Brussels Brick Paver Patio and Walkway Project in Edison Park, IL

This project in Edison Park, IL focused on upgrading the home’s outdoor living space with a new Brussels Brick paver patio and connecting walkways. The project replaced existing concrete, soil, and sod with a professionally installed paver system designed to improve functionality, durability, and curb appeal while creating seamless access from the front entrance to the backyard.

Project Goals

• Replace aging concrete walkways.
• Install a new Brussels Brick paver patio.
• Create connected front and backyard walkways.
• Improve drainage and long-term durability.
• Enhance curb appeal and outdoor living space.
• Build a stable, low-maintenance hardscape.
• Site Preparation

The project began with the removal and disposal of the existing concrete, soil, and sod throughout the work area.

Proper excavation prepared the site for a new hardscape system while ensuring adequate depth for a durable foundation.

Base Construction

A compacted stone base approximately nine inches deep was installed to provide long-term structural support.

The base was compacted in multiple lifts to create a stable foundation before a one-inch layer of bedding sand was placed to prepare for the paver installation.

Brussels Brick Paver Installation

New Brussels Brick pavers were installed to create the patio, front walkways, and the connecting sidewalk leading to the backyard.

The pavers were carefully aligned to create clean lines and a cohesive appearance that complements the home’s exterior.

Edging was securely installed with 10-inch landscape spikes to help maintain the integrity of the paver system over time.

Polymeric joint sand was applied between the pavers to improve stability while helping reduce weed growth and joint erosion.

Finishing Details

The project also included extending the paver installation beneath the garbage bin area and backfilling around the rear step to create a clean, finished appearance throughout the property.

These finishing touches help provide a seamless transition between the home’s hardscape features and surrounding landscape.

Why Quality Paver Installation Matters

A properly installed paver system begins with thorough site preparation and a stable foundation.

Professional base construction, secure edging, and polymeric joint sand all contribute to a hardscape that resists settling, improves drainage, and provides lasting beauty with minimal maintenance.
