Belgard Construction in Hollywood, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
We provide independent Belgard installation and repair across Hollywood, from paver driveways in Hollywood Lakes to pool decks near the Intracoastal. The difference here comes down to salt air, sandy soil, and a historic board that cares about what your hardscape looks like from the street. If your Belgard pavers are sinking, blooming white, or need a new patio altogether, call (754) 551-2922 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Belgard Service
Trevor Nash has been running crews across South Florida for the better part of two decades, and he’s pulled up enough failed paver bases in Hollywood to know exactly what goes wrong under this specific soil. We’re not a manufacturer hotline and we’re not a landscaper who dabbles in pavers. We’re a remodeling contractor that handles Belgard sales & service as part of full exterior and hardscape work, which means we understand how the patio ties into the house, the drainage, and the hurricane strap holding your roof on.
Every technician who walks onto a Hollywood job is background-checked and in uniform. You get a written price before we pull a single paver, plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s how we’ve operated since 2004.

Common Belgard Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Efflorescence and salt bloom near the Intracoastal. White chalky residue forms when salt-laden moisture wicks through pavers and evaporates on the surface. Homes east of Federal Highway and along Hollywood’s canals see this constantly. We clean it properly and apply a breathable sealer rated for coastal exposure, never a film-forming coating that traps moisture beneath the paver.
- Paver settling and heaving over sandy, shifting soil. Hollywood sits on sand and limestone, not stable clay. A driveway installed with a 2-inch base instead of a compacted 6- to 8-inch base will sink within two rainy seasons. We excavate, recompact with proper crushed rock, and lay geotextile fabric where the subgrade is soft, especially in lakefront neighborhoods where the water table stays high.
- Spalling and surface pitting from bad sealing or over-pressure washing. Hollywood’s sun is brutal on sealed concrete. A homeowner with a 3,500 PSI pressure washer and a narrow tip can etch Belgard pavers in an afternoon. We repair by replacing damaged units with matching OEM pavers and resealing with a product suited to South Florida’s UV index.
- Weed and ant intrusion in paver joints. Warm temperatures and daily summer rain mean organic matter gets into every joint. Ants excavate the bedding sand and create voids. In older Hollywood neighborhoods with mature landscaping and irrigation overspray, this happens within months. We remove the contaminated sand and reinstall with polymeric sand that hardens into a weed- and ant-resistant barrier.
- Drainage failures under existing hardscape. We’ve seen collapsed cast-iron downspout lines and old French drains that send water under pavers rather than away from them. That water moves sand out from the base, and the pavers follow. Fixing the drainage is step one; replacing or recompacting the base is step two. Skipping step one guarantees the problem returns.
Belgard Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most installers from Broward County won’t tell you: Hollywood’s Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior hardscape on designated 1920s-era homes in Hollywood Lakes, and they care about materials, patterns, and finishes. If your home sits inside a historic district, you can’t slap down any modern paver and call it a day. The board wants materials sympathetic to the original design, which often means Belgard’s tumbled or antiqued lines like Dublin Cobble rather than a smooth, contemporary finish. We’ve worked with the board’s requirements before, and we’ll tell you at the estimate whether your project needs their review and what that means for your timeline and material choices. That’s not true five miles west in Davie or Cooper City, and it’s why generic Belgard advice doesn’t always translate to Hollywood’s streets.
Belgard Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We install and repair the Belgard lines most common across Hollywood’s driveways, walkways, and pool decks: Catalina Slate for large-format modern patios, Dublin Cobble for tumbled, old-Florida aesthetics that suit Hollywood Lakes homes, Mega-Arbel for driveways that need a higher compressive strength under car and truck traffic, and Weston Wall block for seat walls, planters, and low retaining walls. When we need to match an existing installation, we use OEM Belgard pavers, wall blocks, and edging, because color blends and dimensions vary by manufacturing lot. Mixing an aftermarket paver into a ten-year-old Dublin Cobble driveway looks like a patch job, and we won’t do that to your home.

AfterBelgard Service Pricing in Hollywood
Here are the numbers we give homeowners in Hollywood, and they’re the same numbers you’ll see on our written estimate:

| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |
What moves the price? Base depth, total square footage, whether we’re removing old concrete or failing pavers first, and whether the Historic Preservation Board needs to sign off. A straight driveway replacement on stable soil runs lower; a Hollywood Bathroom Remodeling or pool deck with drainage corrections and a retaining wall runs higher.

FAQs – Belgard Construction in Hollywood
Yes. Pavers east of Federal Highway and along the Intracoastal should be sealed with a breathable, penetrating sealer rated for salt exposure, not a glossy film sealer that traps moisture and causes spalling. We recommend resealing every two to three years for coastal Hollywood homes. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll specify the right sealer for your exposure level.
Yes. Belgard Mega-Arbel and other permeable or high-compressive-strength pavers are approved for driveway use in Miami-Dade and Broward when installed on a compacted base that meets code for wind and water loads. The key is the base and edge restraint, not just the paver itself. We install to Miami-Dade standards on every Hollywood driveway.
You have the lot number from the original installation if the prior contractor left it, and you match that. Most of the time, you don’t have the lot number, so we pull a sample and compare against current Belgard production lots. Color blends shift over years of UV exposure, so an exact match is rare on older patios; we’ll tell you honestly whether a tight match is achievable or whether a purposeful border or transition makes more sense. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll bring sample boards to your home.
Sinking in one corner usually means water is moving under that section and washing out the bedding sand, or the original base wasn’t compacted properly at that spot. In Hollywood, we also see collapsed cast-iron drainage lines under older driveways in Hollywood Lakes causing localized erosion. The fix is to remove the pavers, repair the drainage, recompact the base, and reinstall. Patching the surface alone won’t hold. Call (754) 551-2922 for an inspection and a written repair scope.
Yes, if your home is in a designated historic district like parts of Hollywood Lakes. The board can require materials and patterns sympathetic to the home’s original era, and that often rules out smooth, modern paver finishes. We’ll check the district map for your address and tell you what’s required before you spend money on materials. Call (754) 551-2922 with your address and we’ll confirm what applies to your property.
