Thank you!

A special thank you for all the praise and wonderful comments we received on our booth this past week down at the Minneapolis Convention Center. It does take a lot of effort to put together a nice display but it’s always worth it!

So many of you stopped by with great upcoming projects and we look forward to working with you. We’re motivated for spring, now let’s just get the rest of this snow melted!

Small water features

Adding a small water feature, just enough to enjoy the sound is sometimes the one thing that can complete your outdoor space. We displayed a beautiful hand crafted concrete fountain in our booth at the Home and Garden Show. Each piece done by this artist is made by hand and special design characteristics can make it unique to your location.

We’re looking forward to participating February 24 – 28 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Having won last year’s award of ‘Best Booth’ we’re anxious to try and outdo ourselves! Bring photos and measurements of your intended project areas and see what we can help with on site.

Winter Decorating

ami — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:25:28 +0000

As the bright green foliage has gone away for the season, take notice of the beautiful berries left on branches, the bark of certain shrubs and trees and the dried grass and flower heads. All of these can be used in your window boxes or planters. We’ve all seen the same spruce top winter arrangements. This year don’t be afraid to add oversized branches or spray paint twigs in fun colors. Hydrangea doesn’t have to be the only dried flower to add. For something new, try dried Astilbe flowers, or even spent Lilac flowers or buds. Or again, spray paint the dried flowers. Don’t be afraid to try something new – you can always remove it!

Thanks for your comments and feedback, we always appreciate it. The very popular patio was a new product from Anchor Block called Slaton – and yes, it can be installed in your backyard.

Back Yard Patio

ami — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:54 +0000

This backyard patio project in St. Paul was for a very active couple who enjoyed entertaining. They had an existing deck off the second level of their home and a putting green off the basment level but not a very user friendly access between the two. The existing hillside started as an obstacle and become the main focus for gathering and access to the green. The hillside was reinforced with a retaining wall that enclosed the blue stone slate patio and provided a very roomy seat bench for extra guests. The existing deck pillars were matched in the retaining walls and additional columns with fod du lac stone. Careful planning had to be done for the gas lines running through the patio for firebowls on the columns and electrical lines for the outdoor landscape lighting. The couple can cook up on the deck, entertain on the patio by firelight or easily reach the golf green – their backyard is now more cohesive and beautifully done with natural stone materials.

State Fair was great

The Great Minnesota Get Together was a wrap for one more year! Thank you to all who stopped by to say “hello”. There was high interest in our Palapa island – an authentic thatch roof from Mexico brings a relaxing summer and tropical feel outdoors.

Back Yard Project

This Woodbury residence is a young family of five with three active boys. The couple enjoyed entertaining but wanted to be very accessible and nearby while the kids were playing. They wanted a larger outdoor patio, a gas burning firepit and an outdoor kitchen with a grill adaptable enough for gourmet cuisine as well as host a future T-Ball team. Extra seating space was created without the need for additional furniture with a curved seat wall. An arbor nestled the patio space against the house and created a ‘grand entry’ into the yard also visible from the indoor kitchen window. Curved stone steps allow a generous landing pad in and out of the sliding patio door. A small landscape island set against the house softe
