How a Pavers Driveway Transformed This Salt Lake Avenues Home’s Outdated Concrete into a Sleek, Modern Masterpiece

Been thinking about how to boost your home’s curb appeal, durability, and value? A pavers driveway might be just what you need.

Last week, we finished up a new pavers driveway for a customer who wanted to jazz up their house exterior with some stylish and long-lasting results. While putting together the estimate, we realized that dark pavers combined with a dark concrete pathway would really make the house’s exterior and front yard landscaping pop. We aimed to create a striking contrast between the green areas, driveway, and porch.

Before the pavers driveway…

After we removed the concrete, we got started on preparing the base properly. This step is super important for making sure your driveway lasts and looks great. The base layer supports the pavers, and if we mess up here, they can shift and settle over time. We dig out the existing soil, add a gravel layer, and compact it really well. This creates a stable foundation so your driveway stays level and durable for years to come. When picking dark graphite Belgard pavers, they not only break up the look of your driveway but also blend beautifully with your home’s exterior and landscaping for a cohesive vibe. Timeless colors like beige, gray, and brown always work well. But if you want to make a statement, go for bold colors and intricate patterns to show off your unique style. The right mix can really make your property stand out in the neighborhood. Choosing pavers over concrete adds durability and resilience. However, different materials offer varying levels of weather resistance. For example, if you live in a place like Salt Lake City with freezing temperatures, it’s best to pick pavers that can handle those conditions without cracking. Concrete pavers are a great option because they’re strong and resistant to freezing temperatures.

Now this home not only looks better from the street but has also increased in value (meaning when the homeowners sell, it’ll be worth more than the neighbors’). A paver driveway is the perfect mix of good looks, practicality, and durability.

Choosing the right design and materials, along with proper installation and maintenance, is key to creating a driveway that not only looks awesome but also lasts.
