Pavers & Hardscapes in Skye Ranch
Most Skye Ranch homes have a builder-grade concrete driveway and a basic pool deck — pavers are the most common high-leverage upgrade. Installed paver pricing in Sarasota: driveway $14–$22 per sq ft, pool deck $12–$18, patio $10–$16. Travertine premium is roughly +$3–$6 per sq ft and stays measurably cooler underfoot than concrete pavers (worth it on west-facing pool decks). Resealing every 2–3 years locks joints and prevents weed and ant intrusion — budget $0.40–$0.80 per sq ft each reseal.<!-- month1-enrich --> ### Pavers, lanais, and deck extensions in Skye Ranch Skye Ranch homes come with a builder lanai and a builder driveway. The two most common upgrades are extending the lanai (a paver project) and sealing the driveway pavers (a maintenance job every 3-5 years). Both require attention to HOA architectural rules.
