Patios & Back Yards
Whole yards taken from dirt to a finished slab, scored on a grid and pitched so the water leaves the house.
All eight services
What we pour
Steps cast in one pour, decks finished for wet feet.
Entry steps, garden stairs and pool surrounds: risers even, arrises straight off the edger, and surfaces textured for bare feet, not for a photo.
How we do it
The job behind the photograph.
Steps are the least forgiving thing on this list. Risers have to be even to the eye and the foot, because a half-inch difference between two steps is the one everyone stumbles on. So they are formed as a set and cast in one pour, edges run straight with the edger while the concrete is still workable. No cold joints between treads, no patched noses.
Pool decks are a different problem: the surface lives wet. The finish has to grip a bare foot without grating it, drain away from the water without a visible tilt, and take sun and pool chemistry without powdering. A fine broom, a salt finish or a light texture does that; a hard steel trowel, glassy when wet, does not, so we will talk you out of it.
Curved steps into a pool shell, cantilevered coping, and decks poured around existing equipment pads are all formed and poured to the shape that is there. The forms come off when the concrete says so, not when the schedule does.
