Beautiful Deck

Here are some before & afters of a walk-out basement deck area we finished up.  Shout out to Hickory Dickory Decks for the wood deck above our concrete work!


BEFORE:
A patio stone area looking drab

All ready for concrete - the deck by Hickory Dickory Decks is all installed.

Our crew starting the first pour.

AFTER: 
A beautiful Mountain Ridge deck area with a Random Fieldstone sidewalk.  Riverstone completes the look.  A retaining wall along the driveway matches perfectly.




The mountain ridge stamp with custom borders.

A retaining wall in the same colouring - rough rock stamp with a custom chisel pattern.


The random fieldstone sidewalk leads right to the door and the borders look awesome next to it!

Seamlessly fits together

The back deck spans the whole back of the house.



Another matching retaining wall on the other side of the house.

Backyard on the Water

Take a look at this beautiful backyard we completed recently!  What an awesome spot for the homeowners to enjoy their gorgeous view.  The terrible "before" pictures are up first!

BEFORE:
As you can see, the backyard was not being utilized well.

The first step was ripping down this deck.




By ripping down the deck, we got rid of these view-inhibiting posts.  All the brick and stone came out, too.



AFTER:
This space has been transformed!  A new stamped concrete deck in the mountain ridge pattern is the focal point.

Beautiful armour stone retaining wall with natural stone gardens and river stone.






Look how gorgeous!

Mountain ridge stamped steps leading down to their dock.















Look at that view!  Who wouldn't want to be enjoying their afternoon out here?!

Boosting Curb Appeal

Here are a couple fabulous entrances completed over the past week or so!


This home had a flagstone sidewalk that was falling apart, cracked, stones were loose - it was a mess and a hazard!  We came in, dug it out, laid a great base, and poured this beautiful exposed aggregate sidewalk.  We sealed it up this week and it looks amazing!



This family will be enjoying this sidewalk for years to come!  

This is the mountain ridge stamp in nutmeg with a cocoa brown release.  We added a smooth border - black trowel finish.

The riverstone surround makes for a low-maintenance great look!

Backyard Retreat

We completed this backyard retreat last summer for a customer on the river.  Updated pictures from this summer show how beautiful it is with plants in the gardens!

We will start the tour at the front of the house where we put in an exposed aggregate driveway and steps.


We also added this mulch and rock garden at the front of the house.

As you walk into the backyard, this gorgeous view awaits!  Many levels of gardens with a concrete stairway as the focal point.

We brought in all the natural stone, mulch, built retaining walls, poured and built a fire pit, and of course did the staircase.

A view from below.


Beautiful natural stone and flagstone for the gardens plus the concrete stairway.

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful tour!  Call or e-mail us for pricing on your dream backyard before summer is over.
