Brian-Kyles Landscapes of DistinctionClose-up of Trex Transcends used to build the steps and concrete coloring/pattern.
We demolished the existing rear deck, installed Trex landing and steps, stamped concrete patio, and landscaping. A Trex staircase was constructed using Trex Transcends, Spiced Rum color. A privacy lattice and fence was constructed from cedar and stained with the color stain selected by the client. We then installed approximately 445 square feet of concrete for a patio and stamped it to resemble the color variation of the three samples of stone veneer left at the residence. The blended stamp pattern is a "skin" designed to resemble the natural look of stone. Additional work included repairing and turf/grass damage resulting from the construction on site (may be seen in photographs as they were taken before new grass had grown), and select landscaping improvements around the patio.
Fiberon DeckingThis unique courtyard was configured to create zones for cooking, eating and entertaining. A separation wall creates a cozy vibe for each zone. Plus, stair and deck lighting pucks were added so this space can be enjoyed into the evening. The dividing wall, deck flooring and cabinets are made with Fiberon Horizon 'Castle Gray' composite decking material.
