Before

Ready for an upgrade

  • Homeowners wanted to maximize their space and extend the walkway into the driveway

Prep

Standard Base Installation

  • Geotextile was used to separate the base from subgrade soil and support long-term stability
  • Concrete pad was removed in preparation
  • Base is installed in small lifts to ensure effective compaction

Prep

A perfect level, every time

  • Screed bars helped establish a consistent grade instead of relying on guesswork.
  • Cleanliness and public safety is always important to us.
