The problem

Where the job started

The landing in front of the porch sits between two stone walls, and it had to come apart down to the soil before it could be rebuilt properly.

What Korvex did

  1. Lift the old stone and stack it for reuse
  2. Dig out the landing
  3. Lay fabric over the soil
  4. Place and level a stone base

How we solved it

The hard parts of this job

  1. Landing dug out, pavers on the porch
    01

    Old pavers stacked on the porch

    The pavers came up and were stacked on the porch while the landing was dug out between the two stone walls.

  2. Fabric laid between the walls
    02

    Fabric from wall to wall

    Fabric covers the soil from the porch step to both side walls, and the stone base over it was levelled across the whole landing.
