Landscaping and Outdoor Cement Work

We are closing in on the end of the project.  Hottmann Construction has finished pouring a patio off the lower level back door.  They then proceeded to the front and poured a beautiful colored and stamped driveway and sidewalk up to the front door.  Overhead Doors has completed installation of the overhead doors and openers. 

The Bruce Company spent the week fighting wet and cold weather, mixed in with a couple of nice days, to finish the landscaping of the home.  They did a very nice job in the landscape design.  This year’s home may be the first single family residential home to use a new concept called referred to as a living wall.  It has been used in combination with limestone to create a unique look and still offer all of the protection the wall needs to provide.  In between layers of rock, tubes of soil have been molded into the hillside.  They are planted with a variety of plants and flowers which will give color and cover for many years to come.   Made by Filtrex, it is a unique application.  The framers were back and have finished the deck so that the Regal Railing system supplied by Wisconsin Building Supply can be installed in the next few days. 

 

Outside Covering

Siding – Masonry – Stucco

Now that the weather is cooperating a little better, the action has started outside.  For the past several weeks there have been three different crews working out there making sure the exterior covering of the house which protects it for the ages and creates an eye appealing curb appearance is properly installed. 

After getting all of the siding materials delivered by Alside Supply, Budget Roofing and Siding took over and installed all of the soffit, fascia, gutters and downspouts, and the vinyl siding.  Working in the front was Neller Masonry, who installed all of the cultured stone and stucco.  The stone and much of the masonry was supplied by County Materials.  After finishing up outside, they moved inside to put the stone around the three side pier fireplace installed by Fireside Hearth and Home.  Next up will be the garage doors.  Overhead Doors of Madison will be out in the next week to wrap up all of the outside covering.
