New patio. New entrance. A whole new feel for this Aurora home. 🍁

We brought the front and back together with a paver patio, curved walkway, custom steps, and matching driveway accents.

The dark borders frame the stone beautifully, and the lights tucked under the steps give the entrance a warm glow. That red maple showing off beside the walkway doesn’t hurt either.

Plenty of careful cuts and fitting went into this job. Proud of our crew and thankful to these homeowners for trusting us with their space.

Pull up a chair, Montgomery 🔥

Just wrapped up this raised patio with Unilock Beacon Hill pavers, U-Cara steps, and a gas fire pit with a curved sitting wall. Plenty of room for dinner outside and hanging out a little longer.

That drone view, though 👀 Swipe to see the details!

Definitely one of our favorite transformations this season 🔥

🍂 Is October too late to build a paver patio in Illinois?

You may still have time to turn that backyard wish list into a place for fall cookouts, cozy evenings, and making memories. 🏡

But a successful fall installation takes more than a few sunny days. Ground conditions, proper base preparation, drainage, and the weather window for finishing materials all matter.

In our latest blog, G Construction & Landscape explains:

✅ When an October installation makes sense
✅ How we prepare a patio for Illinois winters
✅ What ICPI/CMHA and Unilock guidance tells homeowners
✅ When waiting until spring is the better choice

If you’re in Aurora, Naperville, Downers Grove, or the surrounding suburbs, this guide is a great place to start.

New home. Blank backyard. Now it’s ready for some memories.

We transformed this new-construction backyard in Aurora with a spacious Unilock Westport Smooth patio and walkway, finished with Quarry Smooth walls and contrasting accents that bring the entire design together.

The best part? That peaceful pond view. This patio is officially ready for furniture, summer cookouts, and plenty of evenings outside.

Would you add a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, or keep the space open?

What’s hiding beneath your lawn—a drainage system built to last or a future headache?

A dependable downspout and sump-pump drainage system requires much more than burying a pipe. Proper installations should include:

✅ Smooth-wall PVC pipe
✅ Accessible cleanouts
✅ Gradual 45-degree turns
✅ Directional wye connections
✅ Long-sweep elbows when needed
✅ Frost protection for Illinois winters
✅ A properly installed catch basin and pop-up emitter

Why do we avoid standard tee connections and tight elbows? Why does the outlet need a gravel relief basin? And what keeps a sump-pump discharge from freezing?

Our latest blog explains it all in a fun, homeowner-friendly guide.

At G Construction & Landscape, we don’t bury shortcuts. We build serviceable drainage systems designed for the conditions found throughout Aurora, Naperville, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, and Chicago’s western suburbs.
