Design, Drainage and Water Feature
A flowing stream built through a river-rock and boulder channel with steel edging, path lighting and flagstone stepping slabs, running down a lawn toward the lake and planted with abelia and flowering shrubs. A cut-limestone water wall with two scuppers spills into a flagstone patio, with curved limestone steps and capped retaining walls. Boulder-lined dry creek swales carry drainage across the lawn past crape myrtles and oaks, and tiered limestone beds are planted with mistflower.

Custom Designs and Maintenance: Driveway and Fence
Landscape design, driveway refinishing and fence design and maintenance on a lakefront property shaded by live oaks. The refinished terracotta-tinted concrete drive is edged with native boulders and runs to stone-pillared entry gates and a red-painted iron fence beside a stained wood privacy fence. Around it are lawns, rock-bordered beds of society garlic, yellow bells and yucca, and a lakeside patio of flagstone, glazed pots and an infinity-edge pool with a stone-and-tile waterfall and slide.
