Brick Pavers Project in
Lake Forest, IL

A Stunning Backyard Oasis in Lake Forest

Kaplan Paving recently completed an exceptional brick paver patio transformation in Lake Forest, IL, redefining elegance and outdoor living. The homeowners wanted to replace an aging stamped concrete patio that had begun flaking apart over the years. Not only had the surface become unattractive, but it also became slippery when wet, creating a safety concern for family and guests.

By replacing the deteriorating concrete with premium brick pavers and thoughtfully designed landscape features, Kaplan Paving created a luxurious outdoor retreat that can be enjoyed throughout the day and well into the evening.

Premium Pavers with Timeless Design

The old stamped concrete patio was completely removed and replaced with beautiful Unilock Beacon Hill Flagstone Large Format pavers in Fossil. These premium pavers provide the natural appearance of stone while offering exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.

To add contrast and visual interest, the patio features a striking two-row inlay of Unilock Mattoni in Dark Charcoal. The darker accent frames the patio beautifully, creating a sophisticated design that complements the home’s architecture.

Around the perimeter, Kaplan Paving installed large XL steppers surrounded by Merrimack decorative stone. The rich tones of the decorative stone perfectly highlight the patio while creating a seamless transition between the hardscape and surrounding landscape.

Bringing the Patio to Life After Sunset

A beautiful patio should be enjoyed both day and night. To complete this outdoor living space, Kaplan Paving incorporated elegant landscape lighting throughout the project.

As evening falls, the lighting enhances the textures of the pavers, accent borders, and surrounding landscape, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors. The combination of premium materials and professional lighting truly transforms this backyard into a Lake Forest oasis.
