New Concrete Walkway with Full Landscaping and Fence Work

This one had a lot going on. We weren't just pouring concrete - we were rebuilding the whole front approach from the ground up. Old cracked walkway, overgrown bushes, a flowerbed rockwall that had seen better days, and a side gate that wasn't functioning right. A lot of homeowners deal with one of these problems at a time. This customer had all of them at once.

Demo came first. We cut out the old concrete with a demo saw, marked and capped existing sprinkler heads so nothing got damaged during the pour, and cleared the bushes that were crowding the entry. Once the ground was prepped and the forms were set, we poured a fresh walkway with a 1% water pitch on the porch - that's not a detail most people think about, but it's what keeps water from pooling and sitting against your foundation over time.

The landscaping side got just as much attention. We laid welded steel edging to keep everything clean and defined, put down a weed barrier before topping it with Black Star 5/8 rock, and shortened the flowerbed rockwall to a height that actually works with the new layout. The drip line irrigation was adjusted to match the new bed configuration so the plants are still getting what they need.

The fence work tied it all together. We trimmed and adjusted the side gate so it opens and closes the way it's supposed to, and installed new hardware - heavy-duty black hinges and a solid latch - that looks sharp against the fresh cedar. It's the kind of detail that's easy to overlook, but it makes a real difference in how the whole property feels when you're walking up to it.

What you end up with is a property that's solid, safe, and looks intentional. No more uneven path, no more dead spots in the irrigation, no more fighting with a gate that doesn't latch. Just clean concrete, dialed-in landscaping, and a fence that actually works.
