean?

Often, yes, on sloped lots or where runoff already causes trouble. Water passes through the joints into an open-graded stone base instead of running across the driveway. They cost more to build than standard pavers. We explain both options at the estimate.

What does a paver driveway cost in McLean?

It depends on size, the paver and pattern, standard or permeable construction, removing the old driveway, borders and curves, and drainage work. Summit has not published prices because every lot is different. Joseph prices the job after seeing it, and the estimate is free.

What warranty comes with a McLean paver driveway?

Three layers. Summit's 15-year no-settlement warranty on the installation, our 5-year workmanship warranty on the whole job, and the paver manufacturer's lifetime warranty, since we only install brands that carry one.
