Paver Driveway Extension Adds Space and Curb Appeal in Ankeny

A lot of driveways just weren't built with enough space. You pull in, someone's parked slightly off to the side, or you're squeezing between the garage and the lawn every single time. That's exactly the kind of problem a driveway extension solves - and when it's done with pavers, it looks intentional, not like an afterthought.

This Ankeny home had a solid concrete driveway already in place. What it needed was more usable width. We extended it using a darker, textured paver laid in a classic herringbone-style pattern, framed with a clean border detail that ties the whole surface together. The contrast between the paver extension and the existing concrete actually works in its favor - it gives the driveway a finished, two-tone look rather than trying to blend everything into one.

That border work matters more than people realize. It's what separates a clean install from one that just looks thrown together. We take the time to get those lines crisp and the edges set properly, because that's what holds up over time and keeps the finished product looking sharp.

Paver work like this is a solid investment for any homeowner. It adds functional square footage to your driveway, holds up well through Iowa winters, and genuinely improves how the front of the home reads from the street. Whether you're thinking about a full patio installation or a smaller concrete project like this, the same attention to detail applies across the board.

This is one of those jobs where the result speaks for itself. More parking, better flow, and a front elevation that looks like it was always meant to look this way.
