Poynter Residence Huntington, VT

Before: The Poynters had an old wooden deck they removed and wanted something attractive and more permanent.












The Poynters wanted a small walk, steps and patio close to their front entrance for entertaining.














Bluestone nursery steps with thermaled treads. A thermaled surface is textured to make it more slip resistant.













Full color thermaled dimensional bluestone walk.















Bluestone flagging patio with polymeric stone dust in between joints.















There was an existing retaining wall I rebuilt on the right side of the steps for soil retention and garden space.














Project is finished and ready for grass seed and straw.

Toad Lily




































I took photos of this Toad Lily, Tricyrtis hirta in the garden at my house. This attractive Fall flowering perennial is always a welcome surprise!
