Make it unmistakably yours.

A low fountain rising through the shallow water of the sun shelf: the quietest water feature we build, and the one children never leave alone.

Arcs across the open pool, lit at night

A wide curtain off a raised wall

Visible spouts, chosen like hardware

Sculptural vessels, often with fire

Transmits light instead of reflecting it, and glows because of it.

The widest style range and the best value.

Multi-tone blends, curves, murals, and medallions.

The tile that does a job.

Natural stone, the longest life

An enclosed firebox with a chimney, built the way a fireplace is built into a house: the feature that turns a patio into a room.

A long, narrow trough of flame set into a wall cap, a ledge, or a table. Fire where there is no room for a seating ring.

A vessel of open flame set on a wall, column, or pedestal. Not the fire you sit around: flame at height, doubled in the water below.

Natural stone laid down layer after layer by mineral springs. Matte, lightly textured, grippy when wet, and noticeably cooler underfoot than poured concrete.

The brightest surface you can put around water. Limestone that recrystallized underground into a clean, even face, throwing light back up into the pool.

Limestone formed from compacted marine shell and cut so the fossils stay visible. Up close it looks like a beach compressed into stone.

Manufactured units, cast and pigmented to consistent dimensions, in the widest range of colors, shapes, and textures of anything here.

Synthetic grass over a compacted base. Green in every season, nothing tracked into the water, and the only surface here that gives underfoot.

Block that holds back earth so a sloped yard becomes usable space, and low walls with wide caps that become permanent seating.

An open frame of posts, beams, and slats that defines a space and filters the sun. What separates a good one from a disappointing one is how much shade it actually casts.

An aluminum frame wrapped in mesh over the pool and deck. Two decisions determine how it feels to live under: the mesh, and how the frame is built.

A built-in cooking and serving space, plumbed, wired, gassed, and finished as part of the house rather than parked beside it. The cabinets are the last decision, not the first.
