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.

Life in Melbourne Beach, FL is defined by barrier-island living, ocean breezes, and a strong connection to the outdoors. From homes along A1A and Ocean Avenue, to riverfront properties bordering the Indian River Lagoon, residents here prioritize outdoor spaces that can withstand salt air, shifting sand, and coastal weather. Screen enclosures are a popular solution for enjoying patios and lanais without insects or wind-blown debris. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we specialize in paver foundations installed exclusively as part of our custom screen enclosure builds, giving Melbourne Beach homeowners strong, attractive foundations engineered specifically for coastal Florida conditions.
Unlike contractors that offer pavers as a standalone service, we do not install pavers on their own. Our paver foundations are designed solely to support screen enclosures, ensuring proper elevation, effective drainage, and long-term structural stability—essential for barrier island properties exposed to coastal elements.
Melbourne Beach properties face unique challenges including sandy soil, salt exposure, and higher moisture levels from both the ocean and lagoon. Traditional concrete slabs in these conditions can crack, erode, or deteriorate prematurely. Paver foundations provide a more adaptable solution that performs better beneath screen enclosures in coastal environments.
To learn more about the materials we use, visit our concrete pavers page, which outlines the durability and quality standards we follow for structural applications. If you’re interested in how pavers handle heavier loads and long-term wear, our driveway pavers guide highlights the strength built into our foundation systems.
For homeowners exploring colors, textures, or layout ideas that complement coastal architecture, our patio pavers page offers inspiration that pairs beautifully with screen enclosures.
Choosing a paver foundation for your screen enclosure offers several advantages ideally suited to Melbourne Beach properties:
Pavers adapt to minor soil movement without cracking, making them well-suited for sandy, coastal ground.
With frequent coastal storms and heavy rainfall, 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 exposed to salt air.
If underground utilities or irrigation systems ever require access, individual pavers can be removed and reinstalled without damaging the entire foundation.
Pavers provide a polished, finished look that enhances patios and lanais while complementing Melbourne Beach’s relaxed coastal aesthetic.

We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure your enclosure foundation is built for strength and longevity in a coastal environment.
We assess soil conditions, elevation, drainage flow, and the enclosure footprint. Homes near A1A, Ocean Avenue, and lagoon-adjacent neighborhoods often require specific grading strategies to manage water movement.
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 Town of Melbourne Beach and Brevard County, ensuring compliance with local coastal building requirements.
