At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help Florida homeowners create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, durable, and made for year-round living. Serving Brevard and Indian River Counties, our team delivers expert craftsmanship on every project, from pool enclosures to hurricane protection.

Located just north of Vero Beach, Gifford, FL is a close-knit community where outdoor living is part of daily life. From homes near 45th Street and U.S. 1 to neighborhoods close to Gifford Park, residents enjoy spending time outside with family, entertaining guests, and relaxing in their backyards. With Florida’s warm climate and frequent rain, many homeowners in Gifford choose to add screen enclosures to make their outdoor spaces more usable year-round. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in paver foundations installed exclusively as part of our custom screen enclosure builds, providing Gifford homeowners with a strong, attractive foundation designed to perform well in local soil and weather conditions.
Unlike companies that offer pavers as a standalone service, we do not install pavers on their own. Our paver foundations are engineered specifically to support screen enclosures, ensuring proper grading, drainage, and long-term structural stability. This integrated approach results in a cleaner installation and a finished outdoor space that lasts.
Gifford’s soil conditions—often sandy with varying moisture levels—can cause traditional concrete slabs to crack or settle over time. Paver foundations offer a more flexible solution that adapts to minor soil movement while providing excellent drainage beneath the enclosure.
To learn more about the materials we use, visit our concrete pavers page, which highlights the durability and quality standards we follow for structural applications. If you’re curious how pavers perform under heavier loads and long-term use, our driveway pavers guide provides additional insight into the strength built into our foundations.
For homeowners exploring design ideas—such as colors, textures, or patterns—our patio pavers page offers inspiration that pairs well with screen enclosures.
Choosing a paver foundation for your screen enclosure offers several advantages that make sense for homes in Gifford:
Pavers can accommodate minor soil movement without cracking, making them ideal for Florida’s sandy conditions.
With frequent rainstorms, proper drainage is essential. Paver joints allow water to drain naturally, reducing pooling beneath the enclosure.
Properly installed pavers maintain their integrity over time and resist many common foundation problems seen with concrete slabs.
If irrigation lines or utilities ever need access, individual pavers can be removed and replaced without damaging the entire foundation.
Pavers create a clean, finished look that enhances patios, lanais, and screened-in outdoor spaces.

We follow a detailed, proven process to ensure your enclosure foundation is built for long-term performance.
We assess soil composition, grading, drainage flow, and the enclosure footprint. Homes near 45th Street, U.S. 1, and nearby residential areas often require careful grading to manage water flow.
Our team excavates the area, installs high-quality base materials, and compacts everything thoroughly to prevent settling or shifting.
You choose your preferred paver style and pattern. We install the pavers precisely to ensure alignment with the enclosure layout.
Polymeric sand is applied and compacted to lock the pavers into place and enhance overall stability.
Once the foundation is complete, we build your custom screen enclosure directly on top, creating a seamless finished space.
We handle all required permitting through Indian River County, making the process simple and stress-free for homeowners.
