Projects
Finished jobs, not renderings
Every photo on this site is work we actually did. No stock, no renderings, no other company's portfolio.
Menlo Backyard
The owners had a sloping back lot they had never been able to use as one space, so we cut it into three level terraces and got a lawn, a raised dining deck, and a sunken fire pit seating area out of the same footprint. The retaining walls do the structural work, and the composite deck ties the levels together.
Primary Bathroom Remodel
A full gut primary bathroom finished in large format travertine run floor to ceiling, with a floating cherry vanity, brushed brass throughout, a backlit mirror, and a frameless glass shower. We floated every wall dead flat before a single tile went up, because at this size one bowed stud shows in every joint.
Estate Pool & Grounds
A hillside estate where the outdoor work ties together a pool surround, artificial turf, a paver driveway with a turf ribbon inlay, an olive tree set into the lawn, and a stone pillar with a lantern at the entry. None of it holds up unless the grading and drainage are solved before the first paver or blade of turf goes down, which on a hillside lot is most of the work.
Three jobs are shown here in full, from a single bathroom to a whole backyard rebuild. If you want to see one closer to your street, or a service we have not posted yet, ask when we come out for the estimate and we will bring photos.
What to look atThe parts that show the work.
The edges and transitions
Anyone can make the middle of a lawn or a wall look fine. Look at where materials meet: turf against a paver, tile at a corner, a deck against coping. Clean transitions are where the real craft is, and where cheap work falls apart first.
What holds up over time
A photo taken the day the job finishes tells you almost nothing about year three. What matters is the base under the turf, the drainage behind the wall, the substrate under the tile. Our galleries show finished work, and it was built to still look right later.
One project, start to finish
The Menlo backyard runs 56 photos because we want you to see the whole arc, from a sloped unusable lot to three level yards. That is the honest way to show work, not a handful of hero shots with the mess cropped out.
