Luxury Paver Driveway Installation in Knoxville TN
This project marked the next phase of the original backyard renovation, focusing on replacing an aging concrete driveway with a long-term, higher-performing solution. After seeing the results of the initial work, the homeowners wanted to continue upgrading their exterior with materials that matched the quality and durability of the rest of the project.
Our team at Property Docktors removed the failing concrete driveway and rebuilt the entire area from the ground up using Unilock Copthorne luxury pavers. The result is a driveway that looks cleaner, performs better, and is built to last for decades.

Client Goals
The homeowners wanted to move away from cracked concrete and invest in a driveway that would hold up long term while elevating curb appeal. Since this work followed the original Heckethorn project, consistency in quality and appearance was important.
Their main goals included:
-
- Replacing failing concrete with a stronger, more durable surface
- Improving drainage and base stability
- Using premium materials that complement the existing hardscape
- Completing the project efficiently with minimal disruption
Our Process
We began by fully removing the existing concrete and underlying base material. From there, the driveway was rebuilt using a properly engineered foundation designed to support vehicle traffic and prevent future settling.
Our installation process included:
-
- Full tear-out of old concrete and base materials
- Installation of geotextile fabric for separation and stability
- Placement and compaction of 80 tons of base stone
- Integration of a drainage system to manage water properly
- Installation of Unilock Copthorne pavers in a 3 Color Blend pattern
- Finishing joints with Taupe Nitro X jointing sand for durability and clean lines
Unilock Copthorne pavers are factory-sealed and rated to be up to four times stronger than poured concrete, making them an ideal choice for driveways in Knoxville’s climate.
