Project story

The design.

Stone, gravel, and planting follow the approach to the front door. Lighting picks out the steps and stone edges after dark. The work continues around the existing home to a rear patio for cooking and gathering.

GO Designs provided the masonry and stonework, lighting, patio, and outdoor kitchen. Wood gates and screens enclose parts of the patio, with retaining walls along its edge and a built-in grill beside the paved area.
