Derviss Design making it comfortable with some Indonesian teak furniture and large tropical foliage

Derviss Design try a tree cutting company or arborist.

Nikki Eterginio_Rasmussen can you share the dimesions of the fireplace? Beautiful design.

Derviss Design The plans are in storage at this time but I recall that the fireplace was about 7 feet wide and possibly 8.5 feet tall.

Derviss Design They were purchased at Smith and Hawkin, which is out of business. Try Park Bench in San Rafael CA

Derviss Design If this is your front door I would highly recommend not installing a decomposed granite surface. The fine sandy grit that rises to the top surface will track into your house. It's best to use a material that easy to clean and stays put near the front entry. The space is small enough for a lower level entry court yard of cast concrete pavers or flagstone , both can be dry laid. By installing a low hedge or a short privacy fence/ wall further out from the entry court you will create a sense of privacy without closing off the rest of the neighborhood.

Stamps Design Services Here is a clever idea I saw.... It is a patio made up of pavers. Home improvement stores and web sites both have detailed instructions on how to do this. To save some money you could use 12" x 12" cement pavers instead of the smaller pavers.
(Decomposed granite is not readily available as a cheap resource everywhere...)

aloha42 I weigh in on the side of a patio instead of a deck. The area is too small for a layer that high. You would be peering over your fence into your neighbors yard. Create a ground-level oasis for your own pleasure.

Derviss Design Hello, the field surface material is New England blue stone- Ashlar pattern . We purchased from Bay Area Bluestone in San Rafael California.
