Granite Paving with Charcoal Borders | Durkar

Site Preparation:
The project began by removing the old, worn paving block and cleared debris from the site so it could be excavated and leveled to ensure a solid base for the new installation. A compacted sub-base was then installed to provide the crucial structural stability.

Paving Installation:
Granite paving blocks were carefully laid in a herringbone pattern to achieve a sleek and uniform finish. To further elevate the design, double charcoal borders were installed along the edges. These darker borders offer a bold contrast to the lighter granite tones, framing the driveway and adding depth and character to the overall design. The clean, symmetrical lines created by the paving and borders bring a polished, professional look that complements the property beautifully.

Step Construction:
A custom-designed step was crafted at the front door to enhance both functionality and style. Using the same granite paving and charcoal border materials, the step blends seamlessly with the driveway, ensuring a cohesive design. Its precise construction not only provides a safe and practical entrance but also adds a touch of elegance to the property. The subtle contrast between the granite surface and charcoal accents creates a refined look, ensuring that the step serves as both a functional feature and an eye-catching detail.

Finishing Touches:
To complete the project, kiln-dried sand was carefully brushed into the joints between the paving blocks. This process locks the blocks securely in place, preventing movement and enhancing the durability of the surface. The edges of the driveway were expertly finished to ensure a neat and seamless transition to surrounding areas, such as the adjacent gravel borders. A thorough site cleanup was carried out, leaving the driveway spotless and ready for immediate use. The final result is a beautifully transformed outdoor space, combining style, durability, and functionality in equal measure.
