Client wanted pool, cabana, water features and plenty of outdoor living space. Challenges were the topography and the septic system. Solution was a multi-terrace living space that incorporated the pool and formal ponds. Both sitting walls and retaining walls were designed and built to provide function and beauty. Bluestone was used for the upper terrace floor while, white/lt. gray granite was used for the lower terrace floor (cooler on the feet). The plantings and lighting finished it off with just the right amount of color and texture day and night.
