 | Concrete
Edging/Curbing
-----------------------------------------
You can outline
and define fields of concrete with 6- to 24-inch wide strips of concrete in a
contrasting color or texture, or of brick or stone. This type of installation
generally requires at least two separate pours |
 | Concrete
Stamping
-----------------------------------------
Stamping tools
emboss the surface of freshly poured concrete or a top coat of polymer concrete
with patterns or textures of brick, cobblestone, natural stone or tile. Dust-on
hardeners or chemical stains can add more natural hue variations. |
 | Exposed
Aggregate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small, colorful pebbles or rocks are embedded in the top surface. They are revealed
when the cement “paste” is washed, chemically etched, or sandblasted.

 | Retaining
Walls
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retaining walls are a great way to create a more useful, beautiful, and sometimes
safer landscape around your home. If, for example, your back door opens up to
a steep hill (up- or down-sloping), robbing you of level area for a patio or lawn,
build a single, tall retaining wall across the yard a distance from the house
and level the terrain between the house and the wall. Or, if you prefer a terraced
landscape for plantings and gardens, tame a too-steep slope with two or more low
retaining walls.

 | Sprinkler
Installation & Irrigation Systems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure that you're newly landscaped yard remains alive and vibrant. Install the
necessary drainage and irrigation so that your grass, plants, flowers and trees
always receive the correct amount of water. Systems can include a control system
to automatically water on a pre-defined schedule.
|
 | Gates
and Trellises
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define your entrance, protect your privacy, or just add a little curb appeal with
aesthetically pleasing gates and trellises. The addition of a structure that will
shade the patio area on hot central valley days will also extend your living space.
