Prepared for Lily
Complete Exterior Transformation Proposal
Town of Aurora · By Taishan Construction
Driveway, entrance, backyard and grounds — planned as one coordinated project. This proposal sets out the approved site plan, the itemized scope of work, and the exact order the property will be built in.
Project Overview
This is a full exterior transformation: site grading, a properly prepared base, a new asphalt driveway framed by an interlocking border, a natural stone or granite porch and steps, an interlocking patio in the rear yard, and a finished landscape of imported topsoil, fresh sod and an in-ground irrigation system.
The site plan and layout are reviewed together before a single machine arrives.
Excavation, grading, drainage and compacted base beneath every finished surface.
Confidence long after the final walkthrough.
One organized team from concept to completion.

Full front elevation
Paver aprons at the entry and garage set against the curved asphalt drive and its stone edge.

Project Timeline
The sequence matters as much as the workmanship. Hard surfaces are completed first, softscaping last — so no finished lawn is ever driven over.
Coordination with the Septic Installation
Honestly, the septic tank is not a hard variable for us. Site grading can begin at any time — we simply work every area of the property outside the septic footprint first. The finished surfaces around and over that area, along with the sodding, are scheduled once the septic tank is installed, so nothing we build has to be opened back up.
Stage One · Site Works
Everything begins below the surface. The site is excavated and graded so every finished elevation is correct before any material is installed. Grading is not dependent on the septic installation — we can begin on every area of the property outside the septic footprint at any time.
Stage Two · Hardscape
All hardscaping is completed before any soft landscaping begins — this keeps heavy equipment off finished lawn areas and protects the work.
Stage Three · Softscape
With the hard surfaces set, the yard is finished: final grading, imported topsoil, irrigation lines, then fresh sod. This stage follows the septic installation so the finished lawn is never disturbed.
Stage Four · Completion
The property is cleaned, the irrigation is tested and programmed, and we walk the finished project together.
