A Full-Length Concrete Side Yard, Done Right Underneath

Drag to see the difference

A long Brentwood side yard graded and laid with a steel rebar grid inside wood forms, ready for the concrete pour

The same Brentwood side yard after the pour: a smooth broom-finish concrete slab with clean control joints running to the street

What the homeowner wanted

The long side yard between this Brentwood home and the fence was bare dirt and gravel, muddy in winter and hard to walk or roll bins and equipment through. The homeowner wanted one clean, solid surface running all the way from the backyard to the street.

Scope of work

Excavated and graded the full length of the side yard, sloping it away from the house for drainage
Built wood forms along the house and fence lines and laid a steel rebar grid across the whole area for strength
Poured and finished the slab with a smooth broom finish that gives good footing
Cut straight control joints at regular spacing to help keep cracking in check
