Recent Projects Across Madison, Athens and the Lakes
Every project below was designed by our team and built by our own crews. They are grouped by where they stand, because the town, the lot and the ground shaped each one as much as the client’s wish list did.
Madison: outdoor kitchens, a dark-bottom pool and dry-stacked stone
Our Madison work over the last few seasons has centered on outdoor living. A gabled outdoor kitchen pavilion with an exposed cedar ceiling holds a stacked block island with a veined stone counter, bar seating, a ceiling fan and a mounted television. A white pool house carries a covered kitchen bay with bar seating, screened by a row of arborvitae, and a poolside kitchen pavilion with a stone bar island opens straight onto the paver deck. Elsewhere in Madison, a dark-bottom rectangular pool with stone coping and a paver deck faces a stacked stone outdoor fireplace, and travertine treads climb dry-stacked stone risers to a covered seating area. A curved dry-stack seat wall with a thick sandstone cap edges a cobblestone paver patio, softened by muhly grass and flagstone steppers set in a gravel bed.
Athens: brick, built to match the house
In Athens the brief was continuity with the home’s brick. Wide brick steps with sandstone caps run between brick retaining walls, with a river-rock dry creek bed carrying storm water past them, and a flagstone patio is enclosed by brick seat walls finished with the same thick sandstone caps.
Lake Guntersville: limestone and the long view
On Lake Guntersville everything was set to keep the view open from the house. White limestone outdoor fireplaces, one with a herringbone firebox and built-in firewood storage, anchor travertine patios, and a rectangular pool with a square spillover spa and a stacked stone water feature sits below them.
Lake Catoma, Cullman: a pool built into the hillside
Above Lake Catoma, a freeform pool with a raised stone spa spills into the water beside tanning-ledge loungers, with a sculpted rock grotto waterfall and waterslide built into the slope. Mortared flagstone walks with path lighting lead down to a lakeside stone fire pit and curved seat wall, and stamped concrete walkways curve past a mortared stone retaining wall.
