Pasadena Driveway
Remodeling Project
This Pasadena driveway remodeling project transformed an old asphalt driveway into a clean courtyard-style paver driveway with Angelus gray charcoal pavers, proper grading, compacted base preparation, and a more refined curb appeal experience.

- Remove the existing asphalt driveway surface.
- Prepare proper grading and compacted base structure.
- Install Angelus gray charcoal courtyard-style pavers.
- Improve drainage direction and driveway alignment.
- Create a cleaner curb appeal upgrade for the home.

In Progress

Built On A Proper
Compacted Base
Base preparation is one of the most important parts of a driveway project. Proper excavation, grading, compaction, and layout help the finished pavers perform under vehicle use.
Driveway Hardscape
Materials
This Pasadena driveway used a simple, durable hardscape system designed for curb appeal, drainage performance, and daily vehicle use.
Project Investment
$22,000+
Final pricing depends on driveway size, demolition requirements, grading, excavation depth, base preparation, paver selection, drainage work, access, and finish details.
