what is the material in the sidewalk? do they have to shovel snow here? »

Dan Nelson, Designs Northwest Architects The side walk leading into the house is inset with slate pavers. The path around the garden is inset with crushed gravel.

Our winters can be fairly mild with temperatures ranging from the low 30's to the mid 40's, however we do get an occasional heavy snow fall.

Thanks for asking

What Houzz contributors are saying:
A large part of the collaboration between architect and landscape architect was coordinating the indoor and outdoor spaces in terms of materials and sensibility — for example, this public-entry courtyard that guides guests indoors via a formal axial plan that connects the parking court to the house. Once inside, guests enter the more public and formal areas of the house.The strict, straight lines become less formal and turn curvy as they move farther out from the house and wrap around the private areas, like the bedroom wing to the left and the outdoor rooms around it.

nice! I like the stone pillars, was thinking of putting 5 of them through out our fence one at the back of the house where the fence would start, then one at the end of the side run of the fence then maybe one in the middle across the longest part of the fence, then one more at the other side of the house where the fence would end.
