Kikuchi & Associates If you are referring to the plant in the pot, it is the succulent plant "Aeonium arboreum". Native to the Mediterranean, there are many varieties of this species, all very well suited for container planting situations.

Urban Landscape Looks great! Is that natural stone?

Kikuchi & Associates The spa paving level is only 1' higher than the pool paving level and both spa and pool waterlines are about 6" lower that their respective paving levels. We found that the 1' drop provided more than enough of a visual and sound amenity for the yard.

4designs We are about to do a project that involves a waterfall type feature similar to this off a pool and appreciate the information. Thank you again.

Kikuchi & Associates The stone is Arizona Sandstone, color "buckskin". It is used for the paving as well as for the spa face. It is cut in a pattern called "Ashlar". Please note the the color may not be accurately represented in photos, especially these night photos.

Kikuchi & Associates The supporting beams of the arbor structure sit atop wood "blocks" that penetrate the roof and sit directly atop the exterior walls of the building. Therefore the structural "load" of the arbor is shared by the house wall. The penetration through the roof and the block itself should be thoroughly flashed with metal to prevent water penetration into the roof. Before attempting this, you should consult with a structural engineer, as the specifics of these support blocks can be influenced by the size of the arbor, the location of the blocks in relationship to windows and doors and the framing of the wall below.
