Here is a comparison picture of two patios that we have installed. Both patios used , and they are both . The difference is in the sealer! The left used a sealer to permanently keep that darker sheen that the pavers have when they get wet. The patio on the right used a standard sealer that keeps the naturally brighter look they have when the pavers are dry. Both look phenomenal!

Call us today to discuss your new paver patio!

Here is a project that we have recently completed. This is the third project for this client this year!

We previously installed the lighting in the front landscape beds and they create a really dynamic look to the front of the home.

This time around we installed the custom gas fire pit on a travertine tile patio with bistro lighting that gives the patio a truly comforting feel. There is a small landscape bed along side the patio with two water features that accentuate the ambiance.

We also installed an outdoor kitchen with a gas Bull grill and bar seating. Perfect for taking dinner outdoors or when hosting a small gathering.

There are some day/night pictures to show how a little well placed illumination can allow you to enjoy your patio or landscape well after sunset.

Keep an eye out on our page for updates because this project will be featured on Home Show Radio with Tom Tynan!
