Walkways and Stone Work

Interesting, winding walkways can be a great way to spruce up a boring yard and add a little bit of elegance and beauty. A well placed walkway can make it easy for you and visitors to stroll through the yard a look at plants or serve as a path the a fun little grilling and fire pit patio area. Fire pits are all the rage right now, and summer is the perfect time to enjoy being outside with friends and family. Even stone work added to retain dirt or surround an area can add just the touch a garden needs, while reducing year to year maintenance. The great thing about stone is that it will last for years and years.

Ponds

Small koi ponds aren’t for everyone, but everyone loves the sound of trickling water. A small lily pad garden with a trickling fountain can give a yard the unique touch it needs. Many of our customers set up little hammock or sitting areas nearby such ponds, to sit and enjoy the sounds of the water and little frogs that come to visit. Adding water to a garden is easier to maintain than one might think, and these kinds of features are what make a garden truly memorable and exquisite.
