The foundation for landscaping is hardscaping* and stone work. It is the true link between the outside world and our homes and is the starting point of any landscape installation. It is what anchors our feet to the ground and gives us our place to live outside in the presence of our gardens. It is with great attention to detail and quality that we install stone and hardscape products as they are meant to endure for the life of the home and not change over time.
As the gardens evolve and grow, hardscaping and stonework create permanent spaces for gathering, walking, access and function. We turn steep slopes into terraced gardens, property lines into works of art, driveways into permeable surfaces that control run off, walkways that give safe and beautiful access to different areas of the property, steps that give direct access into homes and solid structures for mounting lighting fixtures.
We create places to sit on a stone bench or wall to immerse oneself in the garden and feel at home. Every project starts with listening to a client and gaining insight into how they want to use their property and how to create permanent places for activity and traffic flow. We work with our hands to create works of art that are born of hard work, patience, proper layout and preparation and good client dialogue to achieve lasting results that are unique to each setting and each clients interest.
We stand behind our work for the life of the home and we do things right because we believe in the principle of minimizing maintenance and giving enduring value to each project we take on.
*Hardscaping refers to hard landscape materials in the built environment and structures that are incorporated into a landscape. This can include paved areas, driveways, retaining walls, or any other landscaping made up of hard wearing materials such as stone, pavers, fencing, lighting, drainage, etc., as opposed to softscape, the horticultural elements of a landscape.
