A deck built during winter pre-season

Here our customers took advantage of our discounted winter labor rates and had us build them a deck.  This particular deck utilized preasure treated lumber and took a few days.  Landscaping came later.

A pergola – Hobbs

Here Landmark Landscapes combined some construction skills with landscaping skills to package a nicely landscaped patio and pergola.  The pergola was built out of Cedar and was beefed up to handle additional weight from the swing.  It’s not visible but we actually have a steel beam built into this pergola so we new it could handle an additional 400 lb’s or so.

An outdoor courtyard

Here you have a charming outdoor courtyard effect.  Segmented block, pavers, color and contour, comprise the finished product.

Before Kitchen Remodel #1

Here is the first before picture of our kitchen prior to remodel by Landmark Landscapes.  Our bare minimum goal was the addition of granite counter tops.  Along the way the designer in Mark came to the surface and additional changes were to come.  In this picture,  Note: the center island’s length, cabinet hardware, obviously the counter top, sink and faucet, backsplash, and lighting, plus color schemes.

Castle Wall Hearth and Railing

Here is an example of Castle Wall Block application in the landscape.  In this photo, we utilized Castle Wall Block to build both a hearth and railing that can be used as a sitting wall.

Concrete culvert

Here we took on our first culvert project.  I’d say it turned out nicely for our first attempt at forming and pouring a culvert.

Concrete vs Pavers

We admit the tendency is towards paver’s but concrete works nicely as well.  Here is a before shot of pool project prior to concrete.

Continued upgrades to our first swing set

To think my family started with a swing set.  Maybe I felt I’d missed out on some portion of my childhood?  Maybe my sons thought it a great idea?  No matter how it transpired, this is our upgraded swing set.  It offers a working water faucet in addition to two fully functional water cannons.  The platforms add new meaning to water fights and serve as great defensive positions for my children to pummel me with water as I try to storm the fort.  If you or your children are into play and want to explore some fun construction projects in your back yard just give us a call.

Deumic – Castle wall and Holland pavers

Here we addressed not only the drainage issues but also added a nice sitting area and landscaping.  We used standard Holland pavers and Castle wall block to create a more open airy feel.  The deck was expanded upon and resurfaced with a composite product “Trex”.  Multiple levels were created.  Wire’s wereran throughout the project to allow for easy lighting installation later in life.  A dry creek bed and hidden drain tile direct water away from the house now.  All in all, a nice practical addition to an existing yard.

Duncan – A before Picture, drainage issues.

They are in need of a dry creek bed to help remove excess gutter run off.  Prior to this they having moisture in the basement.
