Our contractor says it isn't possible!i** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is standard thick plate glass. It is set into a 6" deep slot in the concrete and a rubber epoxy is used to stabilize it. It is extremely strong. The individual pieces are butted up against each other and can also be glued. **Q: What type of bamboo are these?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: We use root guard. A plastic product, about 2 feet deep as the roots rarely go deeper than 18". Slightly angle the guard outward and the roots hit it and pop up so you can easily trim it. Use several layers of the guard. **Q: this is gorgeous, what is the stone around the pool?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is poured in place concrete with a trowel finish. **Q: are the squares a form?** *(in Photo Questions)* Each square is exact. Did you use a form and if so did you build them? They almost look like a dark side pieces placed to make the box look? I really love this, would like to try it in my back yard. If you could share the art of design that would be great. A: There is a concrete block base and the squares were fabricated on site out of Bronze. It was built from dimensioned drawings. It became quite complicated and the craftsmen were essential. **Q: What kind of grass is this? Where can I buy online?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This Fescue sod and should be available all over the country. If you are in seaside location or the south, you may want to have a mix with Kentucky blue. It is not easy turf, it is real grass. RH **Q: bocci court border** *(in Photo Questions)* What a gorgeous bocci court! Did you use poured concrete to form the border, or is it some type of stone? A: It is Pressure treated lumber. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-17.*
