Winter is upon us, bringing with it the cold and snow, which now confines us to our warm homes.

It is never too late to start planning your outdoor projects for the spring and summer months. We offer a variety of concrete services as concrete contractors in Buffalo, NY and we wanted to give you a couple of ideas to enhance your yard in the warmer months. 

Build a Retaining Wall

Concrete retaining walls can be beautiful additions to sloping front and back yards. It is a great way to help maintain your landscaping and gives you a nice look for you outdoor space. Retaining walls are designed to stabilize the soil behind them which creates a nice barrier between the sidewalk or street. This prevents the soil from getting loose and sliding in the rain, keeping your walkway clear and clean. At B & W Custom Concrete, we are concrete contractors in Buffalo, NY that can help you build and design the perfect retaining wall for your home.

Build a Concrete Fire Pit

Fire pits are one of the most popular additions we do to people’s homes as concrete contractors in Buffalo, NY. Fire pits not only add a cozy feel to your home, but it increases the value of your home as well. They are great in both big and small yards and come in a wide variety of designs. It is important to think not only about the placement of the fire pit in your yard, so as to make it as comfortable as it can be, but also to think about any additional features you might want to add to it.

Or even a flat surface around the edge of the fire pit to place your feet or drinks.
