Lunaform Fountain

I stopped by this project a couple of days ago. We installed this last summer and it’s sure looking nice. It was a great transformation of a small space in the Lowry Hill area. We got rid of all the grass and created a Bluestone patio. The focal point of this space is the Lumaform fountain set in the center of a Carpinus bosque with a ground cover of sedum. Lunaform is located in coastal Maine where they hand-make planters and urns. Each is custom made with a wide range of color and finish choices. And as you see here most can be made into a fountain. We enjoy incorporating them into our spaces.

Brasa II Update

We got Brasa II all planted up. It’s sure going to be fun to watch these gardens mature. Be sure to stop by to see the gardens and grab some food, of course.

Brasa II – St. Paul

It’s fun to do commercial projects once in a while but this one is especially cool. Alex Roberts is set to open a new Brasa on Grand Ave in St Paul. If you haven’t been to his Minneapolis location you are missing out. The food is amazing and Alex is a great guy.

We are in the process of getting the beds around the parking lot ready for plantings. This involves removing compacted gravel, old concrete post footings and loosening compacted soil. This is a critial part of the installation process and will determine the success of the planting. Real. Beautiful. Spaces or parking lots start with good soil prep. Stay tuned for finished photos in the next week and be sure to go get some great food at Brasa.

Basswood Residence

Another great design and install project. We’ve been working on this project over the last several years. It’s one of our favorites. Here’s a little taste to show how the gardens are coming along in the front yard. Notice how the steps we designed shift gracefully through the gardens. The gardens are really taking shape. They were planted about a year ago. Keep posted. We’ll get photos of the back soon.
