Backyard for Entertaining

Image
We wanted to separate the patio area from the yard and spa area. So we built a 4 ft wall with a planter which ties into the BBQ area as well. As you can see we did a smooth stucco finish which the customer wanted sealed not painted to have a gray appearance.  We used a tinted sealer for the wall caps to help tie it in with the flagstone overlay which we did after the major hardscape was done. The 10 foot BBQ is all block construction, with two access doors and a mini frig. We used a pour in place colored concrete counter-top with a rounded bull nose to add detail. Sedona Spas installed a spa with a surround kit, we overlay-ed it to match the patio.

Estrella Mountain Ranch - Archway Project

This customer wanted to create a courtyard feel in the front yard. Have two big archways to walk through that leads to the front door of the home. Plus add a paver walkway leading to the street that ties into the existing walkway.                                                                          After the footing was excavated and poured it was time to start laying block.  All block is laid and stuccoed, archways are built. Pavers are being installed, then two coats of self priming masonry paint to match the house.                                       All finished !!! Custom two piece gates to be installed.

The pool here suffered from a lot of traffic. We fixed some cracks, applied texture to match surrounding area then gave it two coats of cool deck paint.

 This pool was in need of new cool deck paint. It use to be a gray color that had major stains and some cracks. The cracks were repaired then textured to match surrounding areas, then two coats of cool deck paint were applied.

 This Homestead Hotel had a walkway with a major trip hazard that needed to be fix. Bust out the old and pour new concrete to meet existing walkway with a level transition.

Front yard Courtyard

 We cut a 4 foot opening in the existing property wall to install a metal gate which will lead to the new court yard.                     A 96 inch locking gate was custom built to keep people from approaching the front door.                          Skip trowel stucco finish was used to match the home and then painted.
