Revamping an Outdoor Space


The homeowners of this Beaverton Bull Mountain Home wanted to jazz up their patio with a sophisticated look with low maintenance. The original concrete portion was okay, but they wanted the decking and patio all one level as to expand the living space for entertainment. The fun challenge was lifting the Jacuzzi tub up the enclosed area in order to lay the new concrete pad. It took seven guys and a whole lot of grunting. Who needs a crane when you have manly muscle available?
Demo Day!
A beautifully stamped large paneled look concrete stained in a multiple pattern of browns, tans and blacks give depth and a stone character to the new patio. Gone is the wood deck next to the house and wooded steps, also in concrete.


 
The new steps leading up to the property grounds was constructed of Trex Transcends “Spiced Rum” deck boards, “Vintage Lantern” railing, and “Classic White” posts and caps, the balusters are round black iron, all maintenance free.

To complete the new sophisticated look the funky “Y” posts holding the upper deck were changed out to a simpler but decorative wrapped pillar with coved trim. Oh yeah, wondering how we got the Jacuzzi back down? Seven guys and more grunting.
