Ultimate Backyard Challenge 2011

Watkins Concrete Block showcases backyard projects that are the "Ultimate" backyards in the Omaha Area. Yard size's differ across town and there are some beautiful projects in large and small yards that deserve attention and recognition. Clear Creek entered this project into. Our designers met with the homeowners to find out what they wanted and how they were going to use their space. The design team came up with a plan that excited the homeowners. The "Dream" was to have fire, water, shade, and a cooking area all built into an intimate space for 2 to 50+ people. We were able to comfortably fit a firepit, 3 waterfalls, built-in seating areas, pergola, outdoor cooking area and even a bench that. The patio is built with Belgard Pavers (Urbana) and Belgard Freestanding Walls (Weston). We custom built the "Water Walls" into the freestanding wall and fireplace as well as custom built the grill island that houses the Bull Outdoor Charcoal Grill. We cleared out the existing beds and prepped the beds for new plantings in the upcoming spring. The waterfall was built with natural stone and specifically placed to create a serene atmosphere. From the patio, kitchen, master bedroom, and living room you can hear and see the waterfall. Voting for the "People's Choice" will take place on the Watkins Concrete Block website and starts in early Spring 2012. Please visit the site to place your vote(s).

Ultimate Backyard Challenge

Watkins Concrete Block introduced the Ultimate Backyard Challenge "Lite" last year as a way to showcase backyard projects that everyday people/households can enjoy. Yard size's differ across town and there are some beautiful projects in smaller yards that deserve attention and recognition. Clear Creek entered this project into the "Lite" category. It fits exactly because of the intimate setting in this yard and creative use of the space to maximize its full potential. Our designers met with the homeowners to find out what they wanted and how they were going to use their space. The design team came up with a plan that excited the homeowners. The "Dream" was to have fire, water, shade, and a cooking area all built into an intimate space for 2 to 20+ people. We were able to comfortably fit a fireplace, 3 waterfalls, built-in seating areas, pergola, outdoor cooking area and even a bench that doubles as a storage space onto the patio. The patio is built with Belgard Pavers (Urbana) and Belgard Freestanding Walls (Weston). We custom built the "Water Walls" into the freestanding wall and fireplace as well as custom built the grill island that houses the Bull Outdoor Charcoal Grill. We cleared out the existing beds and prepped the beds for new plantings in the upcoming spring. The waterfall was built with natural stone and specifically placed to create a serene atmosphere. From the patio, kitchen, master bedroom, and living room you can hear and see the waterfall. Voting for the "People's Choice" will take place on the Watkins Concrete Block website and starts in early Spring 2012. Please visit the site to place your vote(s).

Ultimate Backyard Challenge 2010

We entered this project into the Ultimate Backyard Challenge 2010. Watkins Concrete Block puts on the contest to showcase local projects using pavers, retaining walls, landscape lighting, fire pits, water features, and seating walls. We took a small backyard with an existing concrete patio that had shifted and moved with the changing seasons and created a much more useable space for the whole family. Our goal was to have different areas of the patio that could be used in different ways. We designed the patio to have a main dining area, also a fun gathering area around the fire pit, and an area for the grill master to relax while cooking up the goods.
