This historic home’s large driveway, courtyard, and cobblestone walkways required a thoughtful combination of materials to deliver function and aesthetic beauty.

For the main drive area, Unilock Brussels Block in Limestone was chosen. This tumbled paver has a naturally antiqued patina that provides an aged appearance and can endure the demands of a driveway application. Separating both ends of the driveway is a luscious walkway and decorative fountain that serve as the main focal point for the courtyard garden area. The main paver rug of this space utilizes Unilock Courtstone in Basalt, providing a deep, rich color and luxurious appearance that is modelled after historic European cobblestones, while staying true to the home’s architectural style. This walkway provides a space to admire the fountain center piece, and direct visitors toward the front entrance. As an Elegance paver, Courtstone uses Reala technology to create unique shapes, and is manufactured with up to four times the strength of traditional poured concrete with Ultima concrete. Jointing sand is applied between the pavers, binding them in place in order to prevent shifting under the weight of vehicle traffic.

A tri-color blend of Unilock Copthorne pavers was used as an inset band to connect the entire project, adding the finishing touches to this consolidation of cobblestone walkways and driveways. Copthorne pavers are used to help delineate the edges of the driveway, with an outer border of Brussels Block that helps signify the transition from patio to turf. Adorning the fountain center piece and front entryway are lines of decorative potted plants and flowers, adding colorful splashes to the otherwise muted tones of the home. This gorgeous front entry is expansive, and capitalizes on its main functions while delivering an aesthetically pleasing appearance that will have onlookers stopping to admire. Your driveway is the first thing people will see when they approach your home, so let Unilock inspire your next outdoor project.
