This church has a lot of cherished history and we wanted to make the exterior hardscape match its beauty inside and out. We started with a stone cross, which sits directly behind the church where traffic passes by. The cross was hand cut and carved; a hole drilled all the way through the center so it could be used as a bubbler. Retaining walls were dry stacked with rock we've stored for 15 years, then capped with Weston Cream. We built a series of seat benches and walls that give a visual which matches the roof line of the church. Inside the entrance pillars of those walls are two hand carved crosses that appear inside two custom circle inlays made of Tennessee Quartz.
