Drainage, Walkway & Hardscape
From underground drainage to a finished entrance: a stepping-stone walkway, contrasting decorative stone, and restored ground brought together in one residential project.
The project
Complete the drainage installation and leave the front approach with a useful walkway, defined landscape beds, and restored ground.
- Excavated and installed underground drainage piping
- Built the L-shaped stepping-stone walkway
- Finished the walkway joints and edges with dark decorative stone
- Placed contrasting white stone beside the home
- Backfilled disturbed areas and restored the surrounding ground
The result
A finished walkway connects the driveway and front entrance, with dark stone defining the pavers and white stone setting off the planting bed. The final photos also show the surrounding lawn restoration while it establishes.

The walkway in its setting
The finished paver path leads to the front entrance, with decorative stone beside the home and straw covering restored ground while the lawn establishes.
