Backyard Remodel with Pool Deck,
Large Concrete Slabs & Lighting — Granada Hills

Granada Hills, California

About 3 weeks

The project

A backyard that works
day and night.

The owners had a pool, overgrown citrus trees and a yard of loose gravel that was hard to use and keep clean. They wanted a clean, modern backyard that works day and night, without touching the pool. We completed it in about 3 weeks.

From design to the last light

What we did

  • 01

    Design: layout, slab pattern, joint material and lighting plan

  • 02

    Demolition and tree removal with our own mini excavator

  • 03

    About 40 tons of soil excavated and hauled off with our own dump trailer

  • 04

    New drainage system to move water away from the house and pool deck

  • 05

    Side yard: removed an unused planter bed, hauled off the soil and poured a new reinforced concrete slab, giving the owners more usable space

  • 06

    Large-format concrete slabs in a grid, with decorative aggregate glued into the joints with a special binder (no loose gravel, no weeds)

  • 07

    New electrical feed for the pool equipment

  • 08

    Wall lights along the block wall and landscape uplights along the hedge

Our equipment. Our schedule.

Why it went fast

BFF owns its excavator, trailer and equipment, so excavation and haul-off did not wait on rentals or subcontractors.

About 40 tons of soil hauled off. About 3 weeks from start to finish.
