When a Calgary homeowner purchased their property, they inherited two problems that made daily life more frustrating than it should be: no functional access to the front door and overgrown landscaping that blocked views from inside and out.
Having seen Pittman Concrete's portfolio of past work and in-house design-build experience, they made the decision to reach out to our team. Three weeks later, they had a front entry that worked the way it should.
Mature trees and established plant material filled the space where a proper front walkway needed to go. The goal was to create a large, accessible entry and walkway while preserving as much of the mature planting as possible. That required careful planning, deliberate removal, and a design that worked with the landscape rather than against it.
Pittman Concrete's in-house, award-winning designer developed the full exterior design and project plan before a single shovel hit the ground. Working within the homeowner's budget and wishlist, she mapped out a design that solved both the access and the visual openness problems — while preserving the character of the established landscaping where possible.
Brushed concrete was used throughout, providing a clean, durable finish suited to a high-traffic front entry. Concrete elements included:
Beyond the concrete, Pittman Concrete managed and delivered:
A complete front entry restoration was completed in three weeks, transforming it from an inaccessible, overgrown entry into a functional, well-designed space with a brushed concrete walkway, proper steps, hard landscaping, handpicked boulders, and planting. Every item on the client's wishlist was delivered within budget, with Pittman Concrete managing every phase of the project in-house.
