Pool decks for large backyards
Exposed-aggregate concrete gives pool decks a pebble texture with good grip for bare feet. We slope the deck so water runs away from the pool and the house, and plan joints so they line up with the pool shape.

What Alamo homeowners should know
Stamped patios for entertaining
Stamped and colored concrete gives the look of stone or slate across a large patio at a lower cost than natural stone, which suits the big entertaining areas common in Alamo.
Walls need a county permit
Contra Costa County treats concrete and masonry walls as walls, not fences, and requires a building permit for them. Retaining walls up to 3 feet with no surcharge are exempt. We flag this early if your design includes seat walls or retaining walls.
