We recently wrapped up a landscaping project in Sartell where we were tasked with transforming a previously underutilized space beneath a deck. Though another contractor had previously laid the concrete edging, we eagerly stepped in to complete the makeover. Our mission was to create a clean, eye-catching area that blended harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.
Our process began by removing the existing sod, a necessary step to ensure a flat and uniform surface that would provide a lasting effect. With the sod carefully dug out, we moved forward by tightly installing landscape fabric. This fabric acts as a barrier, preventing weed growth while still allowing water to seep through and nourish the soil beneath. Its placement tight to the concrete edges was key for a seamless finish.
Next, we selected river rock to cover the newly prepared area. Choosing the river rock wasn’t just for aesthetic purposes; its durability makes it an excellent choice for coping with challenging weather conditions while offering a neat, low-maintenance solution. The river rock was meticulously distributed over the landscape fabric, providing a balanced and polished look that matched with other elements in the yard.
Working efficiently, our team completed this under-deck transformation in a few hours. The end result speaks volumes – a tidy, functional space that elegantly matches the rest of the property. We're proud of the fresh and inviting feel this transformation adds to the home's exterior and are excited to share this project with future clients.
