Custom Brick Paver Walkway in
Lake Forest, IL

A Beautiful New Entrance Designed by Joe Revelle

Kaplan Paving recently completed a stunning brick paver walkway and entrance transformation in Lake Forest, IL. Designed by Joe Revelle and installed by Kaplan Paving, this project replaced aging concrete walkways with premium Techo-Bloc pavers, redesigned entrance stoops, improved drainage, and beautiful landscape lighting.

The homeowners also requested subtle changes to the walkway layout, creating a more attractive and welcoming approach to their home.

Premium Techo-Bloc Pavers and Custom Stoops

The existing concrete walkways were completely removed and replaced with Techo-Bloc Blu 60 HD2 in Gray Nickel, installed in an elegant three-size blend.

The main entrance stoop was extended with reinforced concrete, pinned to the existing foundation, and supported by pier footings extending below the frost line to help prevent future movement.

Both the main and service entrance stoops were finished with matching Blu 60 HD2 veneer and Techo-Bloc Raffinato HD2 stair tread coping, creating a cohesive, modern appearance.

Underground Drainage and Landscape Improvements

Kaplan Paving buried the existing downspouts and routed drainage beneath the walkway into the front yard, directing water away from the home’s foundation.

Because portions of the walkway bordered elevated mulch beds, steel edging was installed to retain the landscaping and support the pavers.

The finishing touch was a combination of landscape uplighting and pathway lighting, highlighting the beautiful plantings while illuminating the entrance after dark.

Beautiful Design, Quality Construction

From the reinforced stoop foundations and underground drainage to the precision paver installation and landscape lighting, every detail was carefully planned.

Kaplan Paving’s outstanding online reputation and hundreds of positive customer reviews reflect the quality craftsmanship homeowners throughout Northern Illinois have come to expect.

The finished project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and proper construction can transform a home’s entrance.
