what we build
PLACEHOLDER. One paragraph on how the work is run, in Austen's words. It is the first thing a stranger reads about him, so it is worth writing properly.
PLACEHOLDER. Cut stone, clay pavers and poured concrete, set on a base built for a Colorado freeze so the surface stays flat.
PLACEHOLDER. Grill, cold storage, counter and power, plumbed and run to code. Built in place, not a cabinet kit rolled outside.
PLACEHOLDER. A planted filtration zone does the work instead of chlorine. Swimmable in summer, and it reads as water the rest of the year.
PLACEHOLDER. Gunite pools, spas and the deck around them, designed with the coping and the paving as one surface.
PLACEHOLDER. Pavilions, pergolas and covered rooms with real footings, so the space gets used in November as well as July.
PLACEHOLDER. Engineered where the grade calls for it, drained behind, and faced to match the rest of the build.
PLACEHOLDER. Dry stack, mortared walls, steps and boulder work, set by hand in stone quarried close to Denver.
PLACEHOLDER. Downspouts and hard surfaces feed the planting instead of the storm drain, which cuts what the garden needs from the tap.
PLACEHOLDER. Planted roofs on garages, sheds and outbuildings, built on the waterproofing and drainage layers that keep them dry underneath.
PLACEHOLDER. Front range natives and adapted species chosen for this altitude and this water, planted to fill in rather than to look finished on day one.
PLACEHOLDER. Low voltage, warm, and aimed. Enough to walk by and to hold the garden after dark without lighting the neighbours.
PLACEHOLDER. Zoned irrigation on a controller you can actually use, and the drainage that keeps water away from the house.
