Landscape renovation projects have evolved tremendously. Its not about simply building a deck or adding paver-stone patios and repaving the driveway or walkways.

The days of just having a green lawn cut with straight lines or on an angle like a ball park or a garden with a few nice colorful flowers are gone.

No more little table and chairs sitting in the back yard where you last moved it when cutting the grass. The old ways people viewed and used their properties is long gone.

Today’s  home owner puts a new demand on the Outdoor Living design Market that calls for custom-built Outdoor Living Spaces equipped with ponds, kitchens , water features, lighting, sound,Weather proof TV”s and fire pits etc.

Swimming pools are transforming from in ground boring shapes to pools with infinity edges that fade into the horizon.

Each new project is getting much more personal, reflecting specific style, taste and how people want to experience their properties.
