ROLAND & APRIL
A place to gather.
We like to work with a more naturalistic aesthetic. It tends to look a bit more "rugged", but it works well with its environment.
To maximize the usable space in a confined area, we opted to construct a round patio with a dry-laid seating wall along its perimeter. A combination of sizes and shapes, as well as stone types, was used in both the wall construction and the flat work.

Roland and April's wall after. This boulder doesn't look like much, half-buried. But, it's every bit of three hundred pounds, trust me!
This retaining wall runs along the edge of the driveway, and decreases in size until it becomes a line of stone, will be planted out this spring. Once the plants are established, this wall will fade into the background as intended.
