Before / during / after

Site conditions, prep, installation, and handoff should all tell the same story.

A crudely installed front landing with numerous uneven steps

Before

Ready for an upgrade

  • Base would leak out from beneath the stone, causing it to shift and fall
  • Steps were uneven, and uncomfortable, causing people to sometimes trip

Prep

Base prepared for driveway extension

  • Permits are always requested and shown when required by the area
  • Safety is important, especially when operating in retirement communities

Installation

Driveway extension installed, steps in process

  • Base, step layout, and wall support were planned with freeze-thaw movement and day-to-day footing in mind
  • Step spacing and transitions were planned to make the entrance easier to read and use

Installation

Garden Wall Installation

  • Homeowner loved the work so much, they wanted to add a garden wall
  • Built with a stormwater management system to avoid pooling, stagnant water sitting behind the wall

  • The finished entrance remained usable and clearly defined as winter weather arrived
