steel and plumbing going in to pool and building walls to support planting and slide. better view.

Dry stack walls using rock that was harvested from a local housing development.

This beautiful lawn was constructed using turf block. It is actually a firetruck emergency parking area. the flagstone border defines the fire lane.

These Italian mosaics were designed by john DeMaria. Every piece was measured precisely and installed around out side of spa. Limestone coping was cut out of small slabs and fabricated on site.

Nice fire pit with bench. Flagstone seat and back rest. Flagstone steppers with ground cover growing between.

Here is the finished pool or I should say pools. The slide comes from upper pool and then in to lower pool. pool has extruding rock for rock climbing

Custom stairs made of concrete and covered in a limestone and a santa barbara style decorative tile veneer. Instead of just stepping the planter walls DeMaria designed a custom swirl designed wall detail.
