PERFORMANCE YOU CAN COUNT ON.

“Paving the Way in Buford” – In the heart of Buford, Georgia, the downtown sidewalks were beginning to show their age, with cracked concrete, uneven edges, and fading charm. The city council, eager to honor Buford’s rich history while creating a more welcoming space, approved a streetscape improvement project that would transform the pedestrian experience. Local artisans and ESPE collaborated to design and choose brick pavers for their durability and timeless look. The new pavers, in warm earth tones with subtle patterns, not only improved safety and accessibility but also echoed the small-town character that Buford treasures. As shop owners watched the transformation outside their storefronts, the sidewalks became more than just pathways, they became gathering spots, photo backdrops, and a proud symbol of a city investing in its future while preserving its past.

The rooftop garden atop Atlanta’s City Hall features a carefully laid network of pedestal pavers that provide both function and aesthetic appeal to the elevated space. Chosen for their durability and slip-resistant surface, these pavers create accessible walkways that weave through the garden’s plantings while complementing the modern design of the building. Their neutral, earth-toned finish blends seamlessly with the surrounding greenery and skyline views, offering a warm yet professional atmosphere for visitors and staff. Installed with precision to ensure proper drainage and stability, the pavers help define gathering areas, seating zones, and scenic overlooks, transforming the rooftop into a functional urban oasis above the bustling streets below.

Once an eyesore for the locals and visitors alike the massive retention pond on North Ave was transformed into an oasis. The first ever project of the Atlanta Beltway in the Old Fourth Ward. In addition to the granite pavers, the park incorporates diverse hardscape materials emblematic of its layered, sustainable design: exposed aggregate concrete pavers from Hanover’s Prest Paver line; custom-blend glass aggregate pavers; and battered rock curbs all contributing to the park’s visual richness and functionality. Together, these materials provide both practical resilience and sculptural elegance, blending seamlessly with the park’s landscape architecture to create spaces that are as beautiful as they are built to last. In the West Plaza, the paving features a refined, light-toned stone that establishes a serene, terraced gathering space. Interspersed within this plaza are large, custom-shaped granite quarry stones — six of twenty-six thoughtfully designed to be interactive, with four integrated into the lowest wall as informal seating.

A private residence that wanted to create many different areas surrounding the pool. Porcelain and grass turf were used to reduce the heat effect of concrete pavers.
The private residential project surrounds a swimming pool and adjoining outdoor spaces. The design integrates porcelain pavers, turf, planting zones, and outdoor furniture layouts. The pavers’ color and thermal properties were coordinated with interior finishes to create visual continuity. Turf and other softer elements were used to break up the hardscape and offer relief from the sun.

An outdoor entertainment facility that created spectator seating and viewing areas using different shapes of pavers.
This outdoor entertainment and restaurant concept uses a mix of shaped and modular pavers to define seating terraces, walkways, and gathering zones. The design emphasizes visual hierarchy through varied paver formats and patterns. The concept is similar to plaza or retail hardscape strategies, supporting active social use and flexible space planning.

A simple yet classic use of pavers around an apartment complex pool. Compact but functional with white cement pavers to reduce heat.
At this residential pool area within the Cotton Commons complex, paver work defines the pool deck, access paths, and shaded lounge areas. The pavers were selected for slip resistance and cooling performance, using lighter tones to reduce surface heat. The layout balances efficiency of movement, pool adjacency, and hardscape/softscape transitions.

A large high-end apartment complex that needed a statement when entering the property for the first time.
Navona is a high-end multi-family development in Mesa. The entry and courtyard experience was enhanced with dramatic meandering paver layouts, accent bands, and transition zones between paving and landscaping. The goal was to deliver a memorable first impression by emphasizing texture, color variation, and pedestrian flow.

Small amenity level around a pool and other amenity features at a memory care center. Functional and comfortable design.
This project focuses on a memory care facility’s amenity level outdoors, with a smaller, human-scale design emphasizing comfort, accessibility, and safe circulation. The paving is intended to integrate seamlessly with adjacent planting zones, shade structures, and seating areas. Materials were selected for slip resistance, ease of maintenance, and sensitivity to the facility’s users.

Amenity center for a new single-family home community. 20,000 sf of artistic pavers with white cement to reduce heat retention.
For this single-family residential community amenity, the design calls for about 20,000 sf of decorative pavers across the amenity center, including pool courts, walkways, and gathering nodes. White cement or lighter paver blends are used to reduce solar heat gain. The pavers are laid in artistic patterns to reinforce brand identity and visual interest.
