The end result of the carefully planned out stone work...
I am still amazed at how sharp this project ended up looking. My clients did a lot of research on stone materials and worked closely with me on the colors and patterns that would be displayed in the design. The new front entrance to the home has enhanced the look and feel of the space. I can't wait to see it finished with the planting.
(Natural stone used in this project: Indiana Limestone coping for the steps, walls and boarder of the patio/walkway. Indiana Limestone wall stone for the planter wall and free standing wall...plus riser faces in the steps. The dark infill of flagstone is one of my new favorites...Imperial Black Banas Flagstone)

Wow! What a beautiful front yard makeover! I love the small seat walls and the tile concrete inlay. I'm jealous!

Beautiful frontyard! I love the colors that complement their surroundings. Great work
Nice work. Now is that a poured concrete base that that the stonework is set on? What would this job cost? (penny pincher)

Thanks for the compliments to all...this project design was a collaboration between the designer (me), the customers and the stone mason which made it come out looking as nice as it did...
Yes that is a poured concrete base...I am not sure what the final numbers were on this one as the plantings and irrigation system still have to go in... but a project like this could easily average $20 000.00...plus or minus...depending on stone material choices.
It was not the intention to do it...but this design and installation really raised the bar for my client's street in terms of front yard landscapes! ...continuous feedback reports that passers by are stopping and admiring the masonry work.
