Two Builds, One Yard
A renovation that became a relationship: one standout paver patio in year one, and years later, the call to come back and rebuild the deck too.

Scope of Work
The Challenge
Lisa's old concrete was tired and generic, the kind of slab nobody looks at twice. She wanted a patio that actually stood out, and later, a deck that would have to match that same standard.
What We Did
The whole thing turned on the border. Instead of a plain field of pavers, we built a custom border so the patio would read as a designed feature, not just a nicer slab. That standard is what she remembered years later, when she called us back to rebuild the deck so it would live up to what the patio had started.
From Vision to Reality
Design
We laid the patio out around its custom border and gave the pergola its own zone over a herringbone-paver field, so the yard had two areas that were distinct but still belonged together.
Build
We tore out the concrete, then laid two different paver patterns: the patio field wrapped by its custom border, and a herringbone run under the pergola we set over it.
Came Back
When the deck finally needed redoing, we did not just resurface it. We stripped it down and rebuilt from new framing up in composite, then wired lighting into the stairs and the post caps.
