Does your curb appeal need something more? A brick driveway changes how your whole house looks from the street, and built correctly it outlasts concrete and asphalt in Michigan’s climate. Installing a brick driveway that stands the test of time takes a team that knows what goes underneath it, and that’s something we’ve perfected at Mortar City Masonry.

Benefits of a Brick Driveway
Concrete and asphalt driveways crack over time. Much of the soil in Michigan communities is sandy, so water moves through it freely, and the shifting and settling that follows cracks a solid slab. Eventually the only fix is replacement.
A brick driveway is different. The pavers are laid over a compacted base designed to limit movement, and if an area settles, the bricks can be lifted and reset instead of torn out. The result is a beautiful driveway that is more affordable to maintain in the long run.

How We Build a Brick Driveway That Lasts
- Design: choose your brick color, pattern and borders to match your home.
- Excavation: we dig deep enough to remove unstable soil.
- Base: a properly compacted base is built to carry vehicles and drain water through Michigan’s freeze/thaw cycles.
- Installation: pavers are laid, cut and edge-restrained so the pattern stays tight.
- Finishing: joints are sanded and compacted, and the surface is cleaned.

How Much Does a Brick Driveway Cost?
The cost depends mostly on the size of the driveway, the brick you choose, the pattern and how much base preparation the site needs. Releveling an existing brick driveway usually costs less than a new installation because most of the material can be reused. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what to budget.
Brick Driveway FAQs
Will a brick driveway hold up to Michigan winters?
Yes, when it’s built on a proper base. Pavers flex with freeze/thaw movement instead of cracking, and any settled area can be reset.
Can I add brick borders to my concrete driveway?
Yes. Brick borders and aprons are a popular way to upgrade an existing concrete driveway.
Do you also build patios and walkways?
Yes. We build brick patios, walkways, porches and steps, and many clients match them to their driveway. See all of our brick paving services.
