I like to call this my secret door project. From beginning to end, this landscape installation was a lot of fun and the clients were a pleasure to work with.  Early in the process, they told me that they wanted a flagstone patio, a fire pit, some landscaping and a stucco garden wall with an arched door entering the patio area from the driveway…..not your typical request.   But, I was intrigued by the possibilities and proceeded to create the design.

The stucco wall was built and we installed the flagstone patio and walkway.Stucco wall

We built a fieldstone fire pit and seat wall.

We installed 3 iron trellises and climbing clematis on the garage wall behind the seat wall.

And the entrance from the driveway as well.
