Dry Pond in Islip Long Island Photos Before & After

This is a small backyard in Islip, the homeowners wanted a large focal point off of their newly laid Blustone patio. We installed a double waterfall with a connecting stream into a large cascading drypond. We installed irregular bluestone stepping stones as a walk through which created a small bridge affect. This is an amazing transformation for such a small area.

Veneer for House Long Island Photos Before & After

We installed new Environmental Stone Veneer for the house with trim stone around door and windows. We installed a new stoop with veneer for the risers and sides and Bluestone treads for the steps as well as Bluestone for the inlay. A new paver walkway was installed making a very elegant entrance to this newly transformed home.

Waterfall Photos Before & After

This was a waterfall that the pool company did in Woodbury, the homeowner said it never properly ran and was leaking. So we brought in new Moss Rock boulders to build up the waterfall. We cut out the existing radius bluestone copping in order for the water to run and return to achieve a more powerful drop.
