Keystone Paving

If you didn’t see yesterday’s ‘before’ go check it out because here is the great after! With the new deck and the enclosed space, this yard just became a LOT more user friendly. @lumoncanada #deck #decks #decksofinstagram #decking #deckdesign #deckbuilding #decklife #woodworking #wooddesign #woodworkers #patio #patiofurniture #patiodesign #keystonepaving2020

Let's make sure your space works for YOU! Yards that don't draw YOU to them exist because they aren't geared towards YOU. You bought a house that had a finished yard or you put down a yard full of grass at your new build and you aren't in love. The yard is finished and so you should leave it be, right?... WRONG! You would paint an ugly wall in your house if you didn't like it. You should consider re-landscaping if you don't love your yard! With a #staycation being a reality for most of us this summer, the value of your home and outdoor living space is sky-high. Let's work together so you can have a space you love this summer. #hardscape #softscape #landscape #landscapeconstruction #landscapedesign #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #realtysaskatoon #realtyyxe #yxerealty #saskatoonrealty #saskatoonhomes #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 See more

We were just told by an outdoor furniture supplier that they are already sold out of patio furniture for 2021 and are selling into 2022! That is absolutely crazy and could be a sign of what is to come with other products. The focus on #staycation is in full effect. If you want your outdoor living space ready to enjoy this summer, best to start planning it now!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our building thanks to Cindy and Susan (@cmkornelson @fredenns)! If you need someone to put up a Christmas tree to make your office or home feel a little more celebratory, I highly recommend these two! #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #yxechristmas #saskatoonchristmas #christmas #christmastree #winter #snow #officechristmas #keystonepaving2020

There isn't much better than enjoying a meal outside and I absolutely love getting to build outdoor kitchen spaces. Some are simple like a bbq with a prep station and others include more intricate features like a sink and cabinets. Whatever the setup, an outdoor kitchen makes food more fun-- both making it and eating it. #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #outdoorkitchen #outdoorfood #food #foodprep #bbq #barbecue #grill #grilling #grillstation #keystonepaving2020

Here are some more pics of the two-tiered patio from yesterday's post. The grade change took away all usability from this backyard so we installed retaining walls, steps and feature planters. Next year when the homeowner installs flowers this yard will have that pop of colour to add contrast #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery #pergola #pergolas #gazebo #gazebos #gazebogardens #woodworking #wooddesign #woodworkers

This design we're currently working on is lights out... or lights ON rather! The transition from evening to night has a huge impact on how you use your yard. We take that into consideration in our design process to make sure you'll love your outdoor living space any time of day, any season! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery #lowvoltagelights #lighting #nightlight #nightlights #lights #light #lowvoltage #transformer

The start of a shift and 10 hours later of straight pushing on this property, and it still had a little ways to go! The snow we have accumulated over the past 5 days has been WILD! #snow #snowremoval #snowstorm #storm #snowfall #snowclearing #shovel #shoveling #keystonepaving2020

Although every pile of snow is new, this feels awfully familiar to the past couple of days #snow #snowremoval #bobcat #dumptruck #hino #keystonepaving2020

Check out THIS beautiful backyard transformation! We created a great useable outdoor space where this family will enjoy making memories for years. We also added custom windbreak screens to create a sense of space without the openness and vulnerability of the countryside. We look forward to coming back and adding to it all in the future! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery

You may remember this pergola from an earlier post. The rest of this project wrapped up beautifully before winter! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery #pergola #pergolas #gazebo #gazebos #gazebogardens #woodworking #wooddesign #woodworkers

Check out this great @lumoncanada room we are installing! Just a few finishing touches and it is done but you can already tell that this beautiful addition to the house will extend the outdoor living season! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #saskatchewan #saskliving #sasklife #saskoutdoors #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #pergola #pergolas #gazebo #gazebos #gazebogardens #woodworking #wooddesign #woodworkers #glasswalls #threeseasons

We're happy to have finished up this yard before the snow flies. Now, these homeowners will have the winter to dream of the first dip in their pool when things warm up! That's an exciting thought! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #landscapelighting #lighting #landscape #pool #swimmingpool #poolparty #swim #swimming #pooldeck #poolside

When you are given a treat and don't have a plate, you make an ABS food funnel! Pro tip: Eating in a pool house also helps keep you out of the wind! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #bakedoatmeal #berries #oats #treat #food

Remember the post from a little while ago where we found quicksand with our machine? (Swipe to see it) Well, this is the aftermath! Now that the water issues have been managed, this beautiful patio is just about ready for a little bit of a late-season hangout! And soon the remainder of this yard will get artificial turf, topsoil for planting beds and a synthetic ice surface on a sport-court. It will certainly be a great yard for this family! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery

Here are a handful of pictures from the beautiful patio in yesterday's video. I don't know a lot of people who wouldn't enjoy sitting out there around the natural gas fire pit on a fall evening! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #hardscapedesign @hardscapegallery

Check out this great 2-day makeover at this cabin! The only thing remaining is for the owner to finish his stairs coming down from the upper level, but WOW! If you've got a cabin, acreage or other out-of-town property that needs some beautiful outdoor upgrades let us know! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #cabin #lakelife #cabinlife #lake

We recently completed a lake project (more pictures to come soon!) and in the morning this little fella would come for a visit. Joel's boot 'mysteriously' went missing after this fox was seen hanging around it! Sly fox indeed! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020

This is how you know a wall is built well-- even when you aren't meaning to show it off, it is level. Just check out that bubble! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020

Here is a really nice patio in this established neighbourhood! Something to take a look at are the BEAUTIFUL mitre cuts on the corners of the sailor border course. #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020

Check out this super neat @barkmanconcrete Skyline bench we recently installed! Now, these homeowners can enjoy all of the plant life in their front yard in style for years to come! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #bench #benchesofinstagram #benches #concretebench #woodbench

A little before and after of a concrete apron around a pool (this is a different pool than in the post from a few days ago). The concrete is poured to span the uncompacted backfill around the pool so we can add gravel above it without fear of settling and lay paving stones. It then wraps up over the edge of the pool so we can attach decorative pool coping around the perimeter. Super neat stuff! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020 #swimmingpool #pool #pools #swimmingpools #fibreglasspool #fibreglasspools

This project is 7 years old and still looking great! The homeowners really had their garden fill in and complete the look! #hardscape #hardscapebrotherhood #buildersofinsta #landscapeconstruction #yxesaskatoon #yxe #yxehomes #saskatoon #saskatooning #pavingstones #pavingstone #retainingwall #steps #patio #patios #backyard #privacy #keystonepaving2020
