The Brief

From aging asphalt to a refined, welcoming entrance

This project involved a complete transformation of the client’s front entrance, replacing an aging asphalt driveway and deteriorated walkway with a timeless, elevated landscape design that enhances both curb appeal and functionality. The existing driveway and front walkway were removed and excavated before a new engineered granular foundation was installed to ensure long-term stability, and a raised front walkway was built to improve accessibility and create a more prominent entrance to the home.

Specification

The build, in detail

The driveway was rebuilt using Unilock Huntington 70mm pavers in Glacier Creek, providing a durable, elegant surface designed to withstand Ontario’s climate. A raised front walkway was constructed using an interlock retaining wall system to improve accessibility and create a more prominent entrance, while a raised landing was created using a natural stone precast step, framed with an L-shaped garden planter that seamlessly integrates the entrance with the surrounding landscape. The new garden bed features flowering perennials in shades of pink, purple, and white, adding seasonal colour, texture, and visual interest that complements the home’s architecture.
