TRANSFORMING A FRONT ENTRYWAY IN NAPERVILLE, IL WITH MISSION BRICK PAVING

At Mission Brick Paving, we understand that the entrance to your home sets the stage for what lies beyond your front door. A well-maintained, visually appealing front entryway not only enhances curb appeal but also creates a welcoming atmosphere. Recently, we had the pleasure of transforming a front entryway and walkway for one of our clients, turning a neglected space into a stunning and durable feature. Let us walk you through the steps we took to achieve this dramatic transformation.

BEFORE AND AFTER: A DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION

The Challenge

In the "before" photo, you can see that the front entryway was in dire need of attention. However, the state of disrepair was due to a significant issue…a sewer line break. The necessary repair work left the area in a mess, with uneven pavers and disturbed ground. The entryway appeared neglected and uninviting, which was not the first impression the homeowner wanted to give.

The Solution

Our team approached this project with the goal of a complete restoration. The "after" photo showcases the remarkable transformation we achieved. What was once an uneven and unkempt entryway is now a beautifully paved, inviting pathway that enhances the home's exterior. Here’s how we did it:

Detailed Steps of the Restoration Process

1. Assessment and Planning

- We started with a thorough assessment of the existing condition of the entryway and walkway.

- We discussed design options with the homeowner to ensure the new layout would enhance the overall aesthetics of the property.

- A detailed plan was developed to address all issues, from uneven pavers to poor drainage.

2. Removal of Old Pavers

- Our first step was to remove the old, uneven pavers.

- We carefully dismantled the existing structure, taking care not to damage any underlying infrastructure.

3. Ground Preparation

- Proper ground preparation is crucial for a long-lasting result.

- We leveled the area and improved the drainage system to prevent future issues.

- A layer of gravel and sand was added to create a stable base for the new pavers.

4. Installation of New Pavers

- Using high-quality pavers, we meticulously installed the new entryway and walkway.

- The design was chosen to complement the home's aesthetic while ensuring durability and ease of maintenance.

- Attention to detail was paramount, ensuring each paver was perfectly aligned and leveled.

5. Addition of Polymer Sand

- To ensure the stability of the new pavers, we added polymer sand between the joints.

- This step not only locks the pavers in place but also prevents weed growth and ant infestations.

6. Cleaning and Sealing

- After installation, we thoroughly cleaned the pavers to remove any debris and residues.

- We applied a high-quality sealant to protect the pavers from the elements, enhancing their color and extending their lifespan.

BENEFITS OF A RESTORED ENTRYWAY

The transformation of this front entryway and walkway offers numerous benefits:

- Enhanced Curb Appeal: A beautifully paved entryway significantly boosts your home's curb appeal, making it more attractive to visitors and potential buyers.

- Increased Property Value: Investing in quality hardscaping can increase the overall value of your property.

- Durability: Proper installation and sealing ensure the entryway will withstand weather conditions and heavy foot traffic for years to come.

- Low Maintenance: With the addition of polymer sand and sealing, the new entryway requires minimal maintenance, saving you time and effort.
