Custom Concrete Patio with Compass Rose and Exposed Aggregate Retaining Walls

A custom-etched compass rose serves as the striking centerpiece for this multi-faceted custom concrete installation in Puyallup. The circular patio surface presents a fine, sand-like texture, achieved through a meticulous finishing process that highlights the material's natural character. This central feature is framed by a darker, stamped concrete border, providing a rich textural contrast. The property's slope is expertly managed with a series of tiered retaining walls, which form a large, functional garden space. Each wall panel is crafted with a uniform exposed aggregate finish, offering exceptional durability and a rugged elegance that connects the hardscape to the surrounding natural environment. Precision saw-cut joints in the patio are not merely functional; they are integral to the artistic compass design, demonstrating a mastery of form and function.
