We set large granite slabs to create this natural looking stone patio with breathtaking ocean views.

We get asked all the time, "What do you do in the Winter". Well, we build shelter tents and do stonework, of course! #stonework #granite #patio #winter #mountdesertisland #maine  #acadia @acadialandscape

Beautiful sunset at our Bass Harbor pool project. We used reclaimed granite curbing for the pool decking and walks.

Job site of the day! Bodhi approved on this hot 1st day of summer.

Spring is off to a good start. On this project, we harvested large weathered granite ledge pieces last Fall before they blasted for the foundation. Now, we are placing these large pieces back to retain the cut slope in what we call "faux ledge.&
Stone wall and native grasses at Bear Rock give character in the Winter. Bodhi approved. Spend time outside, even when it's cold.
