One of the things that’s really important, especially when you get into crazy projects that have a lot of stuff going on, most equipment pads are fairly basic in nature and plumbing running in a certain direction. As they get more complicated and the plumbing gets bigger, it’s always important to make visual record of […]
Two things I briefly want to talk about. Number one is, part of the project was to build a rope swing in this massive concrete tree. This is solid concrete, twelve feet in the ground. Rebar tied up so they could be able to hang off of there and rope swing and whatever. In this […]
In recent years, there has been a real upswing in fire and water together. Fire could be fire bowl. It could be a lot of different things, or fire pits.

The hybrid pool includes a mostly vinyl liner body but then has the added addition […]
When we take complicated yards that have a lot of grade, we tend to … I’ll tend to build a model. A clay model. A three dimensional model. It helps me, number one, play with the grades and elevations. I know that can all be done on a computer, but for me, it’s hands on. […]
We’re sitting here at a project that we just completed about a month ago. Jodi is now taking it over and going to landscape it. It’s like my baby. When we work as diligently and hard as we do at creating something that we can really all enjoy, it’s hard to give it away. In […]
