4.6—28 Google ReviewsHighland and Alpine — Where Outdoor Spaces Match the Home
Highland and Alpine are two of the most desirable communities on the Wasatch Front. Homes here tend to be larger, lots are more generous, and the overall quality of construction is a step above the average Utah subdivision. The outdoor spaces should match — and too often they don't.
We work with Highland and Alpine homeowners who want something better than a basic grey slab behind a high-end home. These are projects where the details matter: the stamp pattern complements the home's architecture, the colors tie in with the stone or stucco, and the outdoor space functions as a true extension of the living area. Our sweet spot is the custom outdoor project that transforms a backyard from "nice lot" to "this is why we bought this house."
Pool Decks for Highland and Alpine Homes
Highland and Alpine have a high concentration of residential pools, and pool decks are one of our most requested services in these communities. A pool deck in this price range needs to perform on every level: attractive enough to complement a high-end home, cool enough to walk on barefoot in July, textured enough to be safe when wet, and durable enough to handle years of pool chemicals, sunscreen, and Utah weather.
We use lighter-colored stamps and integral colors that reflect heat rather than absorbing it. Travertine and light sandstone patterns are popular in Highland. For Alpine homes that back up to the mountain, natural flagstone patterns in cool grey tones are a strong choice. Every pool deck gets a slip-resistant texture applied during the stamping process — it looks like natural stone but feels safe underfoot, even wet. Drainage slopes are engineered to move water away from the pool and the house without creating trip hazards.
Outdoor Living — Patios, Fire Features, and Kitchens
The budget and lot sizes in Highland and Alpine allow for more ambitious outdoor projects than most Utah communities. We regularly build multi-zone outdoor spaces: a dining patio off the kitchen, a lounge area with a fire pit further into the yard, a walkway connecting to the pool deck, and a concrete pad for an outdoor kitchen or grill island.
Stamp pattern selection for these larger projects matters because you're looking at a lot of concrete. We help clients choose patterns and color combinations that create visual variety across the space without clashing. A common approach is using one stamp pattern for the main patio and pool deck, then a complementary border or accent pattern for walkways and transition areas. The result feels intentional and designed, not like one giant slab of the same pattern.
Quality Standards for Premium Homes
We hold ourselves to a higher standard on Highland and Alpine projects because the homes — and the homeowners — demand it. Every project gets 4,000+ PSI concrete, proper rebar reinforcement (not just fiber mesh), meticulous forming and edge work, and premium sealers that enhance color and protect the surface.
We're also more particular about timing in these communities. We won't rush a pour when conditions aren't right, even if it means pushing the schedule back a day. Getting the concrete right the first time matters more than hitting an arbitrary deadline. These are homes where you're going to notice if a stamp pattern doesn't align, if a control joint isn't straight, or if the color isn't consistent. We notice those things too, and we don't leave until it's right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a stamped concrete pool deck cost in Highland or Alpine?
Pool deck pricing in Highland and Alpine depends on the size of the area, finish type, and the scope of the overall project. These homes typically call for premium stamped finishes that complement the architecture. Projects that include patios, walkways, and fire features will naturally be larger in scope. Request a free estimate for exact pricing tailored to your property.
What stamp patterns are popular in Highland and Alpine?
Travertine and light sandstone patterns are most popular in Highland, especially for pool decks. Alpine homeowners often choose natural flagstone or ashlar slate in cooler grey tones that complement the mountain backdrop. For larger projects, we recommend a primary pattern with a complementary border to add visual interest.
Can you work around existing landscaping and pools?
Yes. Many Highland and Alpine projects involve adding or replacing concrete around established landscaping, pools, and structures. We carefully protect existing features and form the new concrete to tie in cleanly with what is already there. We can also remove and replace old concrete that no longer meets your standards.
Do you coordinate with other contractors?
Frequently. On larger outdoor living projects, we coordinate with landscapers, electricians, plumbers, and gas-line installers to make sure the concrete is poured at the right time with all necessary utilities in place. We are happy to work alongside your other contractors or recommend trusted partners we have worked with in Highland and Alpine.
How do you handle the larger lot sizes and sloped yards common in Alpine?
Alpine lots often have significant grade changes. We incorporate retaining edges, stepped levels, and terraced designs into the concrete plan to work with the natural slope rather than against it. This creates a more natural look and better drainage while maximizing usable outdoor space.
