What does a paver driveway cost in Osprey?
About $14 to $22 per square foot installed, so a 700-square-foot two-car driveway in Rivendell runs roughly $9,800 to $15,400 plus demolition and the apron under a county right-of-way use permit; an Oaks motor court of 1,500 square feet runs $21,000 to $33,000. Bayfront lots add the 18-month sealing cycle.

What's different about driveways in Osprey & Casey Key
Osprey driveways range from 1980s and 90s builder slabs in Rivendell, Willowbend and Park Trace that get replaced with herringbone concrete pavers in ARC-approved blends, to motor courts and circular drives in The Oaks that use large-format or tumbled pavers with contrasting bands. The ground is Myakka fine sand with a shallow water table toward the bay: 6 inches of base in lifts, geotextile, a concrete curb at the street. Bay Street and Southbay lots see spray and seal every 18 to 24 months.
Casey Key driveways are short, on fill, and built with the deck to the same salt rules.
Rules that apply here
County right-of-way use permit for the apron and flatwork review (rules); The Oaks, Rivendell, Willowbend, Park Trace and Southbay ARC review; 50 percent impervious cap on RSF lots.
A worked example
A 1992 Rivendell home with a 680-square-foot builder driveway settled at the garage. Scope: demolition, garage strip compacted, 6 inches of base in three lifts over geotextile, herringbone field in an approved gray-tan blend with a charcoal soldier course, poured curb where the field meets the street, apron in pavers under the county ROW permit, sprinkler heads redirected, polymeric sand, sealing at 30 days. ARC approval two weeks. Planning range: $10,500 to $14,500.
Does The Oaks limit driveway materials?
The community reviews material, color and layout for anything visible from the street, and motor courts are reviewed as site changes; approved blends are common, dark fields are not. Bring the current guideline to the estimate.
