Fencing When it comes to fences, whether for privacy, security, children or pets, we can make it happen. Gates that are designed for your equipment to pass through and should be considerate during the planning stages, before it's to late. What ever type of fence it needs to add to your landscape in addition to accomplishing your practical needs.                    Retaining Walls Retaining walls are an ideal way to alter topography and manage water drainage. There are many types of retaining walls to consider including type of construction, materials to be used and esthetic value that will be added to your home, business or organizational property. The primary consideration should be the type of footing for the terrain and height. The specific uses are unlimited.  In the case here the retaining wall served a variety of purposes such as pulling excess rain water away from the home by adding drainage pipes under the retaining wall that exits, without being seen, on the outer end to the right of the wall.  It also created an area so the pool and patio are now level with the home as well as producing a fenced in area for additional safety and beauty.  Dry Stack Walls Dry Stack Walls are a fantastic contrast to the planted or softscape aspect of your flower garden, pathway edge or around trees.  Dry Stack Walls provide an outstanding background or define specific elements of your overall landscape.  There is a lot to think about to make the choice of rock that will be used on your project.  First you must decide how large you want your wall to be to make thr right stone selection.  If you are looking for a tall dry stack wall you may want to consider flag stone (offers a variety of colors), lichen sand stone (also offers several color choices) or block rock (usually tans and browns) as they are generally flatter and easier to chisel.  If you prefer river rock (mostly shades of grays) which is typically rounder you may want to consider using them in situations where little retention is needed and where ground cover plants can take root in the larger joints.  While discussing any new project with Jeff it is important to remember the Color, Form, Line, Scale, Texture discussed on the Landscaping Page so click here to learn more!
