A front entrance walkway does more than connect the driveway to the front door — it sets the tone for the entire property. This recent project in Lincolnshire, Illinois is a perfect example of how the right material, the right color, and the right installation make a front entrance feel finished, intentional, and genuinely elevated.
National Brick Paver & Stone designed and installed a new front entrance walkway in Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth in Steel Mountain — a sophisticated, cool-toned paver that ties seamlessly into the existing driveway and front entry architecture of the home. Beacon Hill Smooth delivers a refined, contemporary surface with the engineered structural performance that Unilock is known for — built to handle Illinois freeze-thaw cycles without shifting, cracking, or fading.
Steel Mountain is one of Unilock's most versatile colorways — a cool blend of greys and charcoals that works beautifully with brick, stone, and contemporary home exteriors throughout the North Shore. The color choice here was deliberate — creating a cohesive visual connection from the driveway to the front door that feels designed rather than assembled.
Every walkway we install is excavated to proper depth, built on a compacted engineered base, and graded correctly for drainage — the foundation details that determine whether a paver walkway stays flat and level for 30 years or begins shifting and sinking within a few seasons. The installation was hand-crafted to fit the exact dimensions and layout of this Lincolnshire property — custom cut at the borders, tight joints throughout, and a finished edge that defines the walkway cleanly against the surrounding landscape.
The result is a front entrance that adds immediate curb appeal, genuine property value, and a welcoming arrival experience that this home simply did not have before.
