Outdoor Living | Water Feature | Water Garden
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it... -William Ward Imagination is one of the most powerful tools that has ever been given to mankind. If Thomas Edison had no imagination, we could still be living without electric lights, or microphones, or megaphones, or... The greastest thing about imagination is that it can become a dream, and dreams can be shared. When a person has a dream they have two choices, to share, or not to share their particular dream.

Outdoor Living | Ponds | Water Feature
Wikipedia defines aquascaping as "the craft of arranging aquatic plants, as well as rocks, stones, cavework, or driftwood, in an aesthetically pleasing manner..." This holds true in the aquarium world as well as in the water feature world. Since I am not very well versed in the aquarium world, we'll just stick to the outdoor water feature industry. So in layman's terms, what is aquascaping? My definition of aquascaping is: using water gardening to fill a void in someone's life that they didn't know existed.

Fire Pit | Fireplace | Gas Fire Pit | Outdoor Fireplace | Outdoor Living
Fire pits are an absolutely wonderful thing when you're happy, sad, alone, with somebody, etc... Whether you're with a group of people or maybe by yourself, a fire is always welcome company. A good majority of people love the smell of wood smoke and the crackle of a fire, but it's not always for everyone. Some folks just love the warmth of the fire without all of the headaches and hassles of the wood. For this reason, the gas fire pit came into being.

Built-in Grill | Landscape Lighting | Outdoor Kitchen | Outdoor Living | Patio | Pavers | Retaining Wall | Sitting Wall
"The professionalism and thoroughness with which our job was done was most impressive beginning with the sales/marketing and design team to the workers on site." The first time this customer came into our design center for an appointment we knew we were going to have a blast. We clicked right away and the process began. They wanted to redo not only their front yard but their back yard too. Through many many questions from an engineer to lauging at his many jokes, the design came together beautifully! After many appointments and picking out the perfect pavers, the plans were set and ready to go!

Fire Pit | Landscape Lighting | Outdoor Living | Pavers | Raised Patio | Retaining Wall | Retaining Wall Cost | Retaining Walls | Sitting Wall | Techo-Bloc
Wow! From Pool to Paver Patio. Wow! What a transformation! This customer came to us and said he was sick of the gunnite pool. His kids were all grown up and it was time to create a space they could not only entertain in, but also could enjoy by themselves. The stone wall that was holding up the hill side was also leaning forward and needing to be replaced before it got any worse. We sat down with him and worked on many designs, and finally came up with the perfect plan. Remove the pool, install a multi-level paver patio with a fire pit, landscape lighting, an area for their hot tub and landscape beds.
