We detailed previously the installation of A Long Walk for this customer - more than a football field in length of River Street Lafitt paver stones: Our intrepid crews have returned to extend this long walk around the front of the house and replace the double row of timber retaining walls with a sturdy stone … Continue reading A Longer Walk
Happy New Year to all our customers and friends (pardon the redundancy)!

On the lower patio, our crew installed a … Continue reading Twice the Fun
