Beauty and Function on Evergreen Road

Look at this!

Stone stairs not only provide a way to get from 
A to B, but also serve as a beautiful garden focal point.
It reminds me of a waterfall.

Before: here's the hole and materials.

Mark has done magic again!


Stonework Complete

VANDEGRAAFF RESIDENCE  FEBRUARY 2012

Patience has paid off.  After waiting several weeks, the quarry
supplying the stone was able to gather enough large flat pieces 
to complete this project.  Stone work has that special challenge: 
building a puzzle with unique pieces and no picture to go by. 
The Client, ourselves and visitors are pleased with the result.  
Lights and final planting are next.

 It is hard work move these slabs around.

A sturdy, well composed stone stairway now leads
to and from the front door.
