A:

When shopping for a construction landscaping company. First start with a licensed professional. Make an appointment for an estimate. Find out who you will be meeting with on that day. The name of the person and their title. Are the the owner, are they a contractor that works for the company or are they a salesperson for the company. Ask about the type of services you performed. See if he or she is knowledgeable, flexible, and someone you would enjoy working with on your project. Happy construction shopping!

Custom built inlayed fountain in split face block wall.
The owners of this beach community bungalow in Huntington Beach wanted a fountain. But their backyard was to small to install a fountain that would take away space from the patio area. So we designed a fountain that set into the block wall. This allowed for the best of both worlds. They wanted something to represent their Italian heritage. So, I hand crafted rose appliqués to adorn the top finial and grape leaves line the fountain bowls. We had to configure special plumbing into the block wall. But, in the end it was worth it.
