    Cathy Carr, APLD Well, not officially slate: they are natural stone, PA flagstones set on compacted stone dust.

    Love your work and natural yet very groomed design!!

    Cathy Carr, APLD Thank you so much! I love designing hardscapes and plantings because they dance together create a full environment, a luscious space. Plantings in our area usually need three years to achieve this maturity.

    Is the siding on this house real wood or some type of vinyl, etc...? - I love the look of this home! Can you tell me who the manufacturer of the siding is? Thank you.

    Cathy Carr, APLD It is cedar siding. Attractive in the woodland setting.

    Beautiful pink flowers...what kind of tree?
    · Comment · 4 weeks ago
    Cathy Carr, APLD The tree is a multi-stemmed tree called Lagerstroemia or Crapemyrtle. It is hardy Maryland and south. It comes in a number of flower colors including white and lavender, and the bark and fall foliage colors are often gorgeous.
