This project developed when the client's original driveway underneath her Port-Cochere (carport) was heavily degraded concrete, buckling after years in the freeze and thaw cycles. I tore out the concrete, hand-dug the pit and set a massive 18" deep foundation of crusher run and sand - this won't be going anywhere!

​

After that, I installed the Reclaimed Street Brick which was taken from the streets of Jamestown and has seen both hoof and wheel, tire and tread - there's lots of history in these beauties! These bricks are beefy and tough but a smooth ride across - a perfect option for a driveway.

Down the middle, I placed the iconic Red Medina Sandstone with custom-cut joints that are tightly fitted together ensuring for overall maximum strength. 

​

The challenging part was making sure that the entire driveway would remain tight and strong. By using the dry-fit method, meaning no mortar or cement, I allow the drive to move and flow with the seasons while still retaining its overall strength.
