NATURAL MATERIALS THAT LAST
Our clients seek gathering spaces that are built to last and designed to enjoy. Using a variety of natural materials, our craftsman work to design and install outdoor spaces that are tailored to you. Sometimes these walls or terraces include two-sided seating walls at their perimeter, increasing useable space, reducing clutter, and providing a sense of security when used on taller terraces.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
Some of the interesting reasons we have created terraces include providing handicapped access to a swimming pool, level ground for volleyball and badminton, a zig-zag ramp to reach a fishing spot, and vehicle access to basement doors. Both solid retaining walls and outcroppings of boulders can be used attractively to retain steep slopes or to create planting opportunities.
NATURAL AND JAPANESE INSPIRATIONS
Our study of rock formations in nature and our training in Japanese garden traditions has enabled us to learn the art of setting natural stone and boulders with stability and grace.
