Masonry Contractor serving Benton, AR

Here in Benton, we see more homeowners choosing paver driveways over traditional concrete or asphalt. Pavers offer flexibility that solid concrete cannot match. They expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. If a section settles or a utility line needs repair, you can lift and replace individual pavers rather than tearing out the entire driveway. Pavers also come in countless colors, shapes, and patterns that let you create a unique look for your property.

The challenge with paver driveways in Benton is our clay soil. Clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which causes settling if the base is not prepared correctly. We excavate deep enough to get below the active soil layer. Then we install a thick, compacted gravel base that provides stable support. Proper edge restraints keep pavers from shifting over time. We also grade the driveway to direct water away from your garage and foundation.

For walkways, pavers offer both beauty and function. A well-designed walkway guides visitors to your front door while adding curb appeal. We create straight paths, curved designs, or elaborate patterns depending on your preference. Many customers in Benton choose brick pavers to match their home exterior or contrasting stone for visual interest. Walkway pavers need the same careful base preparation as driveways to prevent settling. Our paver installations are built to last for decades with minimal maintenance. We handle everything from design to final installation and cleanup.

Stone veneer is one of the smartest investments you can make in your Benton home. It dramatically improves curb appeal, increases property value, and requires virtually no maintenance once installed. We install natural and manufactured stone veneer on homes throughout Benton. You can use stone as an accent around your entry, on entire facades, or to update plain siding. The transformation is immediate and impressive.

Modern manufactured stone veneer looks remarkably realistic while weighing much less than natural stone. This makes it suitable for applications where full stone would require structural reinforcement. Premium brands like Eldorado Stone and Cultured Stone offer dozens of styles from rustic ledgestone to smooth contemporary finishes. Natural stone veneer uses real stone cut thin and installed like tile. Both options are durable and low maintenance when installed with proper waterproofing.

The key to successful stone veneer installation is keeping water out. We install weather barriers and metal lath before applying stone. This creates a drainage plane so any moisture that gets behind the veneer can escape. We also pay special attention to flashing around windows, doors, and where the stone meets other materials. Poor installation leads to trapped moisture, rot, and costly repairs. Our professional installers have years of experience and follow manufacturer guidelines exactly. Many customers in Benton choose stone veneer when preparing to sell because it delivers excellent return on investment. Real estate agents consistently tell us that stone veneer helps homes sell faster and for higher prices.
