About Groundworks Pavers & Turf

Who they are

Groundworks Pavers & Turf is Owen Letzinger's company, based in Brevard County and working from Titusville down to Palm Bay and out to the beaches. The company describes itself as small enough that the person who quotes a job stays connected to the crew that builds it, and it keeps four services under one roof: paver installation, paver cleaning and sealing, pressure washing, and artificial turf.

Paver installation

Groundworks installs paver driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, seat walls, and travertine. Its site puts the focus on the work below the surface: compacting the subgrade, building the base in compacted layers, keeping the sand bedding thin (about an inch, which it cites as the ICPI industry spec), and fastening edge restraint into the base instead of loose sand. On driveway replacements, the old concrete or asphalt is broken out and hauled away first. Because Brevard lots are flat and the wet season keeps groundwater high, the company says it reads the grade and plans drainage before it quotes.

Sealing, washing, and turf

Cleaning and sealing is the job Groundworks says it does most, and much of that work is on pavers someone else installed. The process covers cleaning, replacing joint sand, letting the surface dry fully, and applying a wet-look or matte sealer, with resealing recommended roughly every 2 to 3 years. The company also pressure washes driveways, concrete, pool decks, and house exteriors, and installs artificial turf lawns, putting greens, and pet turf, with an emphasis on drainage, base prep, and infill.

Estimates, permits, and warranty

Projects start with a free on-site walkthrough and an itemized written estimate that lists excavation, base, bedding, pavers, edge restraint, and joint sand line by line. Groundworks says it will explain what your municipality requires, who pulls any permit, and what an HOA review board may want to see. Completed jobs come with a written workmanship warranty covering installation problems such as settlement from base preparation, edge restraint failure, and drainage that does not fall as designed. Product defects go through the manufacturer's warranty, and the company says it helps homeowners file those claims.
