HNA Hardscape Project Award Winner Virginia Street Residence Omaha, NE Paver Designs, LLC This project was built in two stages. The front patio area was finished for a family wedding, and the driveway was added after the wedding. The driveway was excavated to a depth of 16-18 in. and the patio is 12 in. deep. Crushed recycled concrete was used for the base with one inch of paver sand placed on top. After the concrete pavers were laid, another inch of base was added for the concrete paver areas. Three round seats were built next to the water feature and pebble designs were created in the center of each. Columns for the freestanding wall were designed with recessed areas for lights and for use as planters. Three by six inch concrete pavers were cut in half for the triple border in the narrower areas of the patio. The front paver entrance is gently ramped with no step for handicapped accessibility if the need should arise. Probably the most difficult stage of this project was drawing over 20 diverse designs over the winter months and then making a final selection. Using our basement floor as a drawing board, the "Y" shaped designs were drawn on Masonite at appropriate angles and distances so that the mirrored pairs nearly touched, and a template was made from this. After laying the field of concrete pavers, we marked the mosaic areas with the template. These pavers were cut out one at a time. All of the colored pavers were cut into thirds, and then angles were cut to follow curves. The template was moved and traced twelve times; each triple-row design took eight hours to complete, an approximate total time of 96 house (just) for the mosaic patterns. Many additional hours were spent cutting and installing the fish, triple borders, etc. The pavers in the mosaic, as well as the koi and borders, were coated with corresponding colors of sealer. These colors are amazingly rich and bright, well worth the extra time and effort! The two sets of koi are different as our designs are constantly evolving. A color booster in matte finish was applied to the pavers on the driveway.

We installed this labyrinth at the University of Rhode Island next to their Wellness Center. The 35' diameter labryrinth itself came as a 'kit' and was laid-out and installed using templates and concrete pavers. The pattern was complicated, but with patience and organization the end product was impressive and beautiful.

Furniture-style dark wood vanity topped with a white quartz counter in a traditional Waterloo bathroom. A budget-friendly stone upgrade — templated, cut, and polished in our Cambridge shop and installed in under a day. Proof that custom stone doesn't need a five-figure budget.

Customer Photo: "Thanks so much Cushion Source! I was a little nervous about the corner cushion (needed to draw and send in a paper template for the non-standard size) but your team was GREAT! I was grateful to Tess & Ted for the recommendation to order from you guys. Our L-shaped bench gets A LOT of reading/music action, and also the occasional nap."

Arched windows with operable radius tops — the louvers run horizontally and the panel itself is cut to follow the curve, so the arch tilts and closes with the rest of the window. That's the difference from a fixed sunburst: this one darkens the room. Two different arch geometries here, a shallow eyebrow and a tall half-round, each templated separately off its own opening. Real hardwood, built at our Palm City, Florida factory.

The custom sofa was made to fit the corner perfectly. The process started with a template made on the floor, the design was drawn up by the designer, the masterpiece was created by our custom upholstery artisan.
