A deeper look

A project inspired by upcycling unique materials. Copper piping was used as the entry railing, welded together on site. Custom concrete steps lead to multi-colored cobblestone. Our clients were really inspired by ingenuity. We built them a steel insert gate which casts a shadow on the path morning and night.

 

The backyard went from being an unused space to an intentional relaxation and growing area. The carport space was transformed into a reclaimed lumber pergola with an earthy flagstone patio. Our clients carefully collected pieces of tile and stone to create a mosaic next to their raised beds.

 

This garden is the perfect example of the team creating a canvas for the the client to start painting themselves into the image.
