Step 1: Removing the Old Walkway

The existing pavers had been in place for decades, leading to settling, shifting, and drainage issues. We began by:
✔️ Excavating the base, removing layers of sand, crushed gravel, broken asphalt, and asphalt.
✔️ Grading the ground away from the building to improve water flow.
✔️ Creating a drainage system by installing a trench that leads to a dry well under the grass, ensuring proper water management.

The upgraded front walkway features Belgard pavers with a sleek finish and improved drainage.

Step 2: Strengthening the Foundation

To ensure stability and prevent future sinking, we followed a multi-layered approach:
✔️ Compacted the soil after excavation.
✔️ Placed professional-grade fabric for stability.
✔️ Added a permeable base of washed rocks and compacted it.
✔️ Installed another layer of fabric for extra strength.

Step 3: Installing the New Belgard Pavers

Once the foundation was set, we installed high-quality Belgard Dimensions 12 paving stones in Tofino Grey, paired with a charcoal border for a sleek, modern contrast.
✔️ Paver base – Used sand chips with no fines for a smooth and compact foundation.
✔️ Paver edge restraint – Installed with spiral nails to hold the pavers securely in place.

I had this company re do landscaping for my house, and fix the water drainage issue in my back yard. The leader Mr Nasar, who designed and came out the idea how to fix water drainage issue, is very professional and knowledgeable. His workers are hard working provided excellent services. They always come on time, and work late if necessary in order to catch up the progress. They would always accommodate our requests, trying to make us happy. The project was done in late 2020, this year everything looks perfect. I highly recommend this company, and Nasar, Jamal. If I would have another job, for sure will hire them again.
