permeable driveway, three-piece grand fusion unilock permeable pavers.

11/05/2026

Medford, MA — remember Monday's driveway? It's finished.

Chip stone is swept in between the pavers and the fresh sod went in yesterday morning. Permeable Unilock Treo Smooth in Granite Fusion, about 400 sq ft on eight inches of open-graded base — rain drains through it instead of running off. The low wall went in last week, edges cemented heavy like we always do, and there's a clean spot by the house for the homeowner's barrels now.

Medford, MA — this side of the house never sees the sun, so it iced up every winter.

The fix isn't salt, it's drainage. We installed a permeable Unilock three-piece Fossil patio with a dark border — rain and meltwater drain straight through the chip-stone joints instead of pooling and freezing on top. Eight inches of open-graded base underneath, pulled in tight against an older foundation and matched into the existing walkway. Once the customer's shed goes in, this corner stays usable all winter.

Medford, MA — a driveway that will hold its color for years.

Just finished: 40 × 10 ft Unilock three-piece smooth driveway, with a new wall along the house we built last week. Sod strip and chip stone go in tomorrow to finish it off.

A driveway is only as good as what is under it. Loaded base, compacted right — that is why it stays flat.

Somerville, MA — no more rats, and a backyard that finally drains right.

Allan walks you through a finished job: a new gate locked in with heavy-gauge wire and 3/4-inch gravel underneath to keep rodents out, the original flagstone pulled up, regraded so water runs away from the house, and re-laid with wide-gap polysand. Fresh sod, and a Unilock Treo Smooth three-piece patio to finish it.
