The problem
Where the job started
The front entrance was a setup of old concrete slabs laid on timber edging, with a step built the same way. The owners wanted a cleaner, more modern entrance and a step with a more finished, durable look.
What Korvex did
- Lift the old concrete slabs and the timber edging
- Rebuild the front step
- Set a slab border around the landing
- Lay the interlock landing inside the border
How we solved it
The hard parts of this job
A small entrance upgrade that makes a big difference. The new interlock surface is more practical and easier to maintain than the old slabs, and it gives the front entrance a much more polished appearance.
01A step built to last
The old step was concrete slabs sitting on timber. The new step and the edge of the landing are large slabs set on courses of block, so the step and the landing read as one finished piece.
02Pavers inside a border
The border went in first. The inside was filled with a sand bed and laid with interlock pavers in a mixed pattern, framed by the border slabs.
