Flagstone path with pea gravel
Landscape renovation with permeable patio
Irregular bluestone path with Mondo grass and brick border that I helped to install.
I assisted in the construction of many projects, such as this multi-tier retaining wall and permeable driveway.

The use of Sabal Palms to anchor the corner of a house.
This project was a complete landscape renovation where we removed several pine trees, added new sod, and replanted the front and side yards. I was charged with meeting the clients, creating a design, and assisting with the estimates. I helped with the final stages of construction to ensure proper installation and on-time completion.
Zoysia sod was used for its beautiful color and sustainable features.
Gravel path with brick border adds a low-cost, aesthetic walkway on the side of the house.
The landscaping was outdated, lacking color and visual appeal. With the new design proposal, it was important to the client to have low-maintenance plants that provide seasonal interest.
The use of dwarf varieties and low growing species help to minimize pruning and care, while allowing for variety without overcrowding.
This before and after illustration demonstrates the vast transformation that took place in this back yard. The design features an arched pergola with galvalume roof, a custom brick fireplace, a Belgard paver patio, and new Zoysia sod. More photos of this project can be seen in this section.
