Katie's New Front Yard

June 25, 2026•1 min read

Full front yard remodel in Ogden, Utah tying the driveway into a new RV pad extension, a slab stepping-walkway, compacted gravel park strip, and an artificial turf lawn. Work visible in the photos includes rough grading and base prep, poured and jointed concrete panels for the drive/RV pad, fitted retaining wall cap, and finished turf with gravel transitions. This scope improves usable driveway access for an RV, reduces lawn maintenance with synthetic turf, and provides durable, low-maintenance transitions between concrete and landscaped areas through compacted gravel and clean edges.

Rough-graded front yard with the skid steer on site and the driveway area cleared and sloped back to the fence ready for base work. — Preparing the Rough-graded front yard with the skid steer.
