Projects
Outdoor living at its finest
On this project we used many of the elements an outdoor living space should have. They have a full stainless steel kitchen with hot & cold water in the sink, a pizza oven, grill, drawers & doors for all the kitchen supplies, it is also equipped with pull out waste/ recycle basket and a paper towel holder. To stay warm in the cooler months it also has a gas assist wood fireplace along with a TV mounted above. Seatwall & decrotive fencing serves as a closed area for the dog to roam, but not escape. Great place to relax and enjoy family & friends!
Olde Quarry Kitchen
This was a nice additon to a backyard! It's a very useful kitchen with storage, plenty of counter space, gas buring flat top and grill, and a spot for the EGG. Enjoy!
Fire Pit Area
This was a fun Project! We leveled off an area on a hillside to provide a spot for this fire pit area. The wall block acts as some seating area with a sandstone boulder edge and firepit to bring it all together. Bring on the smores and good fire side hanging!
Stormwater Management And How It Affects Everyone And Everything
Stormwater pollutants start with rain and end with either a properly managed drainage system or poor to no managing being done by both homeowners and businesses alike. Pollutants during a rain event are caused by runoff over pavements and roofs with oils, trash, and debris entering sewer systems and ending up in our streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes. Communities dedicated to helping our water quality through small and large projects, can greatly reduce the pollutants entering our drinking water sources and ecosystems that are used on a daily basis. So next time you wash your car next to the storm drain, dump oils, or wash your paint brush off in the sink, think about where that goes and do your part in protecting our fresh water sources around Decatur. Give us a call to discuss options on how we can help you help our community improve water quality and manage your rainwater responsibly. Below is a video of our Rainwater Harvest System that we use for all of our outside watering needs.
