latest job

Gotta wait for the sod to grown in before I take the real "after" pics but these are some I snapped as we were washing the job down the other day and the day before the sod went down.

Hardscaping is nice also. What kind of stone is it.

Nice detail. I love to see a larger project like that turn out the way it did.
Looks really good.

Holy Cow, are those 15 gallon hosta?

super nice job. Definitely a project to be proud of. My only criticism is the walkway (second photo) where the two running bonds meet. Looks a little awkward. I would of liked to see the pathways merge in a curving manner so the running bond is continuous.

Those are some huge hosta.

Good work!

well you can weave those ( I have photos Ill post of that) but it has to come in at a 90º angle and to do that would have pushed that curve way out.(not an option) and we could have mitered it but the two sides wouldn't have matched up for the same reason. We thought it was a cool effect/solution.

what kind of pump you have for the falls and what system did you use, the yellow stone really contrast nice with the mulch

I was actually admiring the transition of the walkway. Very nice job indeed.

That job is incredible! The details on the job look as good as the big picture. Did your guys really roll the sod strips so it would be striped or was that just a lucky accident?

I am not asking what you charged for the job. Did you walk away with a happy customer and pay commensurate with the complexity of the job and detail your crew provided. Too often when my heart gets into a job I end up spending a little too much time tweaking it.

A W S O M E !

Beautiful and nice photograhy technique.

Who is the poor guy that has to mow that perfect striped pattern in that small grass area between the patio and the bank?

Looks good! Just have one question. Does local building code require a handrail along the steps? Around here, it's required if there are 4 or more risers.

Zullo- It's nice to see a natural looking water feature for once. Most look like rock piles with water splashing down. Well done.
