Kimicata Brothers, INC http://www.kimicatabrothers.com Project Entry: Johnson 2014 PLNA Awards for Landscape Excellence Winner Category: Hardscaping-Residential $30,000-$60,000 Award Level: Honorable Mention Photo Description: We were contacted by the Johnson’s to update their backyard fenced in pool area in the summer of 2012. Over the years the deck around the pool had deteriorated and the plants had become over grown and made walking around the deck difficult. The old concrete patio was small and only lit by bright 120 volt spot lights. What made this job difficult was the access to the backyard was limited to using a neighbor’s backyard for the project. We had to bring all debris out and materials in from a neighboring street, down the neighbor’s driveway, across the backyard, through an 8’ section that was in the far corner of the neighbor’s yard that corresponded to the entrance to Johnson’s backyard. They had a plan that they wanted to work from. Since access was a problem, we had to secure permission from the neighbor before we could consider bidding the job. After the neighbor’s permission was obtained we discussed materials for the drawing they had. It only included the hardscape and gazebo. Other difficulties included not damaging lighting and plumbing for the pool during excavation and construction. Also the ladders into the pool fit into cups screwed to the deck. These had to be replaced with precisely placed pipes mounted into the base for stability. Care had to be taken to make sure water would not drain from the deck into the pool. So we had to place channel drains between the patio area and pool deck area. A channel drain was placed between the exposed aggregate finished slab for the gazebo and the pool deck. This allowed for proper sloping of the hardscape to provide the drains to move rain away from the pool. We used polymeric sand in the paver joints to prevent breakdown of the installation and avoid wind and water moving sand into the pool. The slab for the gazebo was an exposed aggregate finish that measured 12’ 6” x 16’ 6”. The pagoda style roof for the gazebo and screening make it attractive and functional as a bug free area to entertain in. We discussed adding low voltage lighting, 120 volt plugs and drip irrigation early on so we could place conduits during the construction. After the hardscape installation we installed the low voltage lighting. We installed a transformer with a timer and an optional dusk to dawn photocell. The Johnsons did not like the old 120 volt spot light to light the back, they wanted something softer. We installed 20 path lights to illuminate the hardscape and 3 wall wash lights to add evening depth to the yard. We installed the plantings and Hunter drip irrigation system in the spring of 2013. It was easy to convince them that the drip system was the proper way to irrigate the area. There would be no spray to blow onto patio furniture or into the gazebo. Also drip irrigation uses less water so they are economical to operate. This gave them a low maintenance yard, a nice finished look and something blooming throughout the growing season. The Johnsons have been very happy with the look and the functionality of the pool deck, patio, lights, irrigation and gazebo.

This roof in Hanover PA 17331 suffered damage from hail storms and high wind, so we got it approved for a full replacement by the homeowner's insurance company. We installed a brand new LIFETIME warrantied asphalt shingle roofing system by GAF in their Timberline HD roofing product. This includes new flashing, weatherproofing, waterproofing, drip cap, drip edge, underlayment, etc.

Our latest project is a true outdoor transformation! We took a basic yard and turned it into a stunning, functional space that’s perfect for Arizona living. Here’s what we did: - Travertine Paver Border: We installed a beautiful and durable travertine paver border that frames the entire yard, adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. - Drip Irrigation System: To keep the new plants healthy and thriving with minimal water waste, we installed a state-of-the-art drip irrigation system. - New Plants: The yard was enhanced with carefully selected plants that thrive in the Arizona climate, adding color, texture, and life to the space. - Premium Turf: We laid down premium synthetic turf, creating a lush, green area that looks great year-round without the need for constant maintenance. - Travertine Covered & Extended Patios: The patio area was extended and covered in travertine, providing a spacious and stylish area perfect for entertaining and relaxing. This project combines beauty and functionality, giving the homeowners a low-maintenance, high-impact outdoor space to enjoy all year round.
