This Village of Schaumburg homeowner didn’t just want a new driveway—they needed a solution to serious structural problems. The old driveway lacked retention, suffered from poor drainage, flooding, erosion, and crumbling concrete. Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc approached the project as a fully integrated system, combining multiple trades so every element works together for long-lasting performance and beauty.
Project Highlights – Integrated Driveway System:
-
Asphalt paving for smooth, durable driving surfaces
-
Concrete work across most of the driveway for structural strength
-
Unilock Hollandstone brick borders & steps for timeless curb appeal
-
Unilock Pisa XL retaining wall with built-in NDS drainage to control erosion and water retention
-
Geo Grid foundation reinforcing the entire driveway for long-term stability
Why It Works:
-
Drainage seamlessly integrated into the retaining wall
-
Geo Grid supports concrete and asphalt for maximum durability
-
Masonry ties function and design together for a cohesive, attractive system
Results:
-
Flooding stopped and erosion controlled
-
Structure fully reinforced
-
Driveway functions as a single, efficient system while enhancing curb appeal
