Can you say relaxation station? We built this beautiful paver sitting area with a small dog play pad. I couldn't think of a more peaceful setting than on these gorgeous clay pavers, under a huge oak tree, watching my puppy play. Except maybe adding a drink in my hand! 😆

Sometimes it's just better to cut the sod out and make it beautiful! After fighting this St Augustine lawn for years it was time to enlarge this planter bed, add some beauty, and cut down some of the maintenance. We brought in some boulders, tons of stunning plants, and a pile of fresh pine bark mulch. This one is going to be full of color all year round!

When your frog pond needs an upgrade you know who to call! Yes there was a pond in all that juniper! We hauled it all out and dug a gorgeous new environment for the frogs and other wildlife to enjoy. We installed boulders and rock from our friends at Woody Co. for the finishing touch.

We had some fun turning this pile of stones into a nice stacked stone wall. We were able to lower the hill almost 12" to make it easier to mow while also creating this work of art!

While tough to capture just how uneven these pavers were, you can easily see the huge roots we pulled out. These pavers were definitely an eyesore and bordering on trip hazard. Pulled up, roots removed, new base compacted and reinstalled. Ready for some basketball!!

Instead of battling this steep side yard we are embracing it with a short retention wall and some new beautiful plants and trees. Spanning over 70' this new bed sure beats boring sod! We used Belgard Easton blocks in slate for this project and they work perfectly with the house colors.

Go go gadget paver stretcher!

When you need just a little more space in your cramped driveway we can add those much needed inches. Thanks to Woody Co. we were able to perfectly match these Belgard pavers and give this extra space. Now they are able to park side by side and not step out into wet grass! We also cut out the sidewalk in order to make it look like it was done this way from the beginning and for a cleaner look.

Stone doesn't have to be boring! We were entrusted with bringing this area to life using stone and some Pinterest ideas. We took 750 pounds of natural flagstone and made a beautiful stepping path. Next we installed some black aluminum edging to create these gorgeous shapes. We filled the cells with some 1.5" brookstone gravel as well as some 3/4" brown river stone to really accentuate the tones of the stepping stones. Gorgeous and functional!

We reworked this front planter bed into the cutest seating area to fit the amazing vibes of this home! We pulled the dirt and small tree stump out to give us a blank canvas. From there we reused the old original city bricks to create a path to the new seating area. It's ready for a bistro table and some cocktails at sunset! 🌅
