The blending of different natural material. 

On this project we listened closely to what the owner wanted. The list consisted of custom everything, nothing off the self or store bought. 

On this project, we assisted the owners with a design that was at the schematic level. We took it on, with thier assistance, we completed the detailing and completed the project. 

Complete Design Build Project

On this project we transformed a grass area into a usable and beautiful natural stone patio. Perfect for entertaining friends, family and other wine country guest. The owners have used the patio(s) for dinners, birthday and corporate parties.

We completed several hardscape elements on this project, including flagstone steps on a concrete sub-straight, flagstone walkways and patios on base and sand, several natural stone walls and entry gate and columns. 

Achieving an old rustic look with local stone. These decorative walls act as fencing while being a great display and focal point for the great craft of Masonry. Wonderful metal art takes the eye away from the hard edge of the Stone.

Bluestone is wonderful material to use at a private residence such as the this lovely home on the East side of Sonoma. 

With the help of a Structural Engineer, we built this landscape and wine cellar with natural stone. The inside of the cellar is temperature controlled but mainly aided by the natural cooling shade provided by the expansive canopy of the native oaks. The property is situated on a steep hillside, so the plans called for a CMU wall with solid grouted cores. The exterior is faced with natural stone helping to increase the R-Value of the walls. The doors are vintage wood with antique solid metal hardware.

This project had a bit of everything. It displays our companies ability to self perform the vast array specialized work with in the Landscape trade. We installed new concrete walkways, paver walkways and patios, new stone walls, low voltage lighting, new irrigation and drainage systems, decomposed granite pathways and patios, new trees and plants, planter boxes, BBQs and pergolas, the list goes on...

On this project, we worked with an existing design provided by a Bay Area Architect. The plans call for the remodel of the entire front and side yards. The project is located on a hillside with existing steep grades, making the use of the side yards difficult. We installed new concrete retaining walls that terraced along the front of the house to allow for use-able (new) blue-stone patios. In between the patio squares we installed new grown cover plants. One of the concrete walls served as a planter box for a vegetable garden. Along the side of the house, we also improved the grades to allow for a slightly sloped lawn area that also serves as a bocce ball court. New irrigation lines have been installed and the existing lines have been connected to one central smart controller. A new drainage system was installed as well.

This was a design build project. Completed 20+ years ago with small and new additions every other year. The material consisted of natural stone as requested by the original owners. The front yard walkway and the front patios are all built using Travertine stone. The stone walls are built from the native stone that has been harvested from the surrounding area. The back yard patios and walkways are natural bluestone. Same is true for the pool copping and surround. 

After the pool installation was completed, we quickly began finalizing the hardscape and planting plant for this backyard rehab. The project consited of a flagstone patio area, custom build redwood bench surrounding an existing walnut tree, gravel patio area, new planting beds, new irrigation and new low voltage lighting as well  as a small door landing. 

Everything in this backyard had to work with and blend into the existing natural pallet. The backyard is on an existing and extensive up-slope, leaving the large property unusable for the family. In fact it was a rattle snake paradise due to all the large boulders and unkept weeds.
