This paver patio was done in Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth ‘Bavarian Blend’ pavers with a Copthorne Basalt accent and Brussels Block ‘Sandstone’ Soldier course. The stoop and seat wall were built using Olde Quarry ‘Sandstone’ wall block with Ledgestone ‘Buff’ coping. Copthorne Basalt banding was used in the seat wall. The pergola was built with all Smooth Red Cedar lumber: 6×6 posts, 2×12 beams and 2×8 rafters with top-runners on 8” centers to provide ample shade to this out door space.

This paver walkway, patio, and front stoop installation was done using Unilock Beacon Hill Flagstone pavers in ‘Bavarian Blend’ with Mattoni ‘Cocoa Brown’ accents and Brussels Block ‘Sandstone’ soldier course. The walkway is almost six feet wide and lends excellent proportion to both the distance covered and the architecture of the home. The front stoop was built with U-Cara ‘Summer Wheat’ wall block with Ledgestone ‘Buff’ coping.
A warm-toned low voltage lighting system was used to illuminate the property at night. Ledgelights were used on the all steps, path lights lead you down the walkway and up-lighting accents that stone façade of this beautiful home to add security and curb appeal after the sun has set.

This hardscape project in Roselle began with a 150 long by 5’ tall, reinforced retaining wall with built-in steps to create a terraced outdoor living space. The two terraced patios were done in Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth ‘Fossil’ pavers, with a two tone Copthorne accent in ‘Burnt Clay’ and ‘Basalt,’ and a Brussels Block ‘Limestone’ soldier course.
The U-shaped outdoor kitchen was built using U-Cara modular units with ‘Fossil’ pitched fascia panels and Series ‘Onyx Black’ banding with a polished granite countertop. The island is complete with a mini-fridge, 3 burner gas stove, 5-burner gas grill by Blaze, drawer set, cabinets, sliding trash can, and built-in ledge for the Kamado. The fire feature is a natural gas fueled bowl that sits on top of the pavers.
The retaining was built using Unilock Pisa XL ‘Granite’ wall block and matching Pisa coping. The steps and stoop were done in Olde Quarry ‘Granite’ wall block with Ledgestone ‘Buff’ step treads.
The circular accent patio was done in Copthorne ‘Tri-color red’ with border that matches the main patios. Walkways were done in Brussels Block ‘Limestone’ with matching border as well. Natural sandstone step slabs were laid within the walkway.
There is no shortage of mood-setting low-voltage lighting after the sun goes down with over 40 Ledgelights on the retaining wall, stoop, steps and island to match the scale of this build.

Natural Innovations | Front Entrance: Brick Paver Driveway, Walkway, Porch and Steps | Schaumburg
Designed and Built by Natural Innovations:
This front entrance in Schaumburg used Unilock Brussels Block ‘Limestone’ pavers with Copthorne ‘Basalt’ accents and diamond shaped inlays on the driveway and front walkway. The front stoop was constructed using U-Cara Umbriano ‘Summer Wheat’ fascia panels and Ledgestone ‘Buff’ coping with matching pavers over the existing concrete stoop.
Low-voltage landscape lighting finishes this project off nicely with ledgelighting on the stoop and step, path lights leading up the front walk and up-lighting placed on the house façade and select plant material.

This project in Inverness began with the design of the front walkway, stoop, lighting, and plantings. The following year, we added the back patio with Aluminum and vinyl pergola, grill island and lighting. Later that season we updated all the border plantings in the back of the property to add color and privacy to the space.
The paver surfaces are done in Unilock Beacon Hill Flagstone ‘Bavarian Blend’ with Mattoni ‘Cocoa Brown’ accent, and Brussels Block ‘Sandstone’ soldier course. The front stoop, back steps and grill island were done in U-Cara Umbriano ‘Summer Wheat’ panels and Ledgestone ‘Buff’ coping. A polished granite countertop finished off the grill island/bar.
The pergola is from Heartland Pergolas and uses structural aluminum framing covered in maintenance free vinyl. The pergola also accommodates an outdoor fan-light combo.
Ledgelights, up-lights and path lights were used throughout the design to accent these spaces past dusk, add depth to the property and highlight the architecture of the home.
Plant material was chosen to add multi-seasonal foliage color, alternating flowering times with diverse colors, and privacy in select areas.
Below are some images of the Design created with our CAD software.
