We recently completed the installation of a new rear patio and front walkway for this client. The existing driveway, installed by a previous contractor, exhibited improper grading in several areas, leading to significant water accumulation in a low spot. Given the client's current budgetary constraints, a full driveway replacement was not feasible. Therefore, we implemented a drainage solution and re-graded specific sections to mitigate the immediate issue. It is also important to note that the original driveway was constructed with insufficient thickness, directly on soil, and without proper reinforcement, contributing to its current state of deterioration.
This situation underscores the importance of selecting qualified professionals for construction projects. Prioritizing cost over quality can often lead to more significant expenses and complications in the long run.
In addition to the patio and walkway, we installed an underground downspout to manage water runoff and re-graded the backyard to ensure proper drainage away from the residence.
