Before and afters that say it all.

This high-end paver restoration required more than a simple repair. We removed the siding and flashing first, with the help of Carp's Complete Exteriors

Then, we removed existing pavers, corrected the failing base, restored the materials, and reinstalled everything with precision. The result is a level, durable, and beautiful outdoor space built to last.

When we were finished Carp’s worked their magic and brought the whole thing together.

Sometimes you have to think BIGGER than you are.

Can anyone guess how much more that machine weighs than I do?

Paver Porch Restoration

From Start to Finish — In Photos

What looks like a simple front porch can often hide years of settlement beneath the surface.

For this restoration, sections of the porch had sunk significantly, creating uneven surfaces and poor drainage. To properly correct the issue, we carefully removed every paver, laying them out like a life size puzzle.

Once removed, each paver was cleaned and restored for reuse. We then excavated the failed base material, rebuilt the foundation with proper compaction and grading, and meticulously reinstalled every piece to its original pattern and elevation.

The result is a front porch that not only looks beautiful but is built on a foundation designed to perform for years to come.

Quality restoration isn’t about covering up problems—it’s about correcting them at their source.

Guess I’ll stick to building walls instead of joining the circus.

Nothing transforms a brick restoration project quite like properly grout bagging the mortar joints. This step isn’t just about appearance — it’s about preserving the structure, sealing out water, and bringing old masonry back to life the right way.

On restoration work, details matter. Matching the mortar, packing joints correctly, and tooling everything clean makes the difference between a patch job and a restoration built to last. We take pride in keeping historic and aging brick looking sharp while maintaining the integrity of the structure for years to come.

Clean joints. Solid bond. No shortcuts. 🧱💪

Also in the main bed is broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, big and small, beans , bunch of cucumber, onions, carrots, and maybe something else

Some buckets -containing flowers to attract pollinators, a blueberry bush and a larger cucumber and tomato plants.

Super cool! Way to go Taryn!

Omaha native Taryn Smith became the first American woman to complete the World’s Toughest Row solo after spending 46 days crossing 3,000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean alone in a 24-foot rowboat. Battling towering waves, exhaustion, isolation, and unpredictable weather, Smith transformed a yearslong dream into a historic achievement that also raised more than $40,000 for Girls on the Run of Nebraska. Along the way, the lifelong adventurer drew on memories of Nebraska lakes, support from her family, and sheer determination to push through some of the most physically and mentally demanding moments of her life — ultimately rowing into Antigua and into the record books.
