This was a fun and unique project we completed in Bountiful. Building a dedicated recess for a swim spa came with some great challenges such as the excavation, drainage, and complete yard grading ... all to keep the stone pool deck level and properly tied to the doors and driveway in the front yard. Take a look:

Here's a large concrete project we did in Davis County. It started with a large patio across the backyard with a new driveway that came in from the far side of the yard. We then tore out the old existing driveway that was falling apart, we graded, compacted and formed a broader driveway for the home. It really changed the entire curb appeal of this home.

We removed a major area of grass in this corner lot in Bountiful, Utah, and excavated and poured a large concrete patio slab with the electrical conduit set for a future pergola.

We completed a full backyard transformation a couple of years ago, creating a space that feels both beautiful and inviting. The project included integrating a pool with a surrounding paver patio, while thoughtfully blending it with the existing concrete for a seamless overall design. One of my favorite additions was the hot tub pad, along with the feature-rich seating area and fire pit that make it the perfect place to relax and gather.

At this Layton, Utah residence, we completed a multi-purpose backyard hardscape that includes excavation and concrete forming for a pool, along with the installation of interlocking pavers connecting the pool area to an existing concrete patio.

It's be a long time coming, but we're finally getting our hardwork published on our website. Feel free to take a look.

The first project I wanted to show off was this major backyard renovation we did awhile back. This project shows off quite a few different skills our team has from excavation of the swim spa dugout, to blending pavers with concrete, precise cutting of our stones, and a beautiful finishes with a fire pit, a bench and raised garden bed.

The project began with removing deteriorated grass and an old patio to prepare for a comprehensive backyard hardscape installation. Excavation was done to fit a swim spa, with a concrete base poured and a brick retaining wall frame completed around the spa area, including integrated drainage.
