New Deck, Same Pool

We hope everyone fared well in the brutal heat this past week. We paced ourselves as best we could and completed a beautiful pool deck renovation. The existing dated aggrandized concrete deck was experiencing issues and no longer fit our client’s needs. The time had come to refresh & expand. The new interlocking paver pool deck […]

We worked with Water Street Studios (Architect), Nielsen Construction (General Contractor), & Vess Excavating (Excavator) to bring this  native plant design into reality. We will be back in a month to plant the Biofiler located […]

Fall Reforestation

This week brought us one of our favorite kind of replanting jobs. The sustainable & biodiverse reforestation of pastureland. The property owner recognized that annual mowing was not a winning strategy. It is a unique property here in Afton that hugs a creek line at its border while a sunken spring runs underneath.

Let us know […]

This now privately owned residence had once been a popular bed & breakfast destination. The new owners are going the extra mile to make sure that the natural stone walls & […]
