One property, several connected improvements: driveway replacement and drainage correction, a stamped front walkway and porch, plus a broom-finished backyard patio with a fire-pit sitting area.
This Greece homeowner needed more than a single patio or driveway. The work connected the front approach, garage, drainage and backyard living space into one coordinated project.
During construction, water pooling near the driveway required a change in approach. Rochester Patio Pros adjusted the plan, installed a channel drain in front of the garage and routed the collected water through underground pipe toward a dry well in the backyard.
The finished property combines practical broom-finished concrete with decorative stamped concrete, landscape stone, paver edging and a dedicated fire-pit area.
The failing asphalt near the garage was removed and replaced with reinforced concrete. The corrected drainage plan helps direct water away from the garage instead of allowing it to collect at the approach.
Decorative stamped concrete was used for the front walkway, landing and porch, creating a more finished approach to the home while keeping the connected surfaces visually consistent.
A broom-finished concrete patio created the main usable surface. The surrounding work added a fire-pit sitting area, decorative stone, paver edging and stepping-stone connections.

Good exterior concrete starts below the finished surface. Base depth, reinforcement, concrete thickness, drainage and control-joint layout should respond to the soil, slope, loads and use of each area.
For a typical residential driveway, Rochester Patio Pros commonly uses a compacted stone base, rebar at approximately 24 inches on center and a six-inch concrete slab. Final specifications are confirmed for the actual site; patios and walkways have different load and thickness requirements.

Yes. A failing asphalt section can be removed and replaced with concrete when the transition, base, reinforcement and drainage are planned for the property. This Greece project replaced the problem area closest to the garage.
The solution depends on the property. On this Greece project, the plan combined corrected surface drainage with a channel drain in front of the garage and underground piping that carried the collected water toward a backyard dry well.
Yes. This Greece project used stamped concrete at the front walkway and porch, while the backyard patio used a broom finish. Combining finishes can put decorative concrete in high-visibility areas and practical, slip-resistant concrete where function is the priority.
A typical Rochester Patio Pros driveway specification uses six-inch concrete over a compacted stone base, with reinforcement such as rebar. Soil, slope, drainage and vehicle loads can change the final specification.
