Recent Lake Forest Projects:
Lake Forest has been the site of some of our most refined and technically demanding work on the North Shore. In the Conway Farms neighborhood, we transformed an outdated entryway using Valders dove white natural stone and Eden snapped veneer — carefully removing the old concrete steps, height-adjusting to the correct dimensions, and veneering with custom cut natural stone set in mortar for a seamless, permanent finish perfectly coordinated with the new driveway installation.
We have completed multiple bluestone patio, step, and walkway installations throughout Lake Forest — using full dimensional thermal bluestone set in mortar over poured concrete bases with weeping cords, mortared joints, and correct tread depth and riser height on every step installation. One complete backyard overhaul replaced an aging wooden deck entirely — with full regrading, a new thermal bluestone patio, custom steps, bluestone chip garden beds contained by steel edging, and a hot tub pad integrated directly into the patio layout.
We also installed a Unilock Brussels Dimensional Wall paired with Brussels Block walkway and steps on a Lake Forest property — with gravel drainage backfill behind the wall and an underground downspout routed through the wall to protect the foundation from roof runoff. This is the kind of drainage thinking that protects Lake Forest homes from the water management problems that Illinois winters create year after year.
