My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Good question! There are pvc drain pipes at the base of the seat wall that direct the water to the back yard. The wall blocks are notched to fit the drain pipes. Here's a close up picture showing one of the drain pipes along the bottom.

    One of my friends has a gas fire pit like this on his patio. He doesn't have this awesome stone wall with an integrated bench. I really like how inviting the whole patio looks. http://www.elegantoutdoors.com/casual-outdoor-furniture/
