Pavers in Danville, CA
Most Danville paver requests are driveways and pool decks. The driveway on your lot is your project; the approach at the street is the Town's right of way, and constructing or widening it needs a Danville encroachment permit (Town of Danville).
Driveways and the Town right of way
The Town of Danville requires an encroachment permit for any work in the public right of way, listing construction or widening of a driveway approach, sidewalk replacement and installing a drain through the curb among the examples. It also notes the right of way typically extends about 10 feet from the face of curb, though it varies (Town of Danville). That means part of what looks like "your driveway" may be the Town's. Find the line before choosing where the pavers stop.
| Part of the driveway | Who controls it | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway on your lot | You | Design choice; ICPI calls for 6 in of compacted base and 60 mm pavers |
| Approach / apron at the curb | Town of Danville | Encroachment permit to construct or widen |
| Sidewalk | Town of Danville | Encroachment permit to replace |
Pool decks
Larger Danville lots often have older pools with cracked concrete decks. A paver or travertine deck on a compacted base, sloped away from the pool, is a common replacement; HomeGuide puts pool deck pavers at $12–$25+ per sq ft and travertine decks at $13–$30+ (HomeGuide; HomeGuide). Pool deck pavers.
HOAs: Blackhawk and others
Many Danville-area neighborhoods have homeowners associations with architectural review, including Blackhawk, which is unincorporated and sits under County rather than Town jurisdiction. If you are in an HOA, get the color, pattern and border approved before you sign with an installer, and ask whether the HOA has its own rules for driveway changes.
Water district and rebates
Danville is in EBMUD's service area for most homes; your water bill confirms it. EBMUD's lawn conversion rebate requires permeable patios and paths (EBMUD). How permeable pavers work.
