Asheville Landscaping: Flagstone patio
Just getting started on the excavation and layout of our project this week.
This will be a 20×15 flagstone patio.
Our clients like the old farmhouse style, so we will be mixing in some used brick into this project.
Check back soon for progress pictures.
Thanks!

Before And After..
We finished the dry stacked stone garden beds in Weaverville yesterday.
These beds were 100% organic and used mostly local materials.
All the rock was harvested from the property. The gravel for the footers was harvested locally. We filled the beds with local topsoil and mushroom compost from Tennessee.
It felt good to see the joy on our clients face after we completed this job. With him knowing he could grow food for his family without the worry of contaminants.

Asheville Landscaping: Stone Selection
It’s said that an apprentice of a Japanese stone master must spend a minimum of one year learning to select stone before he lays his hand on one.
I thought a lot about this saying today as we harvested stone from our clients property on Upper Flat Creek in Weaverville. We needed a few more select stones to finish the dry stacked planter beds we have been working on.
The upper fields of the property were filled with piles of stone ranging in size from small rubble to 3 ton boulders. Over the years they have been pushing stones off the grazing area for the cattle.
This left us, as stone workers, a goldmine of choices for our walls.
Choosing stone to fit a particular project requires some vision of the future of the stone selected. Though we do cut and shape stones as needed, we select stones to fit the wall with minimal cuts and shaping.
All in all, it was a fun trip up the meadow to enjoy the beautiful valley and look at some ancient local rocks.
I love my job!!
