Complete Backyard Modern Access Drive
A cramped, sloped approach re-engineered with an interlocking paver drive, a side-yard access lane and a retaining wall that finally holds the grade.
How this project came together
The design decision
We re-engineered the sloped, cramped approach as an interlocking paver driveway with a side-yard access lane, which gives the property a second usable route in and out.
The build
The paving carries through to a patio at the rear, and a retaining wall holds the grade along the drive. Paver walkways and front entry steps tie the approach together, and we held the interlocking pattern throughout so the extension doesn't look bolted on.
The property as we found it

Built by our own crews
Excavation, grading, drainage, and hardscape, all handled in house, so there's one team accountable from the first drawing to the last plant.

Design, permits, materials, and construction are handled by one in-house team. A designer will walk your property, talk through what's realistic on your lot, and show you what the space can become.
