I love natural stone and outdoor spaces and creating outdoor 'rooms' where people and gather and have a great time. All of the work you see was done by hand. The only power tools used were a 4.5" angle grinder (stone), a miter-saw and jigsaw (pergola) and some utility tools like a power drill. Hand tools used were a shovel, a trowel, brick hammer, pointer, hole digger, wheelbarrow and a concrete mixing hoe. A lot of people suggested that I should make myself available as a designer/builder, so here I am. If you are interested in building a unique, one-of-a-kind outdoor living space, let me know! I may be able to help. ### Services Provided - Landscape Design - Custom Fire Pits ### Areas Served - Pittsburgh - Monroeville - Plum - Allison Park - Murrysville - Glenshaw - Swissvale - Forest Hills - Fox Chapel - Etna - Millvale - Springdale - Sharpsburg - Churchill - Aspinwall - Blawnox ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | paoke stoneworks | | Address | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15235, United States | | Website | http:// | | Followers on Houzz | 6 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [paoke stoneworks](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/paoke-stoneworks-pfvwus-pf~26161455) - **Website:** http:// ## Selected projects - [Random Yard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/random-yard-pj-vj~2524614) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 55 - [Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-pj-vj~2490067) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 80 - Description: The backyard has gone though some changes over the years.

Nothing grew and was just an eyesore. So, why not build a stone patio and wall. Decided during the build to make one of the wall bar height. And our course, needed a concrete countertop! - [Bamboo Fencing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bamboo-fencing-pj-vj~2492148) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Driveway Wall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/driveway-wall-pj-vj~2489607) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 106 - Description: Construction of a set of natural stone walls to provide privacy in the backyard.

Removed the existing metal fire base and replaced it with a in-ground natural stone ring. Framed the base with galvanized steel for support and better air flow. The entrance was made of natural stone walls as can be seen in better detail in other projects. Area is now more private to the yard and driveway. Made a swing bed for the back area. Replaced the arborvitaes with taxus yews. - [Pergola](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pergola-pj-vj~2489940) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 62 - Description: Building of a cedar pergola and stone walls on the outside of the patio below.
