Circular Flow

This project was all about creating circular flow around our client's property.  We installed informal step stone walkways around the house using Techo-Bloc Rocka Steps and Maya Step Stones.   Encapsulating the walkway inside the planting bed will ease lawn maintenance while providing sleek look. The retaining walls and seat walls were created with Techo-Bloc Mini-Creta Architectural.  We opted for an informal pea gravel paving surface for the fire area to keep our budget in check.  We installed exposed aggregate concrete pads in various areas for a clean hard surface that still look natural. Our plantings and scale away from the house help to soften the foundation of the home.  www.techo-bloc.com

Boulder Walls

We snapped these photos while traveling around Glen Ellen & Fallen Leaf Lake, CA.  They are great examples of how boulders can create a beautiful natural wall.
