New garage, no walkway. Problem solved.
Mac-Groveland, Saint Paul — 2025
A new garage deserved a proper connection to the rest of the yard.
Karen had recently had a new garage built at her Mac-Groveland home — a major upgrade, but one that left an unfinished gap. The new structure had no walkway connecting it to the house or the existing patio. Bare ground, no clear path, and a backyard that felt incomplete.
Karen already had an existing paver patio and knew exactly what she wanted — more of the same. Pavers made sense: she'd already seen how they perform through Minnesota winters, she liked the look, and connecting the new garage with matching material would tie the whole backyard together into one cohesive hardscape.
Willow Creek Brickstone in RoseCreek blend, laid in a running bond pattern. The warm brick-reds and charcoals of RoseCreek complement the yellow stucco and green trim of the garage perfectly. The walkway runs the full length of the structure and connects directly into the existing patio — one continuous surface, no mismatched materials, no awkward transitions.
Straightforward job. Done exactly right.
Excavation, base prep, and pavers going in.
Toro Dingo handling the excavation along the garage, dirt and base material piled and staged, then hand-grading and compaction before the Brickstone goes down. The existing patio edge visible at the connection point — the new walkway will tie directly into it.

Garage to patio. One continuous surface.
Willow Creek Brickstone RoseCreek in running bond — the warm brick-reds and charcoals against the yellow stucco and green garage trim is one of those combinations that just works. The walkway connects seamlessly to the existing patio at the far end, completing a backyard hardscape that now flows from the house all the way to the garage.

Paver walkway questions we hear all the time
How much does a paver walkway cost in Saint Paul, MN?
Paver walkways with Heritage Outdoors typically run $35–$50+ per square foot installed in the Twin Cities metro, depending on material, length, and site conditions. Heritage Outdoors has a $5,000 project minimum. Call 651-219-3668 for a free on-site estimate.
What is Willow Creek Brickstone?
Willow Creek Brickstone is a concrete paver with a classic rectangular brick format. Unlike tumbled cobble pavers, Brickstone has clean, defined edges and a smooth face — giving it a more traditional, formal look. Laid in a running bond pattern, it reads like classic brick without the maintenance or the cost of natural clay brick.
What is the Willow Creek RoseCreek color blend?
RoseCreek is Willow Creek's most popular color blend — warm brick-reds and charcoal tones that complement the stucco, painted siding, and natural stone common in Saint Paul's older neighborhoods. It's the most popular color Heritage Outdoors has personally installed in Saint Paul.
Can a paver walkway connect to an existing paver patio?
Yes — as long as the existing patio uses the same or a compatible paver product, a new walkway can be seamlessly tied in. In Karen's project, the new Willow Creek Brickstone walkway connects directly to her existing patio using the same material and running bond pattern, creating a continuous, cohesive hardscape layout.
