Professional landscapes are not just sod, mulch, sprinklers and plants. Professionally designed landscapes are outdoor living spaces divided into human-scale activity niches. If they are functional, beautiful, cozy, picturesque, environmentally-sound and in harmony with the neighborhood and the building architecture, they will be used as well as enjoyed from within. To look out through a back yard picture window and onto a flagstone patio with sitting walls, a fire pit, a bird house and bird bath surrounded by pots and plantings filled with culinary herbs and colorful flowers makes life worth living. "Come on over to my house and let's share some wine and conversation," is what I want my clients to say. If your yard feels like an invitation to explore and get cozy, I know my work is done. Randy Nelson of Nelson Stoneworks helps me make this happen. If it weren't for his eye for detail and his timeless craftsmanship, my hardscape designs would not come to life as they do in my dreams. Thank you Randy Nelson for making my dreams become reality.

It has been several months since you implemented the extensive hardscape for our new home and we continue to be very pleased with both the cosmetic appeal and the very functional structures you created.

As you recall, we were required to use dry river beds on both sides of our home to provide containment of any rainwater runoff created by the footprint of our construction. In addition we had step downs, a large deck, and a waterfall/pond area that had to be incorporated into these hardscape features. We cannot thank you and your team enough for all the long hours of very hard labor and the obvious expertise that you provided.

Having dealt with many subcontractors during the almost two year project, it was truly a pleasure to work with Nelson Stoneworks. Realiability and pride of workmanship are rare and treasured assets and you and your company brought that and more to the job.
