Paver Driveways
Decorative Border Paver Driveway in Cedar Falls, IA
Cedar Falls, Iowa
Worn concrete was upgraded to pavers with a decorative border along the edges.
The problem
The concrete was worn and the edges had started to break. The owner wanted pavers with a decorative border: a defined edge that also keeps the field from creeping.
The property
Cedar Falls driveway with failing concrete edges, a garage connection, and enough width that a soldier-course border would read from the street.
Work performed
We replaced the driveway completely: demo, compacted base, paver field, and a decorative soldier-course border with edge restraint and polymeric sand.
Materials
- Driveway pavers
- Decorative border
- Compacted base
- Polymeric sand
Full driveway replacement with a decorative soldier-course border and compacted base.
Challenges
Borders fail when they are glued on after the field. We set the soldier course as part of the layout so it is structural. Edge restraint behind it is what keeps Iowa freeze-thaw from walking the pattern into the lawn.
Finished result
Worn concrete is a paver driveway with a decorative border that holds the field. The edge is the detail you notice from the street and the part that keeps the drive together. Typical Cedar Falls upgrade when the slab is done and the house needs a finished approach.
