Our driveways and sidewalks are two of the first things people notice when they come to your home or business. Are yours saying what you want them to say? What do your guests or customers see?

• Walkways that are too narrow; drives that are too narrow or insufficient for the number of vehicles using the drive
• Cracked, raised pavement (not just unsightly but a potentially serious tripping hazard)
• Too narrow, too short, uneven or broken steps that are too difficult to navigate or impassable for disabled or elderly guests or customers
• Areas where water pools that become slick patches of ice in cold weather
• Mulch, silt or weeds overtaking the walkway
• Entrances or walkways obscured by overgrown landscape plants or other obstacles

Our trained staff can help your hardscaping* send the right message by designing and installing a new hardscape or by adding to existing drives or walks. We’ll also make sure that any new additions coordinate with the color, design and style of your existing hardscape.

NEW HARDSCAPING – Our expert staff can professionally install new paver driveways or sidewalks at your home or business for added:

• Safety – Less chance of accidents for you, your family and guests or, if you are a business owner, your employees and customers.
• Durability – Strong, long-lasting materials made of manufactured or natural stone.
• Accessibility – Installed with the correct grading for handicap accessibility and drainage.
• Convenience – Visible and easy entrance to your home or business.
• Ease of maintenance – In the event of damage, only those pavers involved need to be replaced.

Pavers are available in a wide array of styles, shapes and colors and can be installed in varying patterns to suit the style of your home or business. To see examples of the many types of pavers that are available, visit any of our industry partners’ links below:

• Marshall Stone
• Techno-Bloc

EXISTING HARDSCAPING – We can add to existing driveways or sidewalks if what you have is too narrow for your needs. Adding pavers or brick to the edges of the existing hardscape not only adds width but also improve the appearance of your landscape by giving it a more finished, appealing look.

SECONDARY WALKWAYS – If you find "pathways" in your lawn where grass won't grow because it's being walked on routinely, you may want to consider having a walkway put in. Less traveled paths in your yard need not be as wide or as formal as the walks you use most of the time. We can construct secondary walkways of flagstone, pavers or loose stone that are both functional and attractive.

For those who are environmentally friendly, permeable pavers are now available to help alleviate stormwater runoff. For more information on permeable pavers, visit Belgard’s website.
