ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers: The Orlando Owner’s Guide
If you have an ECO Window Systems driveway or paver installation in Orlando and a section has failed, cracked, or started shifting, we stock compatible replacement pavers and can typically match your existing layout within one to two weeks of your call. Installed paver driveway replacement in Orlando runs $7,000 to $18,000 for a full driveway, while smaller paver patio repairs and replacements fall between $3,500 and $11,000 depending on square footage. Most Orlando homeowners discover the problem after a heavy summer downpour, when water pools in a sunken section, or when a paver cracks under the weight of a vehicle and the edge starts to crumble.
We’re an independent Orlando contractor, not a factory branch of ECO Window Systems, which means we can source both OEM pavers and quality aftermarket equivalents without being tied to one supplier’s lead time. The short version: if you can send us a photo and a measurement of the failed paver, we’ll tell you over the phone whether it’s a standard size we keep in stock or a special order. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll walk through it with you.
Key takeaways:
- Paver driveway replacement in Orlando: $7,000 – $18,000 installed
- Paver patio repair or replacement: $3,500 – $11,000 installed
- We match existing ECO Window Systems pavers by size, color, and edge profile
- Written price before any work starts, on every job
- 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right within a year, we make it right at no cost
Which ECO Window Systems Models This Applies To
ECO Window Systems pavers come in a few distinct lines, and the compatibility gotcha Orlando homeowners run into is this: a paver that looks identical from five feet away may be a different thickness or have a different edge profile once you set it next to the old one. The two most common ECO Window Systems paver formats are 60mm for pedestrian patios and walkways, and 80mm for driveways that carry vehicle weight. Using a 60mm paver in a driveway is a failure waiting to happen, and we’ve seen it more than once in Orlando subdivisions where a previous contractor cut the corner.
To identify what you have, flip over a loose paver if one is available. ECO Window Systems molds their name and the manufacturing batch code into the underside of most lines. If the paver is mortared in place or you can’t get one up without risking more damage, take a straight-on photo of the top surface and a close-up of the edge profile, and text it to us. The color name matters more than you’d think too: ECO Window Systems runs several gray and tan blends that shift slightly between production runs, and we’d rather order from the current batch than install a close-but-not-quite match across the middle of your driveway.
For the OEM-versus-aftermarket call: OEM ECO Window Systems pavers are the safest match for color and dimension, but lead times can stretch to three or four weeks in Florida. A quality aftermarket equivalent from Belgard or Unilock often ships faster and holds up just as well in Orlando’s heat and rain, but the color match needs a trained eye. We carry both options and will show you samples side by side before any order is placed.

Signs Your ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Sunken or depressed section near the driveway edge. This is almost always a base failure, not a paver failure. Orlando’s sandy soil shifts after heavy rain, and if the original installer skimped on the compacted base, the pavers drop with it. The fix is pulling the section, rebuilding the base, and relaying the pavers, not just adding sand on top.
- Cracked paver under the vehicle path. A single cracked paver in the wheel track usually means the base settled unevenly and the paver took the full weight of the vehicle. Once one cracks, the adjacent pavers start to move because the interlock is broken.
- Wide or widening joints between pavers. Polymeric sand washes out over time in Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms. When the joints open up, weeds take root, and the whole field starts to wander. Re-sanding is cheap; ignoring it for two years is not.
- Edge pavers separating from the border or curb. Driveway edges take lateral pressure every time a tire rides the edge. Without a proper edge restraint, the outer pavers push outward and leave a gap that grows. Most failed Orlando paver driveways we see started at the edge.
- Standing water that sits for more than an hour after rain. A properly pitched paver driveway drains within minutes. If water ponds, the slope has been lost to settling, and the low spot will only get worse as the base absorbs more water.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Orlando, a full paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 to $18,000. Paver patio work runs $3,500 to $11,000. If you’re just dealing with a section repair, not a full replacement, the math changes: most section lifts and relay jobs fall between $1,200 and $4,000 depending on square footage, base condition, and whether we need to haul in new crushed concrete base material.
What drives the range is square footage, the paver line you’re matching, whether the existing base can be salvaged, and site access. A driveway we can reach with a skid steer costs less than a backyard patio we have to wheel material to by hand. Every quote we write in Orlando includes the full scope line by line: demolition and haul-off of failed pavers, base prep, paver material, edge restraint, polymeric sand, and final compaction. No verbal estimate that grows on the final bill. The written price is the price. We cover the work under our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not right within a year of completion, we fix it at no charge.

DIY or Call Us?
There are two things an Orlando homeowner can safely check without calling us. First, look at the joints. If the pavers are solid and the sand between them is simply low, you can sweep in fresh polymeric sand yourself, mist it with water, and buy yourself a season. Second, check the edges. If an edge paver has shifted outward but the base underneath is still firm, it can sometimes be tapped back into place with a rubber mallet and re-sanded.
Where DIY goes wrong is base work. If your driveway section has sunk, no amount of sand, shims, or paver-leveling compound will fix it. The pavers have to come up, the old base has to be excavated and replaced with compacted crushed concrete, and the pavers have to be relaid with proper edge restraint. That’s not a weekend project; that’s a skid steer, a plate compactor, and a crew that has done it a few hundred times. It’s also how Orlando driveways end up worse than they started, when a homeowner lifts a section, fills it with bagged gravel from the big-box store, and watches it sink again in the first rainy season. If you’re not sure, call (850) 920-7745 and describe what you’re seeing. Tell me what the problem is. We’ll figure out the rest from there.
FAQs
A properly installed ECO Window Systems paver driveway in Orlando lasts 20 to 30 years, with the base doing most of the work. What shortens that lifespan here is water: Orlando’s heavy afternoon rains saturate the soil under the base, and if the base wasn’t compacted and drained correctly, pavers start moving within the first five to seven years. The pavers themselves rarely wear out; the installation below them fails first. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your problem is the pavers or the base.
Yes, if the failure is isolated to a few cracked or chipped pavers and the base underneath is still sound, we can lift and replace individual pavers in a few hours. If the surrounding section has also settled or the cracks form a pattern across the wheel path, a section repair is the better call. The price difference is significant: individual paver replacement typically runs a few hundred dollars, while a section relay starts around $1,200 in Orlando. We’ll scope it for you before any work is scheduled.
Most section repairs on Orlando paver driveways take one to two days: day one for demo, base excavation, and compaction, day two for paver relay, sanding, and final compaction. Full driveway replacements typically run three to five working days depending on square footage and access. Weather matters here too: we don’t pour or compact in standing water, and Orlando’s summer storms can push a schedule by a day.
We keep common 60mm and 80mm paver sizes in stock at our Orlando yard, including the most-used ECO Window Systems color blends, so we can often start a section repair within a week of your call. Unusual colors or a discontinued batch will be a special order, which typically lands in two to four weeks. If you send us a photo and the underside batch code, we can tell you on the first call whether it’s a stock item or a special order. Call (850) 920-7745 with a photo ready and we’ll take it from there.
