Do you have a wall that is low enough passersby or onlooker can still see over? You don’t have to go to the expense of having the wall raised. There is a lot involved in adding a couple more rows of block and then matching the stucco and paint.
Instead why not consider a custom, one of a kind wall extension. Designed to fit your location and style of your home. Mountain views, then extend your wall with a mountain range of your own.
A custom entry gate can do a lot for first impressions for anyone entering your home. They make a statement and most of all they add a lot to your home’s exterior decor.

Add an Artful Screen to the front of the fireplace
The owner had a piece of stained glass art a family member had made. What to do with it. They decided it would make a great screen for the fireplace. I built the frame and stand and the stained glass slipped right in.
It is also very easy to take any design pattern or scene and turn it into a screen. No need to look at the inside of your fireplace when it isn’t lite. A decorative screen really adds to the room and hides the ashes you didn’t clean up yet.
Taking a picture of a new Trellis is easy, but when they look their best you can’t see them at all. But when the winter comes and the Trellis is exposed it is nice to have one that complements the home.
This project was inspired by a photo my mom sent of a bench she saw near her home. She thought it would be a fun project and I had to agree. It is different and quite a conversation piece for any patio or yard.
