An isolated small coffee patio aside a gurgling boulder with soothing sound. Custom stone benches for gardenside seating.  Multiple colors of flagstone compliment the colorful plant palette. A walkway to the rear garden and petanque court bypassing the patio area. A fabulous design by my friend Liz .</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Utah Stone wall is mortar free, with an integrated step which begins a pathway loop of gorgeous flagstone pieces.  The open custom lattice fence suggests the garden border yet borrows the landscape beyond for depth. The rectangular fence lites reflect the similar character of the stone. The urn converted to a fountain draws hawks, finches, and woodpeckers. There are 5 boulders which provide focal points of interest and places to sit and linger in appreciation. This garden is less than 2 years old.</image:caption>
