New Hardscape Against an Older House
Huntington Woods is a neighborhood of established houses on mature streets. Work that reads as new is work that got the material and the proportion wrong.
Match the masonry before matching the catalog
The house already set the palette. A clay brick paver is fired brick, with the color running through the unit rather than painted on the surface, which is why it sits naturally beside original brick and keeps doing it decades later.
Where the house is stone or painted, a concrete paver in a muted blend or a natural bluestone usually reads better than trying to find a brick that nearly matches. Nearly matching is worse than clearly contrasting.
Get the proportions right at the front door
Front walks on older houses are often narrower than they should be, because the original was poured to the cheapest dimension. A walk wide enough for two people to use together changes how the entrance feels before anyone notices the material.
Landings follow the same rule. A landing that only just clears the door swing looks like an afterthought. Rebuilding it to a proper depth is usually a small part of the cost of the job. See porches, steps and walkways.

Common Questions
Can you match the brick on my house?
Sometimes closely, rarely exactly, and exactly is usually not the goal. Original house brick has aged for decades and no new unit reproduces that. What works is picking a paver that sits in the same color family and letting the difference read as deliberate rather than as a failed match.
Is clay brick more expensive than concrete paver?
Generally yes, per square foot, and the range on both is wide enough that the comparison depends on which products you are putting side by side. The argument for clay is that the color is the fired clay itself, so it does not soften over the years the way a pigmented surface can.
Will new work damage mature trees or established beds?
It is something we look at during the estimate, because it affects where equipment goes and how the excavation is done. If a plan puts a surface somewhere that would cause a problem, we would rather redraw the plan than build it and hope.
Do you do work that is just repair rather than replacement?
Yes. Resetting a settled section, re-sanding joints, rebuilding a few steps and repointing failing mortar are all normal jobs for us. On an older property that is often the sensible first move. See our brick repair and tuckpointing page.
How disruptive is a front entrance rebuild?
The entrance is out of use while it is being built, so we plan the sequence around keeping a way in and out of the house. The timeline depends on the size of the job and we give you one before the work starts, not after.
