Some "before" pics
Here the brick culvert walls had been damaged over time, and they were starting to fall apart. The owner of this home wanted to add more gravel to their driveway but prevent it from spreading into the grass over time, so he opted to have driveway edger walls built to retain the gravel, as well as have the culvert walls repaired to keep the water flow clear.
Some "after" pics
JT Contracting excavated the full length of the driveway on both sides and along the back to meet the edge of their concrete parking pad. We poured footings and built the cobblestone edger walls, and removed and rebuilt the culvert walls, with the cobblestone that the client purchased. Also, the client needed a drainage pipe added to correct the water flow that was flowing into their driveways contributing to the issues they were experiencing, so we were able to quickly incorporate that as well. sidenote: We did cut that drainage pipe in the photo to the correct length after this photo was taken.

This client needed a front entryway makeover including their stoop, steps and walkway. JT Contracting was able to make their front walkway more beautiful, but more accessible as well, by rebuilding these steps with a more pronounced entryway, capped with bluestone. The walkway was moved further into the yard so it wasn't crammed up next to the front of the house, and the owner could then (if desired) add some shrubs or other landscaping to really increase the beauty of the front of their home.

Very easy to see where water had been able to penetrate the space between the stoop and the steps, leading to separation. The stairs needed to be completely removed to pour a new footing, which can be seen in the progress photo post-demo. The client chose to reuse the existing railings and the bricks on the stoop were cleaned and repointed.
