Paver patios, driveways and walkways in Isle of Palms
Pave the Way designs and installs paver patios, driveways and walkways in Isle of Palms, SC, along with retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and drainage. Every project starts with a 3D layout of your own property, so you approve the look before we build. We work with pavers and block from Techo-Bloc and Belgard and with natural stone such as travertine and bluestone.

Paver driveways built on a deeper, heavily compacted base for vehicle loads. Salt, sun and standing water are hard on driveways, so base depth and drainage come first. -

Paver and natural-stone walkways and steps that stay level and safe. Sand and moisture make walkways slick, so we choose textured surfaces and plan drainage. -

Segmental block retaining and seating walls built with drainage behind them. Coastal soil and water pressure make drainage behind every wall essential. -

Block-and-veneer outdoor kitchens with openings for your appliances. Salt air is hard on hardware and appliances, so we plan materials and openings with that in mind. -
