These homeowners wanted a modern entry that looked lighter than a solid block of stairs, so we built floating concrete steps leading up to their front porch. Each tread is a thick, reinforced slab cast with a subtle textured surface and set on a hidden center pier, so from the side the steps appear to hover over the river rock bed. Every pier sits on its own footing below the frost line so the treads stay level year after year, and the textured top gives better grip than a smooth trowel finish. It turned a plain front walk into the first thing guests notice about the house.

This Zionsville home’s side-load driveway and long curved front walk had a handful of cracked and sunken panels, but most of the concrete was still structurally sound. Instead of tearing everything out, we replaced the damaged driveway panels and the worst sections of the walk, then resurfaced the rest with a matching overlay so the old and new concrete look like one continuous pour. The new panels were tied in with drilled dowels so they won’t shift against the existing slab. The homeowners got a driveway and walk that look brand new for well under half the cost of full replacement.

This backyard pool needed a deck that would stay cool and grippy under bare feet through Indiana summers, so we poured about 1,100 square feet of light-colored exposed aggregate around the full perimeter. The exposed stone gives natural slip resistance when the surface is wet, and the light tone keeps it comfortable to walk on even in direct sun. The deck is sloped away from the pool toward drains, and an expansion joint runs along the pool edge so seasonal ground movement doesn’t crack the deck or stress the pool wall. It now connects the pool to the house patio and the stone garden walls in one clean surface.
