Backyard for Entertaining

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.

The King of Barber-Que's

This 20 foot BBQ was built at a Troon North home for a customer that really enjoys being outside and grilling !  This was built using concrete block , we incorporated this large boulder to give it a piece of Troon right in the BBQ. The counter top is made of concrete then we overlayed the counter top with a high strength acrylic cement to customize the surface. The counter was given a chiseled edge and a stone grain surface . A 6 burner stainless steel grill was used in this unit , we also installed a small refrigerator , stainless steel sink, plus storage draws . Last but not least to this monster outdoor kitchen , we added a wood pergola which we stained black to pick up the black in the native boulders.

Surface Grinding & Preparation

 As you see in this picture, the masonry paint is failing. The bond has been broken and now the paint is peeling everywhere.  We can grind the surface with minimal damage to the concrete and remove the paint or epoxy or coatings. After grinding the surface we also pressure wash and de-grease surface to insure a clean prepped surface.  At this point the surface is ready for many different options. Such as concrete stain and sealer, stamped overlay, stencil overlays or a high quality, deep penetrating concrete paint. Or the concrete can be resurfaced to bring it back to its original state or but be left the way it is.
