Patios, walls, fountains and pours

Finished work photographed by the yard, sorted by what it is made of. Each group links to the material pages behind it, so you can see the stone, the block or the concrete in the bin before you plan your own.

Soracco sells the materials and pours short-load concrete. Captions below describe only what is in each photo.

Stone you can stand on

Patios and walls

A paver patio at dusk with a lit fire pit and a cedar pergola, a flagstone sitting area edged with boulders, and World Block walls from a Yakima street to a terraced slope. The yard stocks the pavers, flagstone, edging, sand and World Block behind work like this, and the pallets can be set next to the project by forklift.

Basalt, made to order

Water features

Basalt columns beside a house, in a black rock bed on a lawn, stepped in rainbow river rock, ringed by a planter outside a commercial building and lit from below at night. Columns are custom made to order, and the pond liner and lighting that finish a fountain are on the yard’s shelves.

Ready-mix, straight off the chute

Concrete pours

The red Soracco mixer at a hillside job, pouring into foundation forms and parked at a new house, then the result: a finished driveway pad, and fresh concrete in forms at a garage door. Short loads from a 3 1/2 yd truck suit work like this where a full-size mixer will not fit.
