St Louis Park Project - Spring 2024
This project cut 3 ft from a steep sloping back yard to create a small walkout patio. The extra soil was used to ease the remainder of the slope in the back yard and to create a long retaining wall along the side of the house.
Client's Main Goals
- Create an entrance to the backyard from the basement
- Ease the slope from the "upper" backyard by the house to the "lower" backyard further away from the house
- Level the slope along the side of the house to allow for a riding lawnmower to easily go from the front to back yard
Lake Elmo Project - Fall 2023
This project was all about adding entertainment space for friends and family. A nearly 1000sq ft paver patio, french patio door, and footings for future deck construction from the main level.
Client's Main Goals
- Create a french door entrance to the unfinished basement to would later be finished as an "entertainer's dream basement"
- Add a large paver patio to the backyard, connected to the new walkout door, and to be connected to a future 8' x 12' deck with stairs
