Borealis Pavers with Black Polymeric Sand

Available since March 2016, Gator Maxx now offers a black polymeric sand. It creates a nice void space look for the "wood" pavers!

Removable Fence Panels

In addition to the gate open here, the two panels to the left can lift up and slide out of special mounting brackets to allow for work on the HVAC.

Before and After...

From initial planning and collaboration with our client, work began with demolition of the existing concrete patio and sidewalk. From there, we continued excavation for both new patios and the fence posts. A few existing fence posts were heightened to accommodate new string lights. We partnered with Rely Electric to run power under the new patio and put power outlets and a light switch by the existing entry gate.
