Looking at these relationships early can help create better transitions between surfaces. H&M Construction plans residential masonry projects around the existing property, including grades, drainage, access and surrounding exterior features.

Explore Outdoor Living →Replacing one exterior surface can sometimes reveal opportunities to improve the areas around it. New front steps may meet an older walkway, for example, or a driveway replacement may change how the entrance and adjoining paved areas should transition.
Planning those connections before construction can create a cleaner result and help prevent awkward changes in height or materials between neighboring surfaces.
In the backyard, the same approach applies to patios, steps and walls. The available space, access from the home, landscaping and elevation changes all influence how individual masonry features fit together.
The finished pavers or stone are only one part of a successful masonry project. Existing conditions should first be evaluated, including the base, drainage, slopes, neighboring surfaces and changes in elevation.
For projects involving several areas, it may make sense to plan the improvements together even if the work is completed in stages. This can help establish appropriate elevations and transitions between driveways, walkways, steps, patios and retaining walls.
