We strive to understand our clients and develop a project that reflects their tastes, while complementing the character of the home and the property. Whether it be a classic bluestone patio with brick or fieldstone accessory structures, a sleek contemporary paver patio using the latest in hardscape products or anything in between, we'll work with you to help you determine the style and materials that will get you excited to spend time living outside.

From breathtaking waterfalls and water features, to fire bowls and ornate stone work, to slides, flumes and grottos, swimming pools provide an amazing canvas to create stunning works for years of fun and entertainment for your family and friends.
Swimming pools bring endless design possibilities as the show piece for any project, but they also provide many unique construction challenges.
We can not express how often we have seen the above considerations handled improperly during installation.
We're often called out to consult on repairing projects that may have been 'cheap' when they went in, but more often than not, need to be completely re-built.

People have been building stone walls and roadways for thousands of years.

Many clients tend to overlook the value of plants when designing a poolscape, patio or any other outdoor living space.
Plants have a calming effect and will immediately turn a sterile hardscape into a garden, where you'll want to spend more time.
We often hear homeowners describe past struggles to keep plants alive and previous maintenance issues with poorly designed landscapes.
A well-designed garden or planting plan requires very little maintenance or homeowner attention as it matures.
We take a lot into consideration when specifying plants for a specific site, to provide a hardy and beautiful landscape that will not require constant gardening.
