From Deck to Decadence in three weeks

 We tried to work this client into the end of last year, but with timing it just didn't happen.  So the family moved to one of the first projects of 2012!  What we did here was take a 350 square foot decaying deck (with some unfortunate surprises underneath) and change it to a permanent part of their outdoor living space.  With over 8 tons of dirt brought in and 12 tons of stone to form the base and make the grade of land flat this is what we did.  You can hardly recognize from where it was three weeks ago to where it is now!

Here is the beginning pictures with the deck tear out.

Bi-Layer Deck

Flushed to the 3 seasons room

The next step was leveling the grade, bringing in dirt and pouring the footer for the Fireplace
stone and dirt brought in to patch some long term water damage under the deck

6 inch thick concrete fireplace footer
The third phase was to bring in the fireplace and than start building the patio foundation with a lifetime warrantied product (Reading Rock)
We also added a rounded step off the patio for a beautifully cut serpentine sidewalk that allows better access to and from their driveway

Cutting Paver Stone, laying of the pattern to the fireplace

Almost there
The last phase is where we did the grouting, clean up, and brought in their outdoor kitchen complete with a rounded 82 inch bar ledge for additional seating

Adding Lights to the rounded seat walls to the fireplace/ hooking up electric

Completed Project !  Just look at the first picture and scroll down to this!
The products used were the Chardonnay Stacked Cultured Stone for the fireplace, Bull Grill and Components in the Kitchen, Reading Rock Halfmark Series, and the little blue chairs were provided by the client :)
