01 — Overview

This backyard transformation showcases our team’s innovative design and craftsmanship, creating a space that perfectly balances functionality, style, and unique personal touches. The project was completed last spring (2023) and has since become a standout feature for the homeowner.

Design Approach

We began the project by installing a series of custom-formed 3×5 concrete pavers that were poured on-site and finished with a brushed texture for a modern yet timeless aesthetic. These pavers were thoughtfully placed to create a patio sitting area, complemented by a sleek band of gravel outlining the entire perimeter.

For the walkway, we incorporated 2×2 concrete pavers paired with Blackstar gravel, creating a cohesive yet distinct zone within the backyard. Between the pavers, we added lush spring turf, enhancing both the visual appeal and usability of the space. In total, the project spanned approximately 1,300 to 1,400 square feet of artificial turf and usable space.

The most unique aspect of this project was a special request from the homeowner to integrate a ski lift chair they had acquired from Showboat, Colorado. Our team built a custom framework and securely installed this one-of-a-kind feature, adding a personal and playful touch to the backyard.
