Northbrook Driveway & Front Entrance Renovation Project | Asphalt Driveway, Clay Pavers & Limestone

This front entrance renovation project in Northbrook involved a complete rebuild of the driveway, front steps, and entry approach to improve both the appearance and long-term structural performance of the property.

Our team at Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc. removed the existing driveway and rebuilt the entire front entrance with new asphalt paving, clay paver detailing, concrete steps, and Indiana Limestone treads designed to create a clean, elevated, and durable finished result.

Scope of Work Completed

• Removed and replaced the existing asphalt driveway
• Regraded and compacted the stone base throughout the project area
• Installed new asphalt paving for the main driveway
• Added clay paver detailing throughout the driveway design
• Rebuilt the front entrance with new concrete steps
• Installed clay paver landings to match the driveway accents
• Added oversized Indiana Limestone treads for a more substantial front entry appearance
• Compacted and rolled the base multiple times to ensure long-term stability and performance

Proper Base Preparation for Long-Term Performance

The most important part of driveway and front entrance projects happens below the surface. Proper excavation, grading, drainage, and base compaction are critical to preventing future settlement, movement, and structural failure.

Many driveway and paver problems begin because of poor base preparation or shortcuts during installation. This project was completed with a focus on rebuilding the foundation underneath the surfaces to ensure the finished result not only looks right, but performs properly over time.
