Well designed landscapes can improve spaces, create new usable areas, and correct drainage problems. On this project, we built a segmented block retaining wall on one side of the house, and a stacked stone wall retaining wall on the other. The addition of stone steppers, plantings and gravel completed this project.

This is a combination of several features in this photo. First we have a baja shelf as the first step in the pool, then we have a vanishing edge all tile fountain with a runnel from the fountain to the pool. There is a gas fire pit next to the fountain along with segmented concrete with real lawn in-between

This hall table is made from African Mahogany. The top is gilded with silver leaf, and then a patina was applied with sulfur potash to add various contrasting colors and an aged look to the piece. The silver leaf is sealed with several coats of polyurethane to protect it. The outer rim of the top comprises of segmented pieces of mahogany. Since it is not a perfect circle but rather an oval shape, each segment, from the center point of the table to the edge, was cut at different lengths and angles to achieve the oval shape. To continue the semi-ellipse theme, the fronts of the legs are shaped as a semi-ellipse as well and then taper to a smaller oval foot. The legs were hand shaped with a spokeshave. To attach the legs to the top, I scribed the curve of the apron and the top curve to the back of the legs and pegged them in place with dowels from behind. The hall table Stands 29” tall, 48” wide, and 18” deep. (sizes are approximate)
