On the McInerney's property, two entrances mark the start and finish of a meandering driveway which leads to a six-car garage. The driveway runs across the entire property and returns to the street in a horseshoe, while a walkway leads to an impressive pool deck. Sixteen-thousand square feet of driveway, walkway, courtyard and pool deck are paved.

An autumn blend color was selected in a mix of copper and brown, with a solid brown square in the middle of the parquet pattern and a solid brown border. These colors were selected to complement the color of the house itself, as well as to mask potential leaf stains on this heavily treed property. Solid colors were chosen to accent the border.

Contractor Joseph Biondo says his work with concrete masonry landscaping products got him into this exclusive residential market. "All I work with is concrete masonry. When we complete a job, it always looks better than expected. The blueprint doesn't do it justice," he says. Biondo is president of Biondo Brothers Inc., in Shelby Township, MI, which he partners with his brother Steven Biondo.
