I design and install practical but also fun, creative landscapes. In this case the property had once belonged to an artist. I used 6 different stone/paver elements to harmonize with the feel of the home. It was a fun project.

With one day on a mini excavator, the following tasks were completed:

1- removal of a 25’ concrete walkway
2- removal of an old 3’ diameter tree trunk
3- clearing and grading around the property to prepare for pavers and landscaping
4- trenching, installing and backfilling a 80’ drain system

With some planning and a vision the exection can be efficient and cost effective.

Our Central Coast has such a great selection of plants we can choose to design our landscapes with. The natural beauty does not require much to augment it

Hiking up Bishop‘s Peak in Slo, water flowing everywhere. That is how I would model a water feature. Nature inspires.

Followip from my last post about Southwest

Airline executives and labor leaders point to inadequate technology systems as one reason why a brutal winter storm turned into a debacle. One main culprit: SkySolver, a crew scheduling tool, which was overwhelmed by the task.

I focus on foliage and fruit colors of a plant as well as structure and flower. Fruiting gives us color typically early fall through winter while flowers dominate spring and summer. Foliage color will help contrast to dominant greens spring through fall.
