We specialize in creating enduring stone featuresfrom naturalistic pools and cascading waterfalls to intricate sandstone wallsthat harmonize with California's coastal landscapes. Our team, trained in both traditional and modern masonry methods, has executed projects for prestigious clients from Pebble Beach to Beverly Hills, earning recognition from leading landscape architects.Eddie Langhorne, Pat's longtime collaborator, continues this tradition by combining our expertise with innovative design solutions. Every project reflects our commitment to precision, from positioning multi-ton boulders to hand-carving bespoke stone furniture.
