Custom Patios & Landscaping in Batavia, IL | G Construction & Landscape
Batavia’s mix of historic charm and newer development calls for outdoor spaces that feel warm and inviting while standing up to Midwest weather. G Construction & Landscape provides full-service design and installation of paver patios, walkways, steps, retaining walls, and drainage systems for Batavia homeowners. We’re familiar with sloped river-area lots, narrow side yards, and older homes that need careful grading and water management. Our designs prioritize function first—stable surfaces, proper pitch, and good access—then layer in style with quality pavers, stone, and lighting. If your Batavia yard feels small, dated, or muddy, we can rework the layout to create usable zones for eating, lounging, and gathering around a fire feature.

What Sets Us Apart
We’re a small, quality-first team. That means your project gets real attention—from the design details to the foundation work you’ll never see (but will absolutely feel over time).
We build by proven standards and manufacturer guidelines, with a heavy focus on proper base preparation, grading, and drainage—because long-term results are earned before the first paver is ever laid. You’ll also notice the difference in how we run projects: clear communication, clean job sites, and a customer-first approach that makes the process smooth from start to finish.
Paver Patio Installation in Batavia, IL (Built for Freeze/Thaw + Proper Drainage From Day One)
G Construction & Landscape
If you’re searching “paver patio installation Batavia IL” or “paver patio contractor near me,” you’re usually looking for a patio that looks high-end and stays level through Illinois winters. We design and install premium paver patios in Batavia with the performance details that prevent settling and shifting: correct excavation depth, a properly compacted base, strong edge restraint, and tight joint finishing. We also plan pitch and runoff control from the start so water doesn’t sit on the surface or run back toward the foundation—because in Batavia, drainage issues can turn a beautiful patio into a maintenance problem fast. When you want a patio that feels custom (borders, accents, lighting-ready planning, steps/landings), we build it as one complete outdoor living system—not a “surface-only” install.
Yard Drainage Solutions in Batavia, IL (French Drains, Catch Basins, Downspout Routing + Grading Fixes)
G Construction & Landscape
“Yard drainage Batavia IL” searches usually come from the same problems: standing water, soggy turf, erosion, and water collecting near patios or the home. We start with a real drainage diagnosis—how water flows across the yard during storms, where downspouts discharge, and where low spots trap water—then build the right fix for the property: regrading for positive drainage, catch basins to collect surface water, French drains for saturated areas, and downspout tie-ins/routing that moves roof water to a safer discharge point. Batavia also follows the Kane County Stormwater Ordinance with Batavia-specific amendments, so drainage work needs to be done thoughtfully and correctly. Batavia, IL+1
Permeable Pavers in Batavia, IL (Premium Look + Smarter Stormwater Performance)
G Construction & Landscape
If you’re searching “permeable pavers Batavia IL,” you’re likely trying to reduce puddling and runoff while still getting a luxury finish. Permeable paver systems are designed to let water move through the joints into an engineered stone base below—helping manage stormwater more effectively in the right applications. We evaluate slope, soil conditions, and overflow routing first, then design the system so it performs long-term (because permeable pavers only “work” when the base, edge restraint, and maintenance plan are built into the project). This is a strong option for patios, walkways, and certain driveway areas where drainage is a constant headache—especially when you want an upscale look without the pooling water. Batavia, IL
Paver Driveways & Driveway Aprons in Batavia, IL (Heavy-Duty Base + Right-of-Way Permitting)
G Construction & Landscape
Batavia homeowners searching “paver driveway Batavia IL” want curb appeal—but the real value is durability and proper water management. We install paver driveways with traffic-rated base depth, proper compaction, and edge restraint designed for vehicle loads and snow removal. If the project includes the driveway apron or any work near the curb/sidewalk, Batavia may require Right-of-Way permitting and additional driveway-apron paperwork, and the City’s ROW permit guidance specifically calls out driveway apron replacements (and other right-of-way work).

Front Walkways & Service Walks in Batavia, IL (Curb Appeal + Safe Access in All Seasons)
G Construction & Landscape
“Paver walkway Batavia IL” and “front walkway pavers near me” searches usually mean cracked concrete, awkward entry flow, or slippery/uneven access during snow and wet-leaf season. We build paver walkways and front entry hardscapes that feel intentional and high-end: comfortable width, clean layout lines, correct pitch, durable edging, and transitions that match the home and driveway. In Batavia, work that touches the public right-of-way (including certain service walk/sidewalk items) may require a ROW permit, so we plan layout and logistics accordingly. Core Docs+1
Retaining Walls, Garden Walls & Grade Transitions in Batavia, IL (Solve Slopes + Keep Everything Stable)
G Construction & Landscape
If you’re searching “retaining wall contractor Batavia IL,” you’re usually dealing with a slope, erosion, failing edges, or a yard that needs structure to become usable. We build retaining walls and garden walls with the foundation and drainage details that matter—so walls don’t lean, separate, or move after wet seasons and freeze/thaw. We also design walls as part of the overall site plan (patio, steps, walkway, drainage), because water pressure and poor runoff control are a common reason walls fail. Batavia code also includes specific driveway-related setback guidance when a driveway requires a retaining wall, which is why planning grade transitions correctly matters. American Legal Publishing
Batavia, IL Hardscaping & Drainage FAQ
G Construction & Landscape
Q: Do I need a permit for driveway apron work or sidewalk/parkway work in Batavia?
A: If the work is in the right-of-way (curb/sidewalk/parkway areas), Batavia requires a Right-of-Way permit for many project types, and the City’s ROW permit application specifically lists driveway apron replacements and other ROW work. Core Docs+1
Q: Does Batavia require sump pumps to discharge to a junction box in the parkway?
A: Batavia’s code includes a requirement for a sump pump junction box (with specified minimum dimensions) generally located in the parkway, and the sump pump service is required to connect to that junction box. American Legal Publishing
Q: Can I discharge sump pump water into the sanitary sewer in Batavia?
A: Batavia actively addresses inflow & infiltration issues and notes sump pump water must be redirected to yards or storm sewers, with inspections identifying illegal connections over time. Batavia, IL
Q: What’s the best fix for standing water or a soggy yard in Batavia?
A: It depends on the cause. Many Batavia yards need a combination approach: correct grading first (so water has a path), collect surface water where it naturally gathers (catch basins), and move it to a proper discharge point (drain line/French drain) while also rerouting downspouts that dump water into low areas. Because Batavia follows the Kane County Stormwater Ordinance (with local amendments), drainage fixes should be designed as a system—not a quick patch. Batavia, IL
Q: Are permeable pavers worth it in Batavia?
A: If puddling/runoff is a recurring problem, permeable pavers can be a great solution in the right locations because they’re designed to move water through the surface into an engineered base. The key is correct design (slope + overflow routing) and correct installation so performance lasts long-term. Batavia, IL
Q: Why do some paver patios or walkways sink after winter?
A: The usual causes are underbuilt base depth, weak compaction, missing/weak edge restraint, and unmanaged water saturating the base before freeze/thaw. In Batavia, getting runoff and drainage correct is a major part of preventing movement and joint washout. Batavia, IL
Q (extra Batavia-specific): If my project needs work in the right-of-way, what paperwork is commonly required?
A: Batavia’s ROW permit checklist commonly calls for items like a plat of survey highlighting the work area, and notes additional items for certain job types (for example, driveway apron permit paperwork/recording fee when applicable). It also calls out that you should contact J.U.L.I.E. for utility locates before excavating. Core Docs
