In a region where curb appeal can make or break a home’s value, Southern California homeowners are rethinking one of the most overlooked features of their property: the driveway. At the forefront of this change is NexGen Remodeling, a company that’s turning basic concrete slabs into beautiful, custom-crafted entrances.
More than just a place to park
For NexGen Remodeling, a driveway isn’t just a strip of pavement, it’s the opening act of a home’s story. Whether it’s a hillside estate in Beverly Hills or a sleek modern home in Orange County, their work starts with design and ends with a lasting first impression.
BEFORE
AFTER
Pavers are at the heart of many of these transformations. Unlike plain concrete, pavers come in a variety of textures, shapes, and colors, giving each driveway a unique and elevated look. “There’s something timeless about the way a stone driveway feels,” said Lauren Weiss, a recent client. “It instantly changed how people see our home.”
Built for beauty and durability
NexGen offers several styles of pavers, from European cobblestone-inspired patterns to clean, modern lines using porcelain and high-performance interlocking stones. Beyond the aesthetic upgrade, pavers offer practical benefits too. They’re less likely to crack, easier to repair, and built to handle the heavy weight of vehicles without shifting.
Every installation is handled by skilled crews who focus on details like drainage, slope, and alignment. The goal is to create driveways that are not only eye-catching but also long-lasting and low-maintenance.
Green design that doesn’t cut corners
NexGen also integrates environmentally friendly options into its driveway designs. Permeable pavers, one of their most requested features, allow rainwater to flow through the surface rather than pooling or running off. It’s a simple, elegant solution that’s especially important in drought-prone areas like Southern California.
And the beauty of it? You’d never guess it’s a “green” product just by looking. The finishes are just as polished, just as luxurious.
From overlooked to unforgettable
Homeowners often say they didn’t realize how much a driveway could transform their home’s appearance, until they saw the finished product. Before-and-after photos reveal just how dramatic these changes can be, turning dull, aging concrete into elegant entrances worthy of the homes they serve.
