Retaining Wall
We offer retaining walls in a wide range of stack stone, brick, travertine, and modular block options. We will help you choose the one that is best for you by complementing the surrounding landscape or pool both functionally and aesthetically. In Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, and surrounding areas we often use retaining walls to provide structural support to sloped areas and transform the area into usable space. We also often use decorative walls that don’t necessarily add structural support, rather they define a space by creating boundaries, visual interest, or can act as a seating wall or planter walls to create a layered landscape look.
Pavers
We use pavers both on our pool decks, landscapes, and walkways to houses to add functionality and beauty. The paver world has drastically changed over the last few years with many more options now than ever before. With the diverse range of styles of pavers now we can install anything from a rustic or natural look to a more modern and larger slab style pavers. Pavers are a great choice on many of our pool builds as we are often dealing with patios that have been backfilled. Pavers allow us to build patios and walkways on a compacted aggregate base that is more of a floating system than concrete and will not crack and settle. We offer many selections of concrete pavers along with natural stone cut in paver dimensions such as travertine, marble, and limestone.
Waterfalls
Few things can add tranquility and ambiance to an outdoor living space like a waterfall. We offer beautifully crafted boulder waterfalls that can be added to most pools as well as stand alone water fall and streams in the landscape that can either cascade into a pond or pond less system. We have developed a reputation over the years as one of the premier water feature builders in Atlanta. You can not only find our work in many local back yards but also in the front entrances of many neighborhoods. Water features can add both beauty and value to your property. But improperly built structures can cost you thousands of dollars in leaks and become ugly eye sores. Developers and homeowners alike have sought us out because our water features do not fail or leak and add significant value to their properties.
Natural Boulders
Often in Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, and surrounding areas we use natural boulders to create structural retaining walls to hold hills back to create usable space. These walls allow us to build very large structural walls on uncompacted soils without the need for footings. Often these walls are more visually appealing than large brick or stack stone walls as we blend them into a natural landscape setting. We also use boulders strategically throughout the landscape to add interest to the landscape and often create elevated plantings beds. Boulders can also be used as stand-alone focal points in the landscape.
Natural Stone Patios & Walkways
We offer many options of natural stone pavers and walkways both around pools and in landscapes without pools.
This can range from Tennessee flagstone that creates a more natural and free flowing look to more modern or contemporary look with stone such as travertine, marble, or limestone.
