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.
Melbourne, FL blends vibrant city life with classic Florida outdoor living. From neighborhoods near Downtown Melbourne and Lake Washington, to homes along Wickham Road, U.S. 1, and the Indian River Lagoon, outdoor spaces are an important extension of everyday living. Many homeowners in Melbourne invest in screen enclosures to enjoy fresh air, shade, and backyard comfort year-round. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in paver foundations installed exclusively as part of our custom screen enclosure builds, giving Melbourne homeowners durable, attractive foundations engineered for Central Florida soil and coastal-adjacent conditions.
Unlike companies that install pavers as a standalone service, we do not offer pavers on their own. Our paver installations are designed specifically to support screen enclosures, ensuring correct elevation, effective drainage, and long-term structural stability. This integrated approach results in a cleaner installation and an outdoor space that performs reliably over time.
Melbourne properties often feature a mix of sandy soil, compacted fill, and moisture exposure—especially in areas closer to the river or low-lying neighborhoods. Traditional concrete slabs in these conditions can crack, settle unevenly, or trap moisture beneath an enclosure. Paver foundations provide a more adaptable solution that manages soil movement and water flow more effectively.
To learn more about the materials we use and the standards we follow, visit our concrete pavers page. If you’re interested in how pavers perform under heavier loads and long-term use, our driveway pavers guide highlights the durability built into our foundation systems.
For homeowners exploring colors, textures, or layout ideas that work well with patios and lanais, our patio pavers page offers inspiration that pairs seamlessly with screen enclosures.
Choosing a paver foundation for your screen enclosure offers several advantages well-suited to Melbourne properties:
Pavers adapt to minor soil movement without cracking, making them effective for both inland neighborhoods and lagoon-adjacent areas.
Florida’s frequent rainstorms require efficient water management. Paver joints allow water to drain naturally, reducing pooling beneath the enclosure.
Properly installed pavers resist cracking and surface deterioration better than many concrete slab foundations.
If irrigation lines or underground utilities ever require access, individual pavers can be removed and reinstalled without damaging the entire foundation.
Pavers provide a polished look that enhances patios, lanais, and screened outdoor living areas throughout Melbourne.

We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure your enclosure foundation is built for strength and longevity.
We assess soil conditions, elevation, drainage flow, and the enclosure footprint. Homes near Downtown Melbourne, Wickham Road, Lake Washington, and river-adjacent neighborhoods often require specific grading strategies.
Our team excavates the installation area, installs high-quality base materials, and compacts everything thoroughly to prevent settling or shifting.
You select your preferred paver style, color, and pattern. We install the pavers with precision to ensure perfect 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 outdoor space.
We handle all required permitting through the City of Melbourne and Brevard County, ensuring compliance with local building requirements.
