Homeowners in Deerfield, IL recently witnessed a remarkable exterior upgrade, thanks to a comprehensive paving and landscaping project by Kaplan Paving. The project focused on replacing a timeworn concrete driveway, as well as revitalizing the entrance area with new retaining garden walls and matching steps. This complete overhaul not only revitalized the appearance of the property but also provided lasting durability and functional benefits.
The previous concrete driveway showed significant wear and was no longer complementing the beauty of the home. Kaplan Paving addressed these issues by installing a two lift asphalt driveway, a process that enhances both longevity and smoothness. A critical component of this installation was the use of drive grid base stabilization, which increases load-bearing capacity and resists shifting over time—vital for the varied Illinois climate.
To elevate the finished look of the driveway, Unilock Treo paver borders were added along each side. These borders provide not only a vibrant aesthetic contrast to the rich blacktop, but also reinforce the driveway’s edges, preventing potential cracking and unruly spreading. The color selection for the pavers was carefully chosen to create visual interest and harmonize with the home’s exterior features.
The approach to the entrance was further enhanced with new retaining garden walls. Using Techo-Bloc Graphix wall units, Kaplan Paving delivered a modern, dimensional look with varied face depths that add both structural support and design flair. These meticulously crafted walls now frame the entrance stairs, which were also veneered to match, creating a cohesive transition from driveway to front door. This combination highlights the property’s architecture and ensures durability for years to come.
This Deerfield, IL project is a textbook example of how expert paving, thoughtful design, and quality materials can dramatically improve curb appeal and property value. For anyone considering a similar renovation, turning to trusted professionals ensures seamless results from start to finish.
