We are working on integrating a large stone water wall into a current project in Mill Valley. The piece from Stone Forest is made of black granite and has a slightly arched shape. We are going to install this above a retaining wall with a rear wood backing, which should make for a dramatic and interesting look. Below is a quick section mock-up to show what the finished product would look like.
I received a catalog recently for Earthstone Studio, a stone fabricator out of Georgia, which has some very interesting natural stone fountain designs. In addition to fountains they also supply granite garden statues, lighting enclosures, planters and stone furniture. Definitely worth a look as another option in natural stone materials.

We are mailing our annual calendar, "A Year in Bloom" for 2008. This year features colorful closeups of a variety of plants in bloom.

As always, if you would like a free copy of the calendar, email us your name and address and we will send one out to you.
We are continuing to make progress on this project in Tiburon despite a little rainy weather. Pictured below is an image of a garden pathway edged with Aluminum edging, which will receive a final finishing layer of pathway gravel. The second image shows a planting bed that has been laid out for planting plan approval prior to installation.
