Five different rock medallions are located in the flatwork around the Beck estate. Each is a unique item cut out of many types and colors of real stone. GCS never duplicates a design, because each is truly one of a kind. These are included in over 4000 square feet of real rock paving. On the landscaping alone, they used over 3000 pieces of hand crafted European style cast stone. GCS manufactured more than half of these.

The History

While they received their California contractor?EUR??,,????'?????<

The GCS equipment roster consists of 45 pieces, including trucks, tractors and trailers. For marketing reasons all of the equipment is painted in the company colors of victory red and space blue metallic. This includes their largest 44,000-pound Caterpillar excavator down to their wheelbarrows. The equipment roster includes the typical bulldozer, skip loaders, backhoes and skid steers. They also have a portable concrete batch plant that they move from estate to estate. This plant will produce as much as twenty cubic yards of concrete per hour and also feeds their custom gunite rig. GCS just finished guniting the biggest private pool built in Northern California in many years. The pool is six thousand square feet of surface area and required 10 tons of reinforcing steel, 95 tons of cement and 320 tons of sand to complete. All of this work was done by GCS crews.

GCS is very proud of their crews. Every team member is provided with uniforms to maintain the professional image that is so important to GCS.

To be on site every day with their management and design team, GCS moves a 30-foot office trailer onto the project. They have also designed and fabricated unique equipment for their own use including a wire caddie that attaches to tractors for the installation of irrigation control wire, a concrete forming supply trailer and a job site irrigation parts trailer. This custom engineered equipment really improves their performance and efficiency on the job site. As an example, the irrigation trailer is pulled around the estate to where the crews are working. Included on the trailer is the pipe, fittings and tools needed that day, thus no more waste of valuable time walking back and forth looking for fittings.

The Beck project started with a flat blank canvas. 655 full truckloads of soil were imported to texture and sculpt the landscape. One corner of the property was elevated sixteen feet for the 125 long waterfall. 700 tons of rock were used to construct the waterfall with the largest rock weighing 25,000 pounds. The waterfall will have 2,000 gallons per minute of water flowing over its upper falls into four pools and two streams. Also included are three bridges, two KOI ponds, a water garden, eighteen springs and a fog machine. This flows into a 6,000 square foot swimming pool with a swim under grotto, sand beach and fire pit. The estate also has three fountains and a pool caba?????????a with a large outdoor barbeque and fire place.

The Business Philosophy

The founder of GCS, Bill Goddard spent over 20 years in sales and marketing before starting GCS. He was fortunate to have some of the most professional and talented people mentor him. One of the things that he was taught is that ?EUR??,,????'?????<
