Pool Deck, Trench Drains, and Front Apron Done Right in Wayzata

This was a big one. A large pool deck, integrated trench drains for proper water management, and a new front sidewalk and apron - all tied together on one property in Wayzata, MN. The kind of job where every element has to work together, both functionally and visually.

Pool decks are one of those surfaces that get hit hard - water, foot traffic, freeze-thaw cycles every winter. The concrete has to be laid right from the start. That means proper slope, smart joint placement, and drainage that actually moves water away from the structure. The trench drains we installed here aren't just practical - they're part of what keeps a deck like this looking clean and lasting long-term.

The front sidewalk and apron tie the whole property together. A fresh concrete apron at the garage gives the home a clean, finished look from the street. It's one of those details that people notice even if they can't put their finger on exactly why the property looks so sharp.

We approach every pour - whether it's a concrete pool deck or a garage apron - with the same standard. Flat. Clean. Properly drained. Built to hold up in a Minnesota climate without cracking, shifting, or looking rough after a few seasons. That's not a selling point - it's just how we work.

When a property has multiple concrete elements going in at once, coordination matters. Getting the grades right, matching the finishes, making sure drainage flows the way it's supposed to - that's where experience shows. We're proud of how this one came together.
